Are you enlightened?

Enlightenment means to see, to shine on, to brighten, or illuminate.

Ephesians 1 tells us that the eyes of our hearts can be enlightened to know the hope that God has called us to!

We can be enlightened to know God, to understand that He calls us to a life of hope!

I think of my son when he was little, crying in his crib, feeling alone in the dark of his little bedroom. He would call out for us. The mo...

When you pay attention to something, and you invest time to nurture it, it prospers!

If you tend to a tree, it bears fruit, right?

But in contrast… When something is abandoned and neglected, it decays, and it becomes a deplorable sight to look at…especially to the one who is responsible— the one who was supposed to tend it.

The Lord will care for you if you let Him. So, let Him! Ask God to come and draw you close to Himsel...

Is love really free?

If you have children, you love them unconditionally. But raising them, caring for them, guiding them, providing for them…has not been free.

As a person, it’s cost you a lot! Yet, you would not do it any other way.

True love is a great sacrifice. And the love that God has for us is free to us to receive. But it cost Him everything.

Ephesians 1 tells us that He has freely given us redemption, adoption, ...

Who have you honored in your life?

Maybe it’s a respected mentor or a parent.

We are created to give honor. And there is no one more deserving of honor than God. The apostle John describes a vision from God in Revelation 7,

“Every nation, every tribe and every people and language, [were] standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb (that’s Jesus) clothed in white robes [holding] palm branches in their hands. And the...

The book of Isaiah in the Bible says this about God, “In that day (meaning in the day of disaster) he will be your sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.”

What is the foundation of your life?

You don’t have to rely on your own strength or the stability of your circumstances. There is One who loves you; He is all-powerful. He has the ability to help you and to give you peace —peace tha...

Think of your favorite place to go.

It could be a wonderful park full of nature or maybe a busy area in a bustling city that you love. Imagine yourself there in that place: the joy and delight that that place in this world brings to you.

Did you know that meeting with God in prayer is like going to your favorite place every single day? The joy that God gives us is deeper than any other sort of joy that the rest of the wor...

Are you an optimist?

Even the most joyful people find themselves questioning their entire understanding of life when tragedy walks through their door.

If this has happened to you, I want you to know you are not alone. You are seen, and you’re understood by the very One who created you. Every tear you’ve cried, every question you’ve ever asked, He cares about you in every way.

Do you know God?

He is the one who made everything, including YOU! He set the stars and planets in perfect alignment. He ordered all the laws of physics and the inner workings of our bodies, and He even breathed life into every living thing.

God is powerful, but He is not cold or distant. He wants you to come and know Him as intricately as He knows you. He loves you with a love so big it’s impossible to imagine. And God h...

I know it sounds crazy, but God’s power and love go beyond our human comprehension. We were created to know Him, and His love for us goes beyond any sort of love that the world offers.

When was the last time you looked up at the stars?

When I look at the night sky, I feel so small. Our entire galaxy is one among millions and billions…more than we could ever be able to count!

And yet, the One true God, who made all of this, knows and loves you.

He even knows you at your worst, when you’re at the end of your patience, when you’re selfish or cruel.

God loves you with an unshakeable love. That, my friend,...

Everyone is fighting.

No one seems to be winning.

Do you feel it?

I don’t have the solution to this problem, and I don’t have all the answers, but I know someone who does…

It’s God.

When Jesus came to his people thousands of years ago, the religious leaders had an ancient system of relating to God.

But Jesus overturned that system of law with the way of grace.

And He brilliantly said these words: No one pours new wine into old wineskins or else they’ll burst. They pour new wine into new wineskins.

There’s something new for you. The way of Jesus is like new wine.

Are you living in the past?

Do your thoughts continually return to things done and said? Maybe things you did and said yesterday? Maybe 10 years ago? Things that were done to you. Things that should have been handled differently.

Can I remind you of something so beautiful? God is the God of the future. We’re reminded over and over again of this in the Bible.
