Living Faith

There are few things in life that bring more joy and satisfaction than passing on something we’ve learned or experienced in way that helps someone through a tough spot in life.

While there are many things in life that are complicated and difficult to understand, God’s word is not one of them

One of the hallmarks of Christian faith is generosity, even when it is difficult, and the examples of people demonstrating a generous spirit are boundless.

There is no magic formula for growth, there are some clear principles we that if we follow will prepare to grow in Christ.

Distractions, worries, unexpected happenings will always beg for our attention, but that doesn’t mean we they have to be overwhelming to us.

Just like we depended on Christ at the beginning for our salvation we need to depend on Him daily as we "work out" out the reality of our salvation.

Have you ever had a deal that seemed too good to be true? When we are forever skeptical, we can miss the full and free life that Jesus offers.

I’ve always known that God cares for me, but when discovered that His care extends to everything that relates to me it was a game changer.

Jesus was the personification of God’s love is for all of creation, and He desires then that everyone experience His grace, and that...it is our privilege as His people to make His desire known.

I grew up in church and I learned to pray “in Jesus’ name, but over time I sometimes simply added the phrase as a kind of magic tag for my prayers… maybe thinking that doing so would coerce God to do what I was asking.

Life can be a mess sometimes, and there are moments that we feel like just standing there in tears because we can’t think of anything else to do, and often it is in those moments that God picks us up and draws us closer to Him.

Unplowed ground won't let a crop grow. It's hard, preventing seeds from penetrating, germinating, and growing to maturity.

Travelers who made the journey from Persia to Bethlehem, to worship and offer gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense for the Lord.

A fictionized story written by Ralph Wilson that speaks of a moment when the angel Gabriel was asked to share at a chapel service of the heavenly host…

We know that God can do whatever He wants, whenever He wants, but at Christmastime it sometimes seems as if His miracles shine all the brighter!

Thankfully we have God’s word, but have you ever given thought to how the virtues of God are on display for us to see and learn from in the simplest of things in His creation.

Are you planted by the waters? Are you trusting Jesus in every area of your life?

Have you ever noticed how often we fail to see real value in things in life because we are so taken by what seems those things of greater value to us?

It’s fascinating (and sometimes heartbreaking) to hear some of the twisted views people have about God these days. But despite what people say and thing about Him, God’s redeeming grace enough for us.

Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned from the Ark…no matter how badly the storm is blowing, when you’re with God, rest assured there is always a rainbow waiting!

How do you handle those moments in life when things go off the rails and one thing after another just seems to keep piling up in your life?

Never doubt how important you are… the same God, who created mountains, oceans, stars, and galaxies, determined that the world needed one of you too!

It might sometimes be easy for us to live with disappointment about what we don’t have, how can we overlook the bounty of God’s blessing. If you are a Christian, you are the child of the king and all the privileges that go with that position are yours!

It's not necessary to understand why a Mother, a Father, a spouse, or a friend loves you. And it's not necessary to understand why God loves you, but it certainly does make life worth living.

As my faith in Christ continues to mature, I come to see what a privilege and joy it is speak to my heavenly Father, knowing that He hear not just my words, but the things in my heart that I don’t even know how to put into words.
