“Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but He has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He really is.

What Else Can I Do?

“Then He added, ‘Every teacher of religious law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a homeowner who brings from his storeroom new gems of truth as well as old.’” (Matthew 13:52 NLT) The above statement of the Lord Jesus is on the heels of the parable of the fishing netContinue reading “What Else Can I Do?”

“For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow.” (2 Corinthians 7:10a NLT) As you view your life, what do you most regret? Was it something you did that you now wish you hadn’t done? Or wasContinue reading “No Regrets”

Are You the Reason?

“Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow. That would certainly not be for your benefit.” (Hebrews 13:17 NLT) Have you ever wondered why you are the wayContinue reading “Are You the Reason?”

God’s Kingdom

“May Your Kingdom come soon. May Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10 NLT) What comes to mind when you think of a kingdom?

And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1 NLT) There is aContinue reading “Our Race of Faith”

Only One

“Commit everything you do to the Lord, Trust Him, and He will help you.” (Psalm 37:5 NLT) Over the three years my wife and I have lived in our current neighborhood I’ve passed out several notes and invitations, rarely, if ever, knowing if they were making any kind of impact. So, for Christmas, as IContinue reading “Only One”

Another Way to Live

“Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.” (Philippians 2:14-15 NLT) Ron Hutchcraft shared in a recent devotional: “Our ministry was being honored with a gracious award from aContinue reading “Another Way to Live”
