In Acts 16:25-26 we read: “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.” What do weContinue reading “Prayer & Praise in the Midst of Difficulties”

Giving God Our Time
Have you ever taken a moment to really evaluate where your time and attention goes? If we were to track how we spend each hour of our day, the results would reveal a lot about our priorities. For many of us, the things we care about most naturally rise to the top of our to-doContinue reading “Giving God Our Time”
Seizing Our Opportunities
Have you ever looked back and realized that you missed an opportunity that God placed right in front of you? I know I have—more times than I care to admit. It’s a humbling reminder that every day is an adventure with God, and we have no idea what He has in store for us. ThisContinue reading “Seizing Our Opportunities”
The Words We Speak
This week I had a conversation with someone about people who talk poorly of others behind their backs. It’s sad that this happens more often than we want to admit. The truth is that gossip has become a seemingly normal part of our daily interactions. We find it in our workplaces, schools, and even ourContinue reading “The Words We Speak”
Living Out Truth
In a world where the lines between truth and falsehood often blur, God calls us to be people of integrity. Proverbs 10:9 tells us: “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.” Integrity is not just about honesty, it’s about living in a way that’s consistentContinue reading “Living Out Truth”
The Power of Encouragement
In Hebrews 3:13, it tells us: “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” This verse highlights the vital role encouragement plays in our spiritual lives. The truth is, we can never underestimate the power of a kind word or compliment. SuchContinue reading “The Power of Encouragement”
Waiting on the Lord
This week I read Psalm 40:1, which says: “I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.” This verse speaks volumes about the difficult discipline of patience. In our fast-paced world, waiting can feel like a burden, yet it is in these moments that God shapes and molds us, building our characterContinue reading “Waiting on the Lord”
God’s Faithfulness
Each of our lives is a journey filled with peaks and valleys, joys and sorrows. The truth is, we never know what each new day will bring. But in the midst of our ever-changing experiences, there is one constant we can always rely on: God’s faithfulness. Scripture reassures us of this amazing truth. In DeuteronomyContinue reading “God’s Faithfulness”
The Heart of Reconciliation
In 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 it tells us: “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” God’s desire for reconciliationContinue reading “The Heart of Reconciliation”
True Freedom
This next week is the 4th of July, a time where we celebrate the wonderful freedoms that we have in this country: freedoms that many people in our world don’t have. And as we celebrate these freedoms, may we also remember the freedom we have in Christ. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we areContinue reading “True Freedom”
