The Battle Within
“Why is it so hard to do what I know is right?” All Christians have had that very same thought throughout their life, often more than once. Why do we struggle with sin after we are saved? The moment we trust Christ as our Savior, many wonderful things happen, one is that we are born…

What excites you for your faith?
This week, I got myself a new Bible…. “AND IT’S PINK!” Sorry… got really excited for a moment. But in truth, I was so excited to get this new Bible. The cool thing is that it helped me WANT to dig into my daily devotions more thoroughly than I have been over the last few…

Memory Baggage
I am looking at this post and I can’t seem to find the words. Looking back at my life has always been a struggle for me. My childhood, teen years, and even college years all have a lot of hard memories tied to them. I guess you can say that my baggage car is full…

Time for teens
Being a teacher for so many years has really given me a heart for all kids, but especailly our teens. They are expected to grow up so fast, but most of them have no idea what life is even about. We want them to know their desires for the future, when all they can think…

Grounded like Coffee
There are times when we just need to be grounded again. For me I like to go to my local coffee shop. I have no expectations for what I am going to do there, even though I usually pack a bag full of things I could do. But then I let God lead me in…

Lead by Example

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. Proverbs 22:24-25 Make…

Why?… Why Not?!
“Why are you doing that?” “Why Not?” This is something that I feel like we ask others, or ourselves, when we are doing something that seems strange or hard. Instead of wondering “why,” how about we ask ourselves “Why not?” Many times we tell ourselves, “It’s too hard.” “I don’t have time.” “I’m too old.”…

Psalm 119 – Vau
Will you connect with God? Vau -Psalm 119: 41-48, you see God connecting with us and us in turn connecting with Him through the power of His Word. The psalmist makes two requests from the Lord. God has fulfilled the two requests so… Are you willing to put in some work to follow the Psalmist…

The Enemy
Have you ever heard some one say, “The devil made me do it.” Most of us have at one point in our life. We shrug it off as a cliché and don’t give it a second thought. But as Christians we should. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as…
