Philippians 4:9 As for the things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. We all desire peace. We want peace from war with other countries. We want peace in our marriages where conflict would stop raging. We want peace with other people when our views or opinions do not line up with each other. We want peace internally f...

This past week, we in the United States had the opportunity to elect a new president. I have always been intrigued by the process but never have I wanted to put a toe into the arena of politics.

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to pray for one another. We can easily get wrapped up in bringing our own needs and issues before God that we forget to bring others before God in prayer. We see Jesus set the example of praying for His own disciples in John 17. Paul also references time and again how he prayed for those to who he was writing his letters to. Galatians 6:2 commands us to...

Brian gives 3 challenges...or maybe 4...to help those who may be feeling tired or down as they face life as a...

We all will walk through the consequences of our sinful decisions and choices. There will be moments when are fleshly man/woman pokes out its ugly head and we damage ourselves or those around us. There are also times when we must walk through the actions we made before even coming to Christ. Where is God in those moments? Why wouldn’t God deliver us from it all? The truth is, God is a just God and...

Life can so easily become overwhelming. Different roles in life pulling us in different directions can get our minds in a fog. Life can become unmanageable. Fear, anxiety, depression can all creep in if we do not take time to reset and refresh. God, within His creation and design, gave us new beginnings. New mornings. New months. New births. New years. God has implanted in His design the opportuni...

It is easy to get wrapped up in taking control of our lives and situations around us. When we get so focused on us being the answer, we can easily fall into the trap of thinking that making things happen and getting the results are up to us. We as disciples of Jesus, are called to a life focused on faithfulness. We live differently than the world. As we focus on faithfulness, we live in contentmen...

Learning is a wonderful discipline that can powerfully change our lives. We must keep even learning in the proper perspective.

The pursuit of knowledge can be great but also a hindrance to living to the fullest. We need t...
