Casting Our Anxieties on Christ
Christ has invited you to cast your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. This means that you have to humble yourself by surrendering your ways and submitting to His ways. The following steps will help you overcome anxiety.
Cursed or Blessed?
Have you ever felt like nothing can go right in your life? Like everything is just working against you? Like you were cursed, doomed, or without hope? Sometimes our intuition is more accurate than we realize…
Anxiety & Knowing God's Ways
Human wisdom, strength and riches cannot comprehend, accomplish or buy the peace that comes from being rightly related to God. Peace comes when we live in harmony with the God-created rhythms of life.
“Plan A” Living
To overcome anxiety, we need to acquire a singleness of vision and purpose. The question is whether we are going to live our way or God’s way.
Double-Minded Thinking
Worrying doesn’t accomplish anything and won’t prevent something from happening. The mind that is focused on Christ is anxious-free.
Do you HEAR, what I Hear?
Learning to look past the behavior of others and hear their heart’s cry for significance, acceptance, security, and love is the work of grace and the Holy Spirit. Are we, as adults, really listening to the heart’s cry of the young generations?
What To Do with Satan's Accusations
Satan can render us virtually inoperative if he can deceive us into believing his lies, accusing us of being of little value to God or others. The good news is that we don't have to listen to Satan's accusations! Satan is not your judge; he is merely your accuser.
God's Protection
God’s protection from demonic attack is not something you can take for granted. This protection is conditional on your willingness to respond to God’s provision.
Do you SEE, what I see?
To love others well, we need the Holy Spirit to give us clear, discerning sight. Ask God to open your eyes and help you see the next generation as He sees them.
Don't Miss the Lamb this Easter
This Easter, let us say with John, “Look, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of world!”
Asking Why
The greatest avenue for productive change is to clarify the purpose of any existing ministry or group. Asking "Why?" can force groups to evaluate their purpose and ministry—allowing for necessary changes to take place.
The Equation for Wholeness
All the stuff and status you can acquire don't add up to personal wholeness. The only identity equation that works in God's kingdom is you plus Christ equals wholeness and meaning.
Preparation and Palm Sunday
Preparation is a crucial component of success in any endeavor. As we move toward Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, how are you preparing? What things are you doing to connect with Jesus in a more profound and meaningful way this Easter?
A Radical Inner Transformation
If you claim to be just a sinner, what will you do? Sin! You are professing that sin is at the core of your identity. That's not what the Bible teaches. Let’s believe God that Jesus is at the core of our being and begin to live by His Spirit!
Your Significance as a Child of God
What is forgotten in time is of little significance; what is remembered for eternity is of great significance. And there are no insignificant children of God.
God's Ministry of Darkness
The natural tendency during times of darkness is to do things your own way, not God’s way. When the temptation to create your own light is overwhelming, hold on to the truth that this too will pass. We learn to rely on God during the hard times.
How to Find Fulfillment
Fulfillment is related to your calling in life. God has a place of ministry for you, and it is important to your sense of fulfillment to realize what that is.
The Renewing of Repentance
Walking in God’s ways requires not only confession but also repentance and a turning from our old sinful ways. If we truly repent, we experience a change of mind and attitude and no longer live the way we did before.
