Jesus changes everything. It sounds cliche, but there is such truth in these words. In 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 Paul talks about the old covenant and the new covenant. The old covenant was based on laws that were etched in stone. The old covenant was structured to bring glory to God through obedience to the law. … Continue reading Jesus Changes Everything

When God asks me to do something, one of two things usually gets in the way.  Regrets from the past, or fear of the future. In Exodus chapter 3 God appeared to Moses in a burning bush that was engulfed in flames but didn’t burn up.   It was amazing, he had to go take… Continue reading Rest In Today

My sister and I are not alike.  We were raised in the same house, by the same parents, yet our personalities are distinct. There are definitely similarities, but we lead different lives and react differently to life events. Mary and Martha were sisters with different personalities too.  In John 11:1-44 we read the story of… Continue reading His Glorious Gifts

Romans 8:39 Friday night… Continue reading A Weekend With Jesus

Prepare the soil, plant the seed… Continue reading The Sweetest Fruit

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… Continue reading In The Middle Of Waiting

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… Continue reading Understanding God Through The Trinity

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.
