Faith & Trust

Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalm 27:14 I want to know what’s next. I want to know the plan. Let’s make a list, God, so we can start checking things off as we go. Okay, I finished that one, now what? Come on, God, try…

The Holy Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. How do we explain this phenomenon? Why did God split himself into three parts? How do we reconcile the facts that there are three parts, but only one God? In my opinion, having separate parts actually helps me to understand everything that God is, everything that…

I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 1:4 Since God’s grace is so wonderful, we can…

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6 Who do you trust? I have friends and family who are trustworthy. Do they know, without a doubt, what my life choices…

I’m not the same person I was 10 years ago, or 5 years, or even 1 year. I bet many of you can say the same thing. Life happens, situations change, we are sometimes forced to change with them, or maybe we purposely make a change. We change our jobs, we change our hobbies, we…

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. Isaiah 40:31 The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. Psalm 145:18 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called…

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Isaiah 43:2 God is not surprised when we go through difficult times, notice…

And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. Ezekiel 36:26 I have been called stubborn quite a few times throughout my life. And stubbornness can be good when it helps you…
