Putting God First Part 1 of 2
Wake up, cook breakfast, get dressed, head to work, come home exhausted and…finally sit down to pray but… then… zzzz. Does this sound like your schedule? When we do finally get around to giving God time, we are asking for something and watching the clock. Sounds harsh? Well, it is true. We say that we [...]
Encouraged Not Discouraged Part 1 of 2
Reading God’s word can not only be uplifting, comforting and inspiring, it can be revealing and convicting as well. When God shows us an area in our lives that doesn’t line up with His word, it can sometimes make us feel bad about ourselves. However, when God shows us an area that needs work, or corrects us, He [...]
Speaking Up Part 2 of 2
One reason that we often don’t speak up for things is because we want to be meek and humble. I once heard someone say that “Meekness is having strength under control”. When you are meek, you don’t walk around with your head down and allow everyone to walk all over you, yet you don’t go [...]
Speaking Up Part 1 of 2
Do you struggle with passivity and not speaking up when you should? For a while, I did. I felt that I didn’t want to start trouble, and I wanted to keep the peace. So, if there was something that I needed to speak up on, I would just let it go. Did you know that [...]
When It Matters The Most
It’s easy to get fired up about God and about obeying His word when we are in church. The music’s playing, the Spirit is flowing and the word is right. But I believe the zeal matters the most when we are in our midnight hours, it’s down to just and us and God, and we have [...]
Suffering
Lately, I have been praying for God to help me do better in several areas of my life and in my walk with Him. Since praying that prayer, I’ve been hearing more teachings that convict my heart in the areas that I’ve prayed about. I have also been tested in these areas a little more than before. [...]
Running Away Part 3 of 3
When we run away from something, we are not showing our faith that God will help us deal with the problem
Running Away Part 2 of 3
If we constantly run from things, how will we ever work out in those areas to grow spiritually?
Running Away Part 1 of 3
I recently heard a teaching on running away from things like our problems, confrontation and even obeying God. I felt this message really ministered to me because I’ve often tried to run away from things myself. If I haven’t learned anything else, it is that when we run from things, we will have to confront them eventually. We can’t [...]
He Will Complete It
While reading 1 Thessalonians 5:24 the other day, I felt the Holy Spirit reminding me that I don’t have to be afraid or worry about fulfilling God’s call on my life. You don’t have to worry about fulfilling God’s call on your life either. We can rest assured that it’s one thing on our to-do [...]
