Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas show just how great of an impact a heart of hope and endurance can have. And not just in our own personal resilience, but in reaching and transforming the lives of others.

Hebrews 10:37 With the state of the world today, I find myself crying out, “Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!” Oh how I long to hear the sound of the trumpets!

November 5th – Romans 5:3-5
Romans 5:3-5 For Christians, hope is not wishful thinking but a robust, enduring virtue born from persevering through life's trials.

Exodus 34:6 Solomon was a wise man. And in Proverbs 14:29 he says, “Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly." Boy does that ring true. Patience is a virtue I struggle with daily. And inevitably impatience leads to anger, followed by jumping to conclusions, ending with regret. That’s why… Continue reading October 27th – Exodus 34:6

Luke 6:45 We have an old apple tree on our property. Upon first glance it looks healthy and strong. But the true test lies in the fruit it bears.
