It is because of the contrast between the blanket of pure snow and the cardinal cloaked in brilliant scarlet that I’m drawn to consider how our walk with Christ impacts the status quo of today’s society...

While to others we may appear to be wise, gentle, kind, courteous, and loving, there are worms living under the green sod hidden from plain view

Surrender: A constant theme in a believer's life. Every day we find ourselves in a position to make choices ... do we surrender our will for the will of God?

We cannot separate who Christ is from what Christ gives. He gave his all so we might live. He is the bread that came down from heaven, a fulfillment of the gift of manna to God’s chosen people wandering in the desert.

While it is a privilege to serve God in any capacity, it should never be a reason for boasting regardless of position, gift, maturity level or service offered to the Kingdom.

Lodging: Taking up residence. Inhabiting. Dwelling within. Becoming one with. Being recognized as. Enclosed within. Situated. Within. Abiding in. A habitation. Contained within. Oh … the list could go on and on.

"Are there no birds in yonder branches singing? Surely there must be many, and they all sing of mercy received hitherto." -Spurgeon

It may be a silly detail that just seems to speak to me at this particular time. The word “be” at the end of the sentence emphatically denotes permanence. It is as if the gavel has sounded, declaring the authority of Christ in the midst of the statement, that He shall forever my portion be.

God's desire is to be acknowledged by us every moment of every day.  And, He longs for us to have that same passionate desire to be with Him.  He doesn't want (or deserve) temporary visitation rights.

The God of the Bible – the Great I Am – is not a mere changeable being who will transform Himself to fit our circumstances.

We often wonder why the heavens seem closed to our prayers. It could be we have some stubborn pride issues that need to be dealt with.

Holiness is living a life set apart from the world’s influence while being yoked together with Christ. Holiness is righteousness in action.

God's Grace has made a way for us to endure whatever we're facing. His Grace is absolutely and unquestionably sufficient.

Rewording a common childhood chant: "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but the reproach and revilings of men don't have to hurt me!"

How many times have you wanted to shake someone and say, "Make up your mind and serve God wholeheartedly!" Double-mindedness toward God...

Are you tucked away in the palm of the unfailing hand of God where no enemy can find you, where He holds you so tightly that your image ...

Will we allow the enemy's seeds of stinking thinking to take root and grow, or will we cast out those seeds before they can ever take root?

Everyone of us, at times, have dealt with life's circumstances and become overwhelmed. What we feel has nothing to do with who God is.
