The Grace Awakening

Read 1 Peter 5:10

The grace awakening is upon us. And what can you expect upon rising from your uninformed stupor? Here are four foundational truths you can anticipate as you get a firm grasp on grace.

Understanding Grace

Read Ephesians 4:32

Instead, be kind to each other,tender-hearted, forgiving one another,just as God through Christ has forgiven you.Ephesians 4:32

A Better Foreman

A person is a product of his or her own thoughts. Thoughts form the thermostat which regulates what we accomplish in life. My body responds and reacts to the input from my mind. If I feed it with doubt, worry, and discouragement, that is precisely the kind of day I will experience.

Going...Not Knowing, Part Two

Going...yet not knowing. Obeying...yet not understanding. Beginning a journey that is unpredictable, risky, untried, and appearing virtually insane—yet prompted by none other than the Lord Himself.

Going...Not Knowing, Part One

Going...yet not knowing. As followers of our Lord we believe He leads us in a certain direction...or in pursuit of a precise goal. That leading is unmistakably clear. Not necessarily logical or explainable, but clear.

A Message for Misfits

Remember now, God is the One who builds trophies from the scrap pile...who draws His clay from under the bridge...who makes clean instruments of beauty from the filthy failures of yesteryear.

My Dad

I await heaven’s gate opening in the not-too-distant future. So do other Christians, who anxiously await Christ’s return. Most of them anticipate hearing the soft strum of a harp or the sharp, staccato blast of a trumpet.

Discoveries

There are few joys like the joy of sudden discovery. Instantly forgotten is the pain and expense of the search, the inconveniences, the hours, the sacrifices. Bathed in the ecstasy of discovery, time stands still.

Self-Control

Don’t fail to draw on the Lord’s power as you work on self-control, knowing His strength is yours. Understand and believe Romans 8:9–14.
