    We so often live with tunnel vision. But if we turn aside and look at what God is doing, we will find an experience that will not end, a mission that will direct our lives, and a presence that will never leave us.

    I confess to a malady known as “tunnel vision”. Tunnel vision is being able to see only what is straight ahead, as if I were going through a tunnel, and there is nothing to see on the sides, only the light at the end of the tunnel. Tunnel vision is not so much a condition of the eyes as it is of ...read more

    Big Idea: God does not lie; He said, “Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Pet. 1:16, NKJV).

    I Want to Be Like Jesus As we look around at the growing influence of chaos and evil, it could be easy to keep silent, give up, and accept that being holy is impossible, even though Scripture guides us to be like the Lord.
