And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). I once saw a refrigerator magnet that said, “I know God promises to never give me more than I can handle, but sometimes, I just wish He didn’t trust me so much.” Can you relate? When trials come and life seems hard, we plead with God to deliver us from the problem when many times His plan is to deliver us in the problem. Praise does not depend on an understanding of the circumstance or trial. Praise depends on…
A delay doesn’t mean God isn’t listening to you. Sometimes it is because He is preparing you.
If you’ve ever been in a tough situation and wondered… “How Can God Forget About Me?” I have the answer for you. God can not and will not forget about you. Why?… Because He created you, which means He wrote the book of your life at the moment of creation. Every detail of your life, God knows about. So that creative idea you’re afraid to start working on, He knows about that. The desire in your heart that you’ve been carrying around for years, that you feel God hasn’t acknowledged, He is totally aware of that too. He knows. God is…
The things we take for granted, someone else is praying for.
The Bible is full of wisdom, but it is often misquoted and misunderstood. Readers and carriers of the message often hear particular verses and passages in ways they were not intended to be heard. While the Bible is often quoted, it is just as often misquoted. The problem comes when people turn God’s word into a collection of quotes and one-liners without paying attention to the context of the verse, or the history behind the text. Nothing’s wrong with connecting with a specific line of Scripture, but it’s important that you know what the verse really means, particularly if you…

I was talking to a good friend of mine on the phone during our weekly check-in and I asked her “When does Testifying Become Bragging?” Is it bragging to share a victory with others? And where is the line? Should we simply be quiet and not publicly rejoice when something good happens for us? Good question! She replied. She began to tell me what she felt on the subject and I began to tell her my views as well. At the end of the conversation , we both agreed that there is a difference between bragging and testifying….that difference being intent. Bragging…

So you’re frustrated in your job, ministry or organization. I believe that many people leave their jobs for the wrong reasons. In fact, I think many people leave before their critical breakthrough. And I strongly believe that people who don’t persevere never break through the wall that most limits their personal growth: themselves. Staying somewhere for five years or longer forces you to change the only thing left to change after a while: you. So I believe there’s tremendous benefit both personally and organizationally in long term tenure. And please know I write this from a place of bias. I’ve been working…

Have you heard the saying “your attitude will determine your altitude?” I believe as Christians our attitudes can block our blessings. It can block us from growing. Our attitude in the wilderness showcases our faith and how much we trust God. We have to understand that God is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do in our lives. God does not change because we doubt Him. He is the same yesterday, today and forever more. He says, “heaven and earth may past away but my word will remain the same,” Matthew 24:25. When God…

Here are six habits that will draw you closer to God. Submitting to God James tells us, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded” (James 4:7-8). Step one is to submit to God and to His Word. Then resist the temptations cast at you by the enemy, …and finally he will flee from you and you won’t be as easily influenced by the demonic habits that so easily beset you. Being Broken…
Since I have grown up in the church and accepted Christ as my Savior at a young age I cannot tell you how many times I have heard the following passage found in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: … “Do you not know that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” With the aid of the Holy Spirit I was able to understand what this passage meant. I understood that what I do…
