Colossians 2:6-7 In Colossians the apostle Paul admonishes believers to walk in Christ just as they received Him. So what does that mean? It means that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. So to walk in Jesus means a continuous, daily walk in faith. Not an easy task. But not impossible… Continue reading February 25th – Colossians 2:6-7

February 22nd – Luke 8:15
Luke 8:15 What exactly is good soil in Jesus' parable found in Luke? It is a heart that is open, honest, and humble. A heart that is genuinely and sincerely searching for the truth and longing to abide in Christ. Would this describe your heart? This type of heart is the first prerequisite to growing and producing… Continue reading February 22nd – Luke 8:15
January 24th – John 14:27
John 14:27 After suffering a childhood trauma, I was diagnosed with PTSD. And as a result, I know first hand the debilitating effects anxiety can have mentally and physically in a person’s life. Feelings of panic. Spiraling irrational thoughts. And paralyzing fear. I used to deal with the anxiety by hiding myself away from the… Continue reading January 24th – John 14:27
December 26th – John 1:14
John 1:14 As we celebrate the season, we give thanks to God for coming in the flesh through His precious Son, Jesus Christ. But after the presents are opened, the meal eaten, and friends and family go home, Christmas isn’t over.

November 27th – John 10:11
John 10:11 The term “sheep” is the current insult of the day. It’s used to describe people who blindly follow the crowd without doing any critical thinking of their own. But for me, I see being called a sheep as a badge of honor. For I follow the Good Shepherd. And He will never lead… Continue reading November 27th – John 10:11
What A Friend We Have In Jesus – Matthew 26
Matthew 26 "What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer." This hymn by Joseph M. Scriven, is one of my absolute favorites. It always brings up wonderful memories of my Grandmother and her sisters gathered around the organ singing… Continue reading What A Friend We Have In Jesus – Matthew 26
October 30th – 1 John 3:18
1 John 3:18 I’ve heard it said that words without action are like a heart without a beat; both are useless. The apostle John tells us that as God’s children, we need to be doers. Because for a Christian, the word love should be a verb, not a noun. It’s easy to use our mouths… Continue reading October 30th – 1 John 3:18
October 26th – 1 John 5:19
1 John 5:19 Even though God is sovereign, Satan is the current ruler over the world. Meaning his hand is in every wickedness which permeates the earth. His lies and deception never miss a chance to pollute and corrupt everything good, taking pleasure in seeing us fall. But as children of the most high God,… Continue reading October 26th – 1 John 5:19
October 5th – Revelation 21:7
Revelation 21:7 We all recognize these lyrics. “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong, they are weak, but He is strong.” As sons and daughters of the world we are weak, sinful, and conquered. But as sons and daughters of God we are strong, righteous,… Continue reading October 5th – Revelation 21:7
October 3rd – John 1:12
John 1:12 Just like we have a bill of rights listed in our constitution, we also have rights listed in the Bible. Rights given by our Creator to all believers. And one of the greatest is the right to be called a child of God. In a literal sense we are all created by the same… Continue reading October 3rd – John 1:12
