God’s Presence Within Us

It’s often said that if you want to judge whether or not something is good or right, ask yourself, does it produce the fruit of the Spirit? Or better yet, does it allow you to produce the fruit of the Spirit? A successful life rises and falls on His presence being within us.

We Produce What’s In Our Hearts

We Produce What’s In Our Hearts

What’s in our hearts is the real us. And the fruit of it follows accordingly. God knows our hearts but the world needs to know our actions and love. With so many voices, agendas, and distractions competing for our allegiance, our lives must be a daily demonstration of who we live for and serve.

Finding Gratefulness In Grace

Grace is more than something that we receive or extend — grace is also a perspective. Understanding the grace that we’ve been given helps us to posture our hearts in a continual state of gratefulness.

How To Find Peace In Chaos

Peace is not the absence of chaos. Jesus Himself was on the boat with the disciples while the storm was raging. Peace is God’s presence holding and keeping us through it. When everything else isn’t there, God always is.

Can We Talk About Forgiveness For A Minute?

Forgiveness is God’s greatest gift to mankind that He gives unconditionally. When we live and love like God, we too live out of forgiveness. But when should we forgive? How? And are there ever exceptions?

God’s Plan

Sometimes God’s ‘no’ is really a ‘not yet,’ or at the very least, a ‘not this way.’ Keeping God’s way doesn’t just demonstrate our love to Him through obedience, it also preserves and refreshes us. God’s plan is perfect if we follow Him.

A Love That Burns

Imagine a God so great and loving that He would allow Himself to be subjected to circumstances that He is above. Though Jesus had the power to overturn death, He was not exempt from the emotional grip of sin’s toll on humanity — His love. He weeps because He loves His people. A love that burns.
