Loved by Christ in a World That Hates Him
He told us plainly that some would reject Him, even as they embrace the celebrations around His birth. Yet He continues to love the world and to sustain those who follow Him.
The Savior for Everyone
From Genesis to the prophets to the manger, God’s plan has always pointed to Jesus. As you read, may you be reminded that His gift is for all people, including you, and that His revelation brings life and purpose.
More Than Naughty or Nice
May these words remind you that your security rests not in flawless behavior, but in confessing Christ and walking in His love. In Him, you can know, not guess, that you belong to God.
Mercy, Peace, and Love Under the Tree
We search for the perfect gifts each December, yet Jude reminds us that God has already given us treasures beyond measure.
The Gift You Don’t Have to Hide
We hide Christmas gifts for surprise and delight, but God offers us something far better; a hiding place of peace, protection, and strength.
Where the Light Leads Us
Just as Christmas lights draw crowds with their warmth and beauty, the true Light, Jesus, draws our hearts toward hope.
A Glimpse That Changes Everything
This Advent reminds us that the way we live. How we respond, serve, and love, can clear the fog for someone searching for hope.
Wrapped in Cloth, Wrapped in Grace
In a season filled with lights, matching pajamas, and festive sweaters, we pause to remember the humility of Jesus’ birth—swaddling cloths, a borrowed manger, and the quiet arrival of our Servant-King.
The Shepherd Who Keeps Us
My prayer is that as you read, you’ll rediscover the comfort of knowing Christ is both your Keeper and your King. May this reminder help you sort through the noise of life and cling to the One who will never let you go.
Preparing Room Through Service
My desire is that these words remind you that Christmas preparation is more than activity—it’s an invitation to serve as Jesus served.
Hearing the Nearness of Jesus
As you walk through Advent, may you slow down, notice His nearness, and remember that the Savior who once cried with us now dwells within us.
The Gift of Holy Waiting
Even when waiting feels uncomfortable, Scripture shows it can become sacred space for growth. Paul’s example teaches us that God works powerfully in seasons where time seems to stand still.
Prepare the Way
John's moment arrived “in those days,” and he fulfilled his God-given role with humility. Our mission is the same: point people to Jesus, not ourselves, and follow him immediately when he calls.
Broken Crayons in God’s Story
God has always chosen imperfect people to color the pages of his redemption story. When fear rises as he calls us, we can trust that his history of faithfulness ensures the outcome.
Childlike Eyes at Christmastime
Through a grandson’s simple “Good morning” and love for Jesus, we’re reminded that the message of Christ is both personal and communal—drawing every generation into His joy. As we share the gift of Jesus with others, our own fellowship with Him grows deeper and our joy becomes complete.
The Gift You Already Have
You are invited to remember the extraordinary gift God has already placed in your hands—a faith strengthened by His power and designed to grow through daily discipline.
Simple Obedience in a Complicated World
Instead of overthinking faith, we are invited to embody the simple, life-giving practices Jesus and Paul laid before us.
Thankfulness and Gratitude
As our hearts turn toward gratitude, let us recall the reminders Scripture gives us about living thankful lives.
Truth Worth Repeating
Hebrews 13 reminds us that God repeats His instructions because we are forgetful people who need constant anchors of truth. As we return to familiar teachings—love, hospitality, purity, contentment—we grow in living them out so that Christ is seen more clearly in us.
Strength for the Long Road of Faith
Hebrews 12 shows that following Jesus involves real effort, loving correction, and perseverance, but we never run alone. With a cloud of witnesses cheering us on and the Spirit guiding us, even our hardest moments become places where God shapes us and secures our hope.
