Glory to God
What brings God glory? For so long I have thought it was the gifts He gives us or the miracle stories we get to tell. Through this past season in my life, I have seen it is the choice of partnering with Him that lifts Him the highest.
Name Above All Names
I am fascinated by the words “I am”. It is probably the smallest statement in the bible. However, there is a lot of power in the simplicity of it.
My Fallow Field Journey
It is not an easy walk through a fallow field. It is even more challenging when you are eight and following your father with much longer strides.
Jesus is in Every Spring
Every year I find myself falling more in love with Spring. It is truly amazing to see the heart of God that is interwoven in the changing of seasons.
Celebrate God’s Spirit that Lives Within You
When we believed the gospel and trusted Jesus to save us from sin and death, we were sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit.
Our Holy Shepherd
Have you ever sat down and questioned why God is so often referred to as a Shepherd and us His sheep? A scripture that is probably most familiar to us all is Psalm 23. David opens with the bold claim “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing” (Psalm 23:1).
Power in the Name of Jesus
The past few years, the Lord has led me on a journey of uncovering the treasures hidden in the name of Jesus, and it has been a glorious experience. It has been an honor not only to unveil the mystery behind this powerful name but also to witness its transformative power.
Jesus: The Bread of Life
Just as we need food for survival in our physical bodies, so we need Jesus. We simply cannot live without Him. Any life found outside of that which is found in Christ is not life. Jesus came that we may partake of His body and never die. This is a miracle!
Here, On Earth
As sons and daughters of the Most High, we have been given great authority, authority to rule over this earth. We see it from the beginning of creation, the Lord gives dominion of the earth to man (Genesis 1:26). When man sinned and creation fell, this dominion was forfeited. However, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus restored creation and reinstated man’s authority over the earth.
Radical Obedience
Since when did obeying the Word of God - the words of Jesus become “radical” or “religious”?
Invitation to Rest
When I am still, my heart becomes aware of Him. Stillness means I just get to be. There’s nothing to do, nothing to think about, and nothing to plan.
Knowledge of God: The Heart of the Matter
Seeking the knowledge of the Lord (the ways, truth, and life) and aligning with His will is our calling as Christians. Reading, studying, partaking in the Word, hearing from fellow believers, dreams and visions, and personal encounters are all ways in which we can come to know the Lord.
Faith That Saves
The first time I read James 2:19, I felt very convicted. I believed that there was one God. I believed that Jesus Christ was (and is) Lord. I believed that one day, every knee would bow and every tongue would confess this reality to the glory of God the Father. This verse affected me greatly because it made me realize that I had been walking in spiritual immaturity. I realized that if I want to live out real, genuine faith, belief alone is/was not enough. It dawned on me that in addition to belief, God required real obedience of and from me.
New Year’s Resolutions
So what if God himself had New Year’s resolutions? What is on his heart for 2025? What if instead of it being something new or fancy it was just the same ole thing: surrender. God waits for the moment that we will fully give ourselves to him. The moment when we allow him to fully lead us, fully love us, fully reveal himself to us.
The Animals Speak
At this 2024 Christmas, almost ninety years after this story, are you needing encouragement to know that Jesus is here, and He knows exactly who you are and what you are facing
Unto Us, a Promise is Fulfilled
From the timing of Christ's birth spoken in Daniel 9:24, to the worship by kings and nations in Psalm 72:10-11, Jesus' birth fulfilled a promise God the Father had spoken about throughout the ages.
You too are a Mary… Chosen to Carry the Son
I am always moved and challenged each time I read her response after being frightened by the angel Gabriel who told she would carry and give birth to the Son of God,"I am the Lord’s servant, be it unto me according to your word," (Luke 1:38). Oh, to have a heart and mind like Mary’s. Total submission. No hesitation. No mental gymnastics. Isn’t that a perfect picture of "trust and obey"?
Faith Triumphs Over Condemnation
God made Himself clear in Hebrews 11—faith is not a recommendation; it is a requirement. It is the spiritual baseline where this journey with God begins. Better yet, it’s like a double-sided key. It simultaneously unlocks both your heart and God’s, enabling you to please Him and allowing Him to dwell within you.
And Be Thankful
What does it look like to live a life full of bearing fruit, overcoming your negative circumstances, living secure in your identity and not easily offended? A life with zero bitterness, envy, unforgiveness… but only joy, peace, love, hope. I believe what is at the core of this kind of life is a heart overflowing with thanksgiving.
How the Bride Speaks
How then does the Bride of Christ live? How does she move across a room? What does she say, and how does she say it?
