Words have the power to encourage.

While the New Testament bristles with unripe prophecy, the church often overlooks its lofty claims for the future. We struggle to muster a faith large enough to encapsulate Bible prophecies like the two we’re about to discuss. So we push them to the backburner, behind the easier-to-swallow passages, and shrug as they fade into ineffectuality.

I've just wrapped up my quiet time with the Lord. My plan was to watch a video Bible study that I've been going through and maybe do a little devotional reading. But as I approached my prayer corner I felt the need to check my phone…

Sometimes God’s faithfulness is easiest to see when we look backward instead of forward. We’ve all heard the saying “Don’t look back, you’re not going that way,” and I agree with the sentiment of that statement. It is really unhealthy wallow in the past. But I’ve found that reflecting on the past can give you hope for the future…

Have you ever tried to negotiate your way out of fasting when you know that’s what God is calling you to do?

When have you stepped out of your comfort zone without knowing it? By leaving your comfort zone behind and taking a leap of faith into something new, you find out who you are truly capable of becoming.

I heard this statement recently and it struck me how I can miss out on what the Lord is doing in my life everyday when I only focus on the extraordinary events.

Our story can dictate our decisions and our life. We can hold onto our story so much that it causes present pain. Where does your past take you? Does it cause regret, fear or heartbreak?

This helps us to see life from a positive perspective. Our past is a testimony for others and can bring someone closer to Christ. Our past story can change a heart. However, the issues arise when…

There is so so much I could say on the topic of waiting. I could write pages and pages on the importance of patience, perseverance, contentment and hope. Is it just me, or does it seem like we're always waiting for something?

When it rains on your cruise vacation you’ve got to bring your own sunshine. Looking at the bright side and maintaining a perspective of gratitude when things don’t go as planned.

The movie WarRoom changed my life. I seriously love that movie! When I tell people that, I get one of 3 reactions: I love it too! I haven't seen it!
