“What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord.” Acts 22:16 (NLT)
Giving my life to Jesus was the best thing I’ve ever done. When I repented of my sin and asked Him to save me, that was only the beginning. Salvation isn’t the final destination; it’s the key that unlocks an exciting, life-long adventure of fa...
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help…” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NLT)
In the past, I’ve really struggled with isolation. Ever since my parents divorced and my dad left, I’ve had a hard time trusting anyone. When I was a teenager, I tended to find myself in the wrong crowds. For the longe...
“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” Psalm 119:105 (NLT)
Journaling isn’t the only practice that’s helped me chart a new course for my life after my transformative encounter with the Lord. Honestly, writing out your feelings might be momentarily therapeutic, but the process of journaling alone won’t get you through your darkest night. I never pic...
“And then God answered: ‘Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what’s coming…’” Habakkuk 2:2-3 (MSG)
Lately I’ve been flipping back through some old pages…the ones that held me together when nothing else could. The scribbles, the prayers, the messy words that carried...
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36 (NIV)
I was baptized when I was 21 years old. I came from a pretty rough past. My parents divorced when I was little. I was in and out of group homes. I struggled with drugs and alcohol. I was a high school dropout. By the time I fully surrendered my life to Jesus, there was a lot to leave behind.
I discovered the keys to untangling from doubt as I cried out to God in frustration. As I studied Luke Chapter 1, fresh faith poured into my heart.
For no word from God will ever fail. – Luke 1:37 NIV
We needed a different strategy! I had been begging God to come and fix my problem when He had already given me everything we needed to overcome.
...Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. – Proverbs 4:23 NIV
Have you ever wondered why we are told to guard our hearts above all else?
I used to think guarding my heart meant not opening my heart to someone who wasn’t trustworthy. But I have since discovered that it is not about keeping people out, but about what...
God’s very nature is to heal, protect, deliver, and provide. James 1:17 in the Amplified Bible says: “Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].”
He is...
Apart from the act of Creation, can you find where God decided to do something for humanity anywhere in the Bible without some conversation or partnership with humankind?
When the world became so dark and evil, to the point where God regretted creating people, there was a man who found favour in His eyes. God partnered with Noah and preserved the human race. Without Noah r...
For nothing will be impossible with God. – Luke 1:37 ESV
Has your heart ever been tangled up in doubt and unbelief? You want to stay in faith, but you just can’t seem to marry up the hours of praying and declaring with the results you are seeing in the flesh?
When you find yourself without a job and you just don’t have enough money to make it ...
Grace and conviction aren’t just words. They are powerful actions that offer freedom. Throughout the Bible, grace and conviction changed the lives of King David, the woman at the well, prostitutes, the thief on the cross, and a fisherman named Peter.
Fishermen were considered uneducated men with hot tempers and vulgar language. Seeing beyond the surface, Jesus asked Pet...
Guilt leads to condemnation unless we learn to live in conviction. Conviction is a process where God uses our guilt to guide us towards grace and growth. As we give Him access to our thoughts and motives, He uncovers sin and reveals its true nature. Seeing our sin and hating it, we realize our desperate need for God and grasp onto His forgiveness. His grace covers us, so His conviction can change us.
<...as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. – Romans 4:17
Grace is a word that can refer to mealtime prayers, ballerinas, and personalities. But God’s grace isn’t just a ...
Guilt is a natural reaction to sin. If we’re not careful, it stops being a reaction and becomes a lifestyle that guides our decisions, influences our truth, and leaves us leading a life of condemnation.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. – Romans 8:1
For a long time, condemnation and I were good friends. ...
I started carrying guilt around at a young age. In the seventh grade, I felt guilty for making the cheerleading squad when my friend didn’t. In high school, I couldn’t stop beating myself up for stealing. Now, as an adult, I encounter guilt for yelling at my kids, not spending enough time with my husband, and not having a handle on money. I hide i...
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. – Galatians 6:9
Kylie is my oldest and dearest friend, and like so many of my friends, she frequently runs in marathon races. I am not sure if I am living vicariously through them, but I seem to have amassed many fri...
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” – Matthew 19:26
I love to run, though I’m totally not a serious runner. My idea of running is a five-mile slow jog, and when I say slow, I mean mothers pushing their babies in strollers can overtake me. My f...
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” – Genesis 8:22
Do you have a dream? An idea? A yearning to do something that just won’t go away that you know God has placed in your heart? When God gives us a dream, He is calling forth what He pl...
always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. – Philippians 1:4-6

He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. – Isaiah 40:29-31
