Receiving and Living the Blessing
I invite you to look again at the familiar blessing that has brought comfort to so many, especially in recent difficult seasons.
Choosing 100% Faith in God
We must put 100% of our faith and confidence in God, just as Joshua and Caleb did, knowing that true unity and peace come from following His guidance and truth.
Smite ’Em or Surrender Them?
These hard prayers of David teach spiritual maturity, not cruelty. We are invited to be honest about our pain, release vengeance to the Lord, and ask Him not only to stop evil but to bring justice, repentance, and restoration.
Both Faithful and Afraid
Scripture shows us that trust and struggle can exist at the same time. Like David, we can worship God with confidence while honestly crying out for help, learning to wait on Him even as we walk through fear and opposition.
When Desperation Meets the Vine
David’s raw cry for help and Jesus’ call to abide reveal the same truth: we are sustained by God, not ourselves. In our most fragile moments, surrender opens the door for God’s provision, protection, and peace.
Walking with Integrity in a World Full of Offers
Not every “good deal” is truly good for our hearts or our faith. Scripture reminds us that the desire for wealth and influence can quietly pull us off course, but integrity, wise relationships, and trust in God’s provision keep our feet on solid ground as we navigate a world of mixed motives.
Oh My God, In You I Trust
Make sure that your eyes are focused on the God who loves you and promises to lead you in the right path.
Discerning Right from Wrong in a Broken World
There is a vast and compelling difference between the sinner, any sinner, all sinners, and who God is. His perfection reveals our lostness and our brokenness.
Trust, Giving, and Letting Go
Could it be that instead of trying to figure out whether we give from our gross or net income, we should simply give until the Lord tells us to stop?
Giving What God Gave First
The Israelites gave from what God had already provided, reminding us that everything we offer back to Him is first a gift from His hand.
No Other Gods
Rather than treating the Ten Commandments as a checklist, we are called to see the first commandment as a daily posture of the heart.
From Wailing Tents to Trusting Hearts
Like Moses, we often feel overwhelmed by responsibilities we cannot possibly carry alone. God is not intimidated by our honesty— His provision is never limited by our circumstances.
Clean Hands, Pure Hearts
Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we are made clean and invited to confidently enter God’s presence with pure hearts.
Living the Truth of Scripture
Most Christians affirm that Scripture is inspired and true, yet we often struggle to slow down, meditate on it, and live as if we truly believe it.
Words, Hearts, and the Glory of God
Psalm 19 leads us from the wonder of creation to the wisdom of God’s Word and finally to a humble prayer for transformation.
When the Sea Closes Behind You
Remembering the “other side” of our hardships strengthens our faith and invites others to see the faithfulness of a God who still fights for His people.
He Prepares
The Lord is my shepherd. God shepherds you, and he shepherds me. Jesus reminds us in John 10 that shepherds are all in.
Between Two Worlds
Moses lived with the tension of not fully belonging—raised in Pharaoh’s house yet shaped by a Hebrew heritage. Even through failure and exile, God patiently formed him, reminding us that seasons of displacement are often preparation for divine purpose.
God’s Plan Beyond Our Sight
God often works through unexpected people and surprising paths. The blessing of Ephraim reminds us that God’s purposes are unfolding—even when we don’t understand how.
The Lamb and the Covenant
From the first Passover in Exodus to the Last Supper, Scripture reveals a continuous story of redemption through sacrifice.
