In hardships and consequences, some may think that God has left them to fend for themselves. But what if this pain is God’s way of grabbing your attention—to find hope and trust in His salvation through Jesus, who paid the ultimate cost and suffered the ultimate pain? Consider your trials mere blessings in disguise.

Why Work?

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 12:37:36 -0700

Many people get this idea that you have to earn God’s love and grab His attention by performing enough good deeds. Truth is, God already loves us, and there’s nothing someone can do—good or bad—that can make God love them more or less than He does now. Doing works and deeds in Christ are to celebrate and glorify God for His overflowing love and grace in our lives, not to gain it!

In the many ways you may celebrate Christmas, always remember that Jesus is the reason for the season!

Religion vs. Relationship

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:42:03 -0700

Religion enslaves people. Religion causes war. Religion is man-made…
Following Christ isn’t about being religious. It’s about pursuing a relationship with Him.

Sticks and Stones

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:34:02 -0700

Isn’t it about time that we start being intentional about what we say and do in our relationships with family, friends, romances, work, etc? Of course, some people may or may not remember exactly what you’ve said or done. All people, however, will never forget the way you’ve made them feel.

Broken and Beautiful

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 20:09:13 -0700

Certain people may search for the worst in you, but God will always look at your best on the inside—What is imperfect to man, God has redeemed and used for His perfect glory.

Worship is a Privilege

God deserves more praise than the world could collectively offer to Him. Yet, through His unconditional love and grace to the world, He has allowed for an imperfect people to worship Him.

Knowledge is Power?

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 18:37:21 -0700

Someone can memorize all of Scripture, know every single story of the Bible, and correctly interpret the Word down to each dotted “i” and crossed “t.” However, what good is this head-knowledge if it hasn’t been applied to their own life??

God gave us His truth…Not so that we could just have facts to know ”about” Him, but to personally KNOW Him.

The Chase and the Wait

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 21:39:00 -0700

Love is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will fly away from your reach…If you don’t rush the pursuit, but allow yourself to give it time, it will gracefully land on your shoulders at the unexpected moment.

Give to the Potter's Hands

Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:24:00 -0700

God has to take us as clay and refine us through the fire before we can become vessels that will not only hold, but pour out His love and spirit into the lives of others. Through the submission of our time and will, we allow God to be the Potter of our lives.

We Need Each Other

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 19:55:15 -0700

Many Christians distance themselves from people after committing sin, and carry the weight of their own struggles to avoid others from knowing their flaws…But, the beauty of God’s grace is that He uses those around us to minister to us, even after we fail. Rather than neglect, we can confide in friends and family, whom God might just use to help us grow out of our own darkness.

Serving Out of Love

Sat, 08 Oct 2011 13:10:00 -0700

It’s easy for most people to serve others when they expect something in return, such as money or popularity. Serving out of love, as Christ calls us to do, is different. It means being able to intentionally give of ourselves without an expectation of receiving, and instead, trusting the power of God’s selfless love through us, in order to draw people to Christ.

Extraordinary Love

Sun, 02 Oct 2011 22:00:00 -0700

Loving those who love you is simply normal, but to truly love those who attack you is divine.

Know What You Want?

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 07:58:00 -0700

Sometimes, when we think we know what we WANT, God will give us these things to prove to us that they wont satisfy, nor sustain us for very long. In this, He allows us to redirect the desires of our heart and the focus of our eyes upon Him, whom we will forever NEED.

The Big Picture

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 07:50:00 -0700

Alot of things in life seem crazy now or just don’t make any sense. Know though that we’re only viewing a small fraction of the big picture God has for us. If you ask God, He will give you a new perspective.

Beyond Comfort

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 07:44:00 -0700

Sometimes, God takes us out of our comfort zone so that we learn to trust Him even more. So don’t be discouraged in these times, but pray for a humble heart and a teachable spirit.

We're All In This Together

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:57:00 -0700

Calling all Christians: WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM!! We should be encouraging and loving one another rather than gossipping and comparing ourselves to each other. Stop playin’ patty-cake and focus your attention on preaching the Gospel through actions and words….Amen

Forfeit the Blame Game

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:54:00 -0700

To lay aside our pride means to quit blaming and comparing ourselves to others, take up and acknowledge our wrongdoings, and own up to the fact through admittance that WE NEED HELP…Only then can God truly redeem and transform us!
