    God invites us to courageously step into His promises, trusting His faithfulness and love, rather than hesitating in fear or doubt.

    Have you ever stood on a threshold with your hand on the knob, heart racing, knowing there’s goodness inside but still hesitating to step in? Maybe it’s a fresh calling, a new season, a second chance. Maybe it’s peace after a long storm, or hope after a hard night. God brings us to thresholds. He ...read more

    We are each a unique and valuable masterpiece created by God with a purpose. We need to embrace our uniqueness, live out our purpose, and see others as God's masterpieces too.

You know when you're trying to put together a puzzle, and you can't figure out where that one weird-shaped piece goes? It's frustrating, right? But when you finally find ...read more

    Will those who come after us find us faithful? We gain courage and resolution by remembering the lives and sacrifices of those who came before us. We must remember the fallen, resolve to be found faithful, and reflect on the finisher of our faith.

    There’s a hush that can fall over a room when the name of Jesus is mentioned. Have you felt it? In a breakroom, at a family table, on a sideline—your heart lifts to speak and then, suddenly, your mouth feels dry. You care for the people around you. You don’t want to cause friction. You wonder if ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord Series

    Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.

    Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more
