Fighting for Control
Control. We are all grasping for control: in the big things in our lives and in the little things in our lives. I see children, teenagers, and even some adults acting out because in their topsy-turvy lives their behavior is the only thing they can control. After a year like 2020, you don’t have to…

Tossed By The Wind
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God – who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly – and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:5-6 Are you tossed by…

When God Answers Prayer
Prayer should not be merely an act, but an attitude of life. Billy Graham Billy Graham says it well when he goes on to say that “prayer is a two-way conversation between you and God” and “it is the Christian’s greatest weapon”. In Philippians 4:6-7 we are encouraged “[to not] worry about anything, but in…

These women didn’t keep Jesus’ power private, but instead they had willing hands to put God’s work on display and humbly serve…

Steadfast
“He did not waver in unbelief at God’s promise but was strengthened in His faith and gave glory to God, because He was fully convinced that what God had promised, He was also able to do.” (Romans 4:20-21) The second part of this verse is something a lot of us struggle with and probably couldn’t…

Use Permanent Ink
Bravely Pursuing God’s Vision for Marriage My outlook on marriage has been a patchwork of feelings and opinions that have shifted over time. I thought maybe I would be married somewhere far, far in the future at 35 or something. Most of the time trying to conceptualize the thought of marriage at all seemed like a stretch. I would…

How Soon We Forget
“The disciples were astounded. They didn’t understand what had happened with the loaves of bread. Instead, their minds were closed.” (Mark 6:51-52) The disciples had just witnessed Jesus do the unthinkable. It was altogether breathtaking and miraculous. They had just witnessed Him feed 5,000 hungry people with only five loaves of bread and two fish.…

How Environmental Protection Ties to My Faith
Did you know that there is a ministry in environmental protection? Now is time to rediscover the oldest form of ministry, because now more than ever we need to give it our attention. Nature is a ministry not limited in its audience and it has no language barrier. The environment is a topic that when…
