It is easy to feel alone in our world today. It can appear that no one notices or sees us. But God sees, he knows us and what we are going through.

1 John 4:18 tells us that perfect love casts out fear. We often fear approaching God, specifically because we know that He knows everything about us. We are afraid of judgement or punishment. But as we approach God in Jesus Christ, there is no punishment, simply redemption. Perfect love casts out fear.

Waiting is the hardest thing to do, yet God often requires it of his people. How do we wait for his intervention in our lives in a way that best honors him and his timing.

In the same way that God fulfilled his promises in the sending of His Son Jesus Christ into the world as Savior, so He will also fulfill his promises to send His Son again to the earth. How do we live in such a way so that we faithfully wait for his coming.

God is always true to his promises to us, but because of our personal experiences with promises on the earth we are skeptical about God's promises as well. Be encouraged to trust God to fulfill his promises to you.

God promises us freedom from those things in our lives that prevent us from experiencing our purpose in Him.

In the same way that we detox physically from the contaminates we pick up in our bodies, so we also need to take the time and effort to detox our soul and spirit from the contaminates of the world.

Let's keep the "ground we have gained" in our walk with God.

Conflict is common to us all. The question is not if we will experience conflict, but when. When we do, what is the biblical way of dealing with, and working through conflict resulting in a positive outcome.
