Caryn & Jeremy in the Morning

Because of His earthly walk, the Lord Jesus is able to sympathize with all our weakness, all our disappointments, all our rejections, and all our temptations. Indeed, He identified so closely with us all that He was made sin for us and paid the terrible price that we so rightly deserve. "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been t...

When sin entered the world and infected all mankind, God did not remove sin. Instead, God chose to allow sin and promised to send His son to defeat it. God prophesied that the Son of Man would crush Satan and his works (Genesis 3:15; 1 John 3:8). Even as Paul requests God to remove his thorn, God's response is: But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in wea...

If you came into some unexpected cash, think of all the things you would do with it. What are some ideas that come to mind? Well, a woman named Crystal actually ran into this exact situation where she came into $100,000 that she was not expecting. Of course, she plans on buying a car and paying off some bills, but she didn't want all that money to go to waste. So she actually went to the grocery s...

You may not be at the beginning of a challenge and you may not be at the end of one either. In fact, you may be right in the middle of it. Can you relate to that feeling like when is this ever going to end? This reminds me of some encouragement from Romans 12:12 where it says: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." - Romans 12:12 What I like about this verse is it's not on...

Maybe you’ve been waiting for something God has promised & it feels like it’s never going to happen. A seed doesn’t become a watermelon in one day. After some time, a watermelon starts to form and eventually fully ripens. In the same way, sometimes God’s plans take time and patience can be hard.

Even though the act of praying can be easy at times, knowing the right words to pray is difficult. Especially in moments of great pain or sorrow, sometimes we don't have the words to pray and it's comforting to read this in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount: “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heave...

Israel Lemus, a Texas man with a brain tumor had only two months to live but miracles do happen when you believe in God, as he’s still living after six years from the day that doctors said he only had two months to live. Even though he is not in remission and doctors can still see the tumor, they are stunned at how he continues to survive and live way longer than they have projected. Here is Israe...

Recently, Caryn & Jeremy were at a funeral and what was said of their friend was that they never read the Bible or prayed to try to be the perfect Christian, but so they could grow closer to God. That reminded Caryn of this verse: "Come near to God and he will come near to you." - James 4:8a It really makes us stop and ask ourselves about our motives. Are we trying to be the perfect Christian or a...

Recently, Caryn came across a verse by not one, but two people within the same day. It was Psalm 56:3 which says: "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." - Psalm 56:3 It's a short but profound verse. Especially for Caryn who gets a lot of anxiety while driving, she felt that God was telling her to trust in Him in this area of her life, despite the fear that she has.  When we’re afraid it can li...

In a world that is constantly surrounded by bad news, what is one therapist's advice? Just keep scrolling. You see, our thinking is a lot like an ad we find on social media. A negative thought can pop up and we are given two options, we can either explore the ad, click on the link, and learn all about it or we can keep scrolling for the positive.  Philippians 4:8 says: "Finally brothers and sister...

Caryn & Jeremy recently have lost some friends and co-workers over the last year and at a Celebration of Life ceremony for one of them, TobyMac was sharing from his experience of losing his son. As the family mourned the loss of their husband and father, Toby specifically encouraged the children who had just lost their father to press into God and know that He is still good. It reminded me of this...

As Jeremy was going to bed last night, he thought about the fact that he was setting his alarm clock to wake up at a certain time tomorrow. Now typically, this is a normal task that most people do as they go to bed but have you ever thought about the fact that setting your alarm clock in a step of faith believing that you'll live to see the next day? It reminded him of this verse: "Therefore I wan...

It's helpful advice to know that we can't unsay a cruel word. While what we say can always be forgiven, it can never be forgotten. That's why Paul reminds us in Colossians 4:5-6: "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." - Colossians 4:5-6 Back in...

A new poll has revealed that we insult ourselves more than 1,000 times a year. Of course, it's often said that we are our own worst critic, but is this healthy to think this way? Psalm 139:14 says: "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." - Psalm 139:14 It's easy for us to read this verse and apply it to other people, but how ofte...

We find comfort knowing that everyone who asks of God receives an answer. Everyone who seeks Him finds Him. The door is opened to everyone who knocks. By including everyone, Jesus shows that God's responsiveness to prayer is not based on the goodness of the one who prays, but on the goodness of God.

Today is Global Forgiveness Day and forgiveness is a big word. It should be because it is a hard thing to do. A lot of times we want people to deserve forgiveness and many times we find ourselves in a position where we don't feel like they deserve. Especially if they haven't apologized. But Matthew 6:14 says: "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will als...

Jesus was the epitome of loving others well despite whether they loved Him back or not. It really showcases that as His followers, we are called to do the same in a world that very well may not love us back. Be encouraged by what 1 Peter 3:9 says: "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a...

Many of us believe that in order to get something done, we need to be motivated first. But according to Brad Stulberg, an expert in human behavior, motivation follows action. Not the other way around. You don't need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good.

A pastor named Dave had been fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia for a while and all signs were pointing up that he was going to beat this but then something tragic happened. His appendix ended up rupturing and because of that, he was in some real trouble. The cancer had destroyed all of his white blood cells which prevented him from fighting off any sort of infection. But just as the doctors and memb...
