PRAISE
It's easy to praise God when things are going well; when the job is right, when the marriage is strong, when we're not alone. But what about when life is tough; when the cupboards are empty, when you're struggling at work, when you're battling with the brokenness and...

We can walk in freedom! To lay down the suitcases of our past, step off our current path, and follow Jesus. He breaks chains, dries tears, forgives sin, and restores broken dreams. "If the Son sets you free you will be free indeed." ~ John 8:36...
Tempted to Stay
Have you ever been tempted? Whatever the temptation, it's never easy, but what if God is revealing to you it's time to move on from a season or situation, and you're tempted to stay? Staying could mean accepting that things will remain the same, no matter how...

Paul writes in Romans 12:3 that God gifts each of us a measure of faith. To repeat, in case you missed it, faith is a gift. We then need to grow our faith by fellowshipping with the Lord and spending time in His Word until our measure grows and develops. We can then...
