The One Who Has All the Answers and Understands Everything
No one person has all the answers to your questions or understands everything. But God does. So, why don't we go to Him with our questions and confusion? The Queen of Sheba went to Solomon and tested him with hard questions. Nothing was too hard for him to answer or too difficult for him to…

Santa Claims to Be Magical, But God is Truly Miraculous
"He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake." Santa makes this claim, but God is the One who can actually see and hear everything and be everywhere. He's the only one with the power to act on our behalf, to bless...

Home: God Has Always Wanted to Be with Us
From the very beginning, God has been coming to make His home with us—from the tent in the wilderness, to the Temple in Jerusalem, to the hearts of believers today. So, if God feels distant, if you feel unsettled, if something is missing from your life - invite Him in. He’s only a call away. Make...

The Old Testament Was Preparing Us for the New
If God started with the Old Testament, so why shouldn't we? Though Jesus didn't come along for thousands of years, God was pointing to Him from the very beginning. He was painting a visible picture so we could understand what was to come.
-
Consider Other More Important Than Myself?
For the sake of unity and peace, God wants us to give preference to others. It's not that we are unimportant. We're all equally valuable in the eyes of God. But by treating others like they are more important, we are taking the focus off of ourselves and putting it on them.
-
Dedication Without God is Useless
We can't manipulate, coerce, or force God to do what we want, and we shouldn't want to. He knows what's best. So, ask Him. Then, work in cooperation with Him to bring about the outcome that He desires.
-
(Edited) Doing What You Think Is Right Does Not Make You Righteous
Just because something seems right to us, it doesn't mean that it is. God determines what is good and right so we need to check with Him before we just decide we are doing the right thing. If it goes against any of God’s commands, then it’s obviously not what we should be doing.

People Can Be Hard to Trust, But God is Easy
In and of themselves, the person God calls us to follow may not be worthy of our full faith. But, if they're selected and led by the Lord, then by following them, we are not trusting in their ability, but God's. This is much easier! When I remember that this is the way God set things up and that...

Let God's Spirit Change You: New Year, New You
You can't change yourself or be better in your own power, so stop trying. This year, let your resolution be to commit your life to Him and feed His Spirit within you so that He can produce good fruit. Let God change you from the inside out. Then, you will truly be changed and it will be much more...

How to Be Thankful for Absolutely EVERYTHING, Even in a Concentration Camp
First Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." This is so hard and what does it mean? Are we supposed to accept all the bad things in our lives and even be happy about them? While thinking...

Why Are Some People Better at their Jobs than their Homelife?
Have you ever met someone that's great at their job but their homelife is a mess? Whether this is a friend or it's you, it's hard to understand how this happens. In this episode we talk about why it’s easier to be good at our job and what we should do when we realize we haven’t been as good of a...

God May Restrain His Power, But It Is Never Lacking
A parent may let their child win, but it doesn't mean they don't have the power, they're just holding back. God is no different. He may restrain His power, but that doesn't mean He doesn't have it. It just means we don't see it at the moment.

God's Not a Genie or a Good Luck Charm
What does it mean to pray in God's name? If we just say His name at the end of our prayer will we get whatever we ask for? How do we pray according to His will?

God, Is That You? How to Know
Have you ever wondered if God was talking to you or if it was Satan or maybe you were just hearing what you wanted to hear? How do we know God's voice?

I'm Not Sure That's Biblical: How to Handle It
If you are a person in a position of authority, you think your church is going in the wrong direction, or God is being falsely represented, you must speak up. God's Word must be upheld! But how do we go about it?
-
Take Your Problems to the Only One with Any Power
Often we struggle on our own or look to human help, but God has all the power and knowledge and He loves us beyond measure. So, why don't we take our problems to Him and leave them there. In Him we find power, peace, and hope.
-
Why Does God Hold Out On Us?
I do not know why God doesn't prevent or fix our need and pain. But I know that it's not because He doesn't love us, or have enough knowledge or power, or because He isn't good.

Accept and Redeem the Gift Jesus Bought You
Jesus paid the price for our souls. But unless we accept the sacrifice He made on our behalf, it is useless to us. Accept Jesus today!

To the Young Moms - I Haven't Forgotten What It's Like
Though my kids are grown now, I haven't forgotten the struggles of being a young mom. The joys are endless, and wonderful, and every age and stage are great for many reasons. I'm sure I've written about the joys of motherhood before and I'm sure I will again, but that's not what I'm thinking…

I'm Sorry, But I Have Needs of My Own Right Now
Sometimes it feels like we have too many needs of our own to be there for anyone else. We aren't sure if we can set our own needs aside for anyone else. If we don't take care of ourselves right now then no one else will. Maybe you are going through a really tough time and you just feel like you...

A Faith All Our Own
We all need our own personal relationship with God. Maybe He was your parent's God first, your spouse's or your friend's, but eventually He must become your own. Naomi had two daughters-in-law. After all three of the women's husbands had died, Orpah went back home to her family and her gods. But...
