Step Out of the Boat - Faith Through Life's Storms
So, you ever have a lot of things going on and you’re really having to lean on the Lord to give you patience and strength and deliver you from this storm that won’t seem to subside? I have, and it gets me asking myself how strong is my faith and is it strong enough to survive it? Am I ready to “w...

Believing for the Impossible - God's New Thing
I was in treatment yesterday and I got to thinking about this past year and where I am. I’m not sure what you’ve been doing all year and if it’s even what God wants you to be doing, but I know God wants us to ask Him to get involved. He wants us to believe for the impossible because it requires u...

This Is God's World: Learning to Let Go of Control
You know, it’s tough when things don’t go the way we think they will. All of us struggle every day to try to get control of our environments. We try to build financial wealth so that we won't suffer need. We try to take care of our health so we don't feel pain or suffer illness. We try to manage...

Times of Refreshing: The Freedom of Repentance
I recently made the conscious decision to get rid of some old junk I’ve been carrying around with me for a long time. It wasn’t anything major, but it was something that for some reason I hadn’t let go of and handed to God. Now that I have, I feel pretty stupid for hauling it around for as long a...

Who Holds Your Future: From Anxiety to Trust
Are we addressing the real issues in our anxiety over what the future holds? Is our anxiety a product of not knowing what the future holds? I submit to you that we are anxious because we are trying to control what happens and not truly giving our lives to God to navigate. We may “believe” he has...

Choosing Praise When We Don't Understand
I came across this prayer of sorts and since I don’t think I could write it any better, I thought I’d just share it with you today;Lord, everything you do is righteous and holy. Though I don’t always understand the things that happen, my heart is set upon you. I will rest in the faithfulness of y...

Finding Peace in God's Presence
23It’s 5:15 am as I write this morning and I’m sitting here by the water watching God wake up the world. The waves are gently crashing and the morning sky is slowly glowing pink. It’s so peaceful…makes me wish it could stay this way. Perpetual peace. Ever felt this way?We live in a world where th...

Experiencing God's Unshakable Peace
Are you truly experiencing the Lord’s peace in your life?In both Hebrew and Greek, the words for peace have a similar meaning. They mean that you have an inner calm. Things might be falling apart around you, but inside you can experience tranquility. You’re as cool as the other side of the pillow...

Quick to Forgive: Not Letting Small Things Ruin Our Day
Isn’t it crazy how we can let the littlest thing someone does to us, intentionally or not, ruin our whole day? Happens to me all the time. Could be anything, a dumb question, solicitor call, unexpected reports or paperwork, you name it. A lot of times, it throws us off so much we can’t wait to te...

Living a Lifestyle of Forgiveness and Peace
Today you may have a specific person in mind that you need to forgive. Some of us have had very painful things happen to us, even a long time ago, that need to be forgiven. Forgiveness is truly freedom for our hearts, and peace for our soul. But aside from being able to forgive and put major issu...

Beyond Stubborn Independence: Walking in the Spirit
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m pretty dang independent. If independent is defined by stubborn and bull headed, then yep, that’s me. It’s so stupid too. I know I need to bring God into everything I do, but without fail I will embark on “whatever” and before you know it I’m frustrated and beatin...

Good People, Hard Times: Understanding God's Goodness
I got to thinking about last weeks talks of “doing good” and how it seems there is this weird idea of God Karma or something some people have. What I mean by that is it seems as though we can fall into the trap of thinking if we do good, God will reward us with good stuff. Conversely, if we don’t...

Finding Security in an Uncertain World
Look, most of us have large expectations for our life and what it’s going to looks like. What it looks like for each of us varies as much as the differences in each of us. That’s ok. Whatever our ambitions, most of us have at least some idea of what our futures might hold.All well and good. But t...

Finding Purpose in Life's Waiting Places
So, yesterday I mentioned I was reminded that God’ s timing is perfect. And while I have to agree, it’s the time before that “perfect timing” that is the most difficult. I know it is for me. Think about when you aren’t where you used to be but not yet where you want to be. And you find yourself i...

When God Says No
I was thinking yesterday about what I’ve written in the past about God’s “no” and how we respond. The thing is the more I thought about it the more I realized not only is God saying no to us and our plan, he is in fact saving us from ourselves! Think about it, what would your life be like if ever...

God's Detours: When the Unexpected Path Leads Home
I don’t know about you, but when I think back on the road God has sent me down in my life, it’s a miracle I ended up here. I mean, I’m probably not alone in that the path we’ve all taken has been full of detours and side roads along the way. But as I reflected over the long weekend while I flew a...

Who Is Really Doing the Waiting?
You ever feel like your waiting for God’s plan for you? I sure do, but what if all this waiting isn’t really us waiting for God but rather Him waiting for us? What I am getting at is who is actually doing the waiting? We may think it’s us, but we could be wrong. Think about when Abraham asked God...

When Disappointment Becomes Direction
If you’ve ever competed in anything or spent much time trying to accomplish anything, then I’m sure you’re familiar with disappointment. I say this jokingly, because clearly we’ve all had disappointments in our lives. However, the disappointments we face can either keep us where we are or catapul...

Man Plans, God Establishes: Trusting Divine Direction
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”Proverbs 16:9 ESVMost of us do the best we can in the ways we've been taught. Family traditions, business training, and life experiences pretty much shape who we are and how we think. Regardless of our upbringing or professional...

Have you ever been disappointed? Of course you have. Ever been disappointed in yourself? Uh…yeah. No question we all have and it can come from many different things.

Forgive Those Who Hurt You - Let Go of Resentment
You know, we spend a lot of time as Christians going down different paths of Christianity. I do it here sometimes, but as a layman when it comes to Gods word, I always seem to find myself back to the two Great Commandments. Love the Lord with all your heart and soul and love your neighbor as your...

When We Get Frustrated with God
Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s face it, we all do it. We lose a job promotion, a competition didn’t go our way, we experience a death in the family, personal injury or financial hardships. This list is long...we all have them. Life’s hard. "God, why did you let that h...

Prayer: Your First Line of Defense
How many times a day do we see and hear people ask for prayer, say they prayed or given the response after something bad happens, “my thoughts and prayers are with you”? I’d say it happens daily and I say it too. While clearly nothing is wrong with it and prayer is an amazing thing, using it as a...

Surrendering Our Need to Do It All
I’m pretty independent when it comes to feeling like “I can do it”. In fact, I kind of grew up with the attitude of, “if you want it some right, do it yourself!” Maybe you share some of these traits? Come to think of it, I’d say our whole society has become a DIY (do it yourself) society. Think a...
