Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8, Luke 11:9-10 We can be quick to credit an open door of opportunity as…
Shhh… listen. Can you hear Him calling out to you? He’s there, and His whisper is pursuing your heart. The search for God’s still, small voice in your life can be a challenge. Sometimes we hear a voice but struggle to discern the source. It’s difficult when distractions like work, family, friends, or opportunities come…

You amaze me… the only one worthy of honor and glory… praise you, Jesus, praise you… Holy holy holy you are! The doctors first said Jesse wouldn’t wake up. When he did, they said…
This morning my family received grave news about the condition of a dear cousin of mine. Almost a week ago, he was in a traumatic motorcycle accident-no helmet. At the scene, paramedics reported posturing, which is an indicator of severe brainstem trauma. At the hospital, he was put into a sedated coma as the brain…
I am an excuse-maker. There, I said it. Easily at my worst, but I’ve noticed even at my best! The disease has caught my attention, as I’m sure in the days ahead God will begin to unveil the implications of why I’m prone to denial through excuse-making. Where the rubber meets the road was during…
Have you ever tried to do a keyword search for the term ‘happiness’ and ‘Jesus’ together in Scripture? It doesn’t exist.
