I love this image. A flower growing in an unlikely place. If this isn’t a perfect image of God’s grace; beauty from ashes. We all need grace in Christ. Every single one of us. Whether we just started walking with the Lord or whether we’ve been walking with Him for decades. When you’re used to…
I recently read something someone posted online once. It said something along the lines of “God will never lead you to a broken heart.” Tell that to prophet Hosea. This didn’t sit well with me. Yes, God will ultimately lead to redemption (because that’s who He is) but that does NOT mean there won’t be…
I keep going through this cycle of need, dependence, trust, and provision. Then the cycle continues. I am fully convinced that God does not want us to ever be independent from Him but fully surrendered and fully trusting in Him to take care of us and meet our needs. Self sufficiency is not supposed to…
The Problem I recently posted about a woman’s sin nature, which is a great segway into this topic. God created women to be keeper’s of the home, according to Titus 2:5. Men and woman are made equal in the eyes of God but we do have different roles. When I was working full time at…
There is a woman I watch on YouTube and she frequently talks about the sin of a woman that resulted from the fall. That sin is our want to control and rule over our husbands. Our selfishness that says “what about me?” Oh man, is she right! The problem is, this sinful pattern of behavior…
Why is it important to respect your husband? As a woman, our number one need is love. Our husbands number one need, however, is respect. They thrive on respect. I read a book “For women only” by Shaunti Feldhahn (and it’s life changing) where she polled men; surprisingly, they would rather feel unloved than disrespected…
I once heard a quote from the pastor Jimmy Evans that went something like this. “Truth without grace is mean. Grace without truth is meaningless. Grace AND truth are medicine.” Knowing we are LOVED makes the truth BEARABLE. If we give ONLY truth without any love or grace, it will NOT be received. God IS…
I was reading in Jonah this morning and in the commentary, the main theme was not only Gods mercy and grace but His soverign control over His creation to bring about His purpose. SOVERIGN CONTROL TO BRING ABOUT HIS PURPOSES. You mean I can focus more on God and less on fighting the devil? You…
I’m writing a short e-book explaining what God is teaching me about covenant. Covenant is quite simple, yet has so many layers at the same time. Covenant quickly defined means two or more parties who bond together. It was a “life or death” agreement. In the Old Testament, if two men wanted to make a…
Anything we are trusting or finding comfort in, in place of God, is an idol. When I’m not trusting God, I’m usually trusting something else in His place. It’s clear from the Bible that God is faithful. However, are we giving Him the opportunity to show Himself faithful? Faith is a requirement in the life…
