The Deity of Christ
Jesus voluntarily surrendered use of His divine attributes to become like us. His self-renunciation was necessary to have an authentic human experience that included human limitations, like the need for food and sleep.
Discipline vs. Judgment
Discipline is an issue of confronting observed behavior—that which you have personally witnessed; judgment is an issue of character. And we are not allowed to judge others’ character; that is up to God.
An Ending is Just the Beginning
God desires to transform our lives. Endings in life are one big way that he does that. The Bible is full of examples of people who came to discover that an ending in their life was just the beginning of the transformation process.
Already Accepted
We don’t have to pretend with God in the hope that He will accept us. As His children we’re already accepted, so we are free to be honest with Him.
Facing Change and Uncertainty (Part 1)
We can all identify with what it’s like to face change and uncertainty in life, especially after the events of this past year. Life is full of transitions that bring about change. Let’s face change and uncertainty with faith! We couldn’t be in better hands.
Can Christians Have Fun?
Fun is uninhibited spontaneity, and life is fun when we feel free and allow ourselves to be spontaneous. So, as Christians how are we supposed to act?
True Hope is Available
Have you been disappointed or discouraged recently? Let’s resolve to set our minds and heart on Jesus’ certain return and our guaranteed victory with Him.
Purpose or Plagiarism
How often do we try to imitate someone else in order to ‘measure up’? The world teaches us to think that if we were more like that other person, we would be more significant. But God’s Word says just the opposite!
The Opposite of Heaven
Do you avoid thinking or talking about Hell? Why? Is it simply too unpleasant and distasteful? Or is it out of a hidden or repressed fear? Let’s look into that.
Our Greatest Motivation
Realizing that God knows the thoughts and intentions of our hearts should motivate us to live our lives in a way that pleases God.
A Profound Transition
Salvation is an incredible transition point, and the moment we put our faith in Jesus, a significant change occurs. Life in Christ starts the very moment you trust Him as Savior.
Sealed in Him
The Lord has sealed you in Christ by His Spirit, but what do you do when you’re unsure of the Holy Spirit’s presence?
Overwhelming Evidence
Are our thoughts, feelings, and actions more focused on self or God? The evidence of our lives often points to the fact that we all treasure and love ourselves more than God. But our God is so amazing that in spite of the evidence of our sin, He has provided a way for forgiveness.
You Are God's Co-Worker
A co-worker who watches out for your best interests and extends grace and forgiveness when wrong is done is an incredible co-worker to work alongside. Today is a good day to work with the best co-worker you will ever have—that’s God!
Moles in the Yard
“Moles” in the mind take us to shame, anxiety, the sad and the mad—and away from the nourishing presence of Jesus. Let’s use our spiritual weapons that Christ gave us and fight back.
God's Protection Takes Action
Our role is not passive in receiving God’s protection. God requires us to be active participants in the spiritual defense that He has provided for us.
You Are A Minister of Reconciliation
As God’s children, we are entrusted with the significant ministry of reconciliation, and the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the story of enemies being reconciled.
Seeking the Forgiveness of Others
Our purpose in seeking forgiveness from others is not to get them to own up to their offense but to assume responsibility for our sin.
