It’s easy to remember and cry out to God when things are hard and we are walking through the wilderness. In fact, God at times allows these hard times to happen so that we return to Him. But what about during the times of prosperity? How quick we are to claim the glory of “our […]
It’s amazing how quickly we forget God’s ability to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine. We serve a God who has formed man with His hands, used pillars of cloud and fire, parted the Red Sea, healed the sick, and rescued us from and eternity of separation and yet we forget His […]
God has been, is, and always will be the Great Provider. Whatever He gives to us has been carefully apportioned “according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus”. Notice that God’s giving is inseparable from Christ’s glory. When God gives in a way that leaves us with humble means, He has done that […]
The shepherds chose to trust in God’s provision and went to see the thing that was told to them (Luke 2:15). Trusting and obeying meant they got to get one of the first glances of their Lord and Savior. It also meant an increase in their faith and knowledge that God is who He […]
I was speaking with someone recently about being fully satisfied in Christ. The rebuttal I received was, “Nobody understands what I go through”.

How easy it is for us to be wrapped up in how we are going to make it through this situation today. This week I’ve been preparing for our annual convention for our business. My wife left 3 days ago and the week has been a blur of softball, packing for 6, grocery shopping for […]
As I get older I see a desire growing in me to live the simple life. I believe our verse today does an amazing job of summing up what that looks like. It begins with a God-dependent walk in the truth. Few thing make life more complicated and stressful than lies. Once one is […]
I’m convinced that the greatest temptation in the Christian life is to not trust in the provision of God. God continues to remind us that He is our provider. If we journey back to the garden for a moment, we find the fall was the result of not trusting in God’s provision. Adam and Eve let the seed […]
Brothers and sisters, we are deceived if we believe that we can live with a little darkness. Scripture tells us the following about God: For God is light and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5b) God is spirit, and those who worship Him […]
