    Life is measured in meaningful moments, not just minutes. We need to be intentional with our time, eliminating time-wasting activities, seizing teachable moments, and accumulating meaningful experiences.

Life isn't just about the minutes we spend, but the moments we create. Before we dive in, let's remember ...read more

    Trust God’s promises and choose obedience over comfort, even when fulfillment seems distant, knowing faithfulness is never wasted and Christ is our ultimate hope.

    Some stories are best told at the edge of a vista. You climb a hill, the wind lifts your hair, and the horizon stretches like a promise you can almost touch. That’s where we meet Moses today—high on Nebo, heart full, eyes clear. He can see the land he longed for. He just can’t step into it. Have ...read more

It’s not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to ...read more
