The enemy seems so slick but in all honesty, he really only has two modes of operation; deception and distractions, and being deceived can be the biggest distraction of all. I've heard it said that not every thought that is in your mind originated with your mind. Our thoughts are shaped by our surroundings and [...]

Worship Releases Faith
Choosing to worship, especially in the midst of a trial, is one of the greatest acts of faith we can do. In fact, worship is one way we can release our faith. Did you know that you can have faith but not have it working for you because you have failed to release it? We [...]
True Unity Requires Diversity
"Unity is not uniformity. Most people's understanding of unity is the fight for uniformity. True unity requires diversity. Diversity is required for Biblical unity. Unity does not tolerate diversity, it celebrates it. It's what makes it so beautiful. Unity is not something we can create. Most human efforts for unity, as noble as they may [...]
Another Man’s Shoes
My heart is heavy and it made me think of this quote today. This is something Atticus tries to teach Scout at the beginning of the book. The idea of putting oneself in another man's shoes. It seems utterly impossible at times. But we still need to try. Just to stop, breathe, and consider another's [...]
We Get Hungry By Eating
Feeling in a slump spiritually? Missing the atmosphere and connection of meeting with and serving with other believers? Online services just not cutting it anymore? I recently read a poll by the Barna Group that stated in the last four weeks of quarantine that 48% of churchgoers have stopped attending online church altogether. That definitely [...]
Keep Speaking What You Believe
Some people say, "Well, I am realist, I just believe in the facts." I say, well, I am a realist, too! I just believe that the truth of the Word of God is MORE REAL than any factual circumstances and when spoken in faith it has the power to change said circumstances! No matter what [...]
Pray For Leaders
With everything that is going on, those who are in authority have so many voices coming at them. It must be so challenging to decipher what is true. We may feel helpless and out of control, but when things seem so unsettled and disturbed, God is telling us to pray. Be responsible and do everything [...]
Know Jesus, Know Peace
There has never been a better time to know Jesus and enjoy His peace. There is so much unrest and anxiety all around us these days, but it doesn't have to get in you! When you know Jesus, not just know about Him, but have a living, breathing relationship with Him, only then will you be [...]
Peace. Be Still.
I often hear people say, “If God brought you to it, He can bring you through it.” As if it were all a part of His great plan. But not everything we go through is a part of His plan. But even though God doesn’t always “bring you to it”, He can still bring you [...]
Choose to Believe the Power is Working
What we can see outwardly of our situation may seem very discouraging, but the eye of faith chooses to see from God's perspective. After all, that is what faith is for, the unseen. Once we can physically see that which we have been believing for, faith is no longer necessary. No matter what it looks [...]
