The Hard Part of Following Christ!
No one, least of all Jesus, ever said that being a Christian was easy. In fact, we are told over and over again in the New Testament that it is a hard thing. Jesus said that we need to “…take up our cross…” and follow him. For the 21st century individual this analogy is lost [...]

Some of us may see our marriage as stale, dry, stuck, or dysfunctional, and maybe it is, but do we know why it’s that way or gotten to that point? Is it because we tried to change our spouse, and at the same time, they tried to change us only to realize that neither one [...]

Daniel 1: 1, 5-6 1 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, ninety feet high and nine feet wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. 5 As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, you [...]
Read More...Why Am I Here?
We all have good days and bad days. But I’ve noticed that many of people are truly unhappy where they are. They go through each day upset over what seems to be nothing at all. They have produced in themselves a daily ritual of being mad. Drudging through, day after day, mumbling and grumbling about [...]

“For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.”(Romans 14:23b, ESV) What in your life, which is in whole your worship (Romans 12:1), is not proceeding from faith? Is there any area of your life that you are not putting your entire faith of God in? Are there any days you try to “do it [...]

The people who took these vows were considered to be deeply religious because they refused to keep any monetary gain and gave it all away. They equated empty pockets with deep faith. However, when we look at the Bible many of the [...]

2 Timothy 2:26 (New International Version) 26and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.I came across this verse in the Bible study I’m currently doing. It stopped me dead in my tracks when I came to the part [...]

Have you ever felt like you were just losing it because of what you’ve lost? Every now and then, we lose something or someone, and if we’re not careful we can “lose it”–psychologically, physically, or spiritually. For example, when you lose your job, or a loved one. When a relationship you’ve invested your heart and [...]

Galatians 5 is an amazing chapter when read to the heart of the artist. Especially right off the bat in verse 1. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” [Galatians 5:1 NIV] I often think that [...]
