God is always about the work of bringing out of death into life, darkness into light, and bondage into freedom. His life for the ransom of many is about His life to redeem His kids’ lives everywhere there is death, darkness, and bondage. In this exchange God engages us to help us relinquish where we have held onto things (wittingly or unwittingly) that prevent us from experiencing His life, light...

One of the most surprising characteristics of God is His relaxed playfulness. This is what innately draws children to Him and what draws the child in us to Him. Where so many adults had difficult childhoods or no real childhood at all, God wants to restore the child in us and the child-likeness in how we look at Him, life and one another. You not only can afford to play, but God wants to heal, rev...

Every human being was made for eternity. We were made to rule over and lovingly bless a creation that was created to love us back. We were made to explore the cosmos and wonder and its’ meaning, mysteries and intricacies that point toward a God of wonder.

One of the most universal struggles is that of finding out who you are and embracing yourself, flaws and all. Today I share about my own ‘brutal’ process to accept myself. This discovery process is done amidst the backdrop of life, which constantly shifts and presents rude or even cruel surprises. We’ve all been wounded. And the extent to which that has assaulted the formation of who we see oursel...

As we enter a new year, I believe God is urging us to focus on the beautiful. This will release us from the entrapment of the ugly. All the ugly is subject to change.

Are you familiar with the imagery of Christ being our shepherd, with us as the sheep? This is common for many Christians! However, because we are not just any sheep, but ADORED sheep, we can rest in a world that is unpredictable and has predators and danger. We can grow in our ability to trust that our needs will be met. We can look to God to revive and restore and lead us well. There is so much r...

Did you know God wants you free? The body of Christ can experience freedom, life, peace, and joy to the extent to which we connect to Christ as He truly is.

God’s primary mission in His kids is conforming us into the image of Christ. That means the standard of His loveliness - loving as He loves. Most of us love this idea, until we have to face profound ugliness in ourselves. How can we stand it? God’s forgiveness and intense relentless adoration gives us the courage to come out of hiding and let Him heal us. In Christ there is truly no condemnation....

This is a very human question. We hate the unknown and want security. The problem is that God only offers security in your relationship with Him for eternity.

As Love He will not control people and all consequences of their...
