All over the world, people are celebrating Easter weekend. As I write this, it’s Saturday – the 2nd day. I got up this morning pondering what it might have been like in Jerusalem on the 2nd day. For most of the city, it was just another day. Yes, chaos...

I have a confession to make. I have struggled with fear my entire life. Anxiety runs in my family. And when anxiety reaches a boiling point, it turns into fear. And then intense fear turns into panic-attacks. I feel so weak sometimes. Can you relate? For me, it comes...

I’m out of my comfort zone with this topic. But, God is speaking to me. Here’s the dilemma. American Christians are obese. Now, hear me out. I’m not talking about physical obesity (there’s enough people out there doing that, and rightly so)....

There is no doubt that today’s believers often neglect important Scriptural principles. Jesus said that “[we] are His friends if we do what He commands” (John 15:14). I want to be called His friend. How about you? Then it’s important we strive...

Christians often believe that if they are serving the local church—teaching a class, serving on a committee, singing on the praise team, leading a small group, shaking hands on Sunday morning, working with children, or participating on the prayer team—they are...

What giants are standing before you right now? What obstacles are blocking your way? Are you afraid? Do you think they’re too big to break through? Today, I was reflecting on a story you and I may have read a million times before. An Old Testament story. This...

How are you feeling right now? Are you tired? Worn out? Depleted? Empty? Numb? Is your life off track? Well, I’m here to tell you that I can relate, but we don’t have to let these things destroy our well-being. A couple weeks ago, I wrote a posted called...

In his book Unlimiting God, Richard Blackaby said: “After many years of walking with God and seeking to go deeper with Him, I’ve drawn this conclusion: We limit God.” I couldn’t agree more. Nothing in Scripture tells us that our God has limits. It’s our perception and...

Just a few weeks ago, at the beginning of the year, I wrote a post called “The Most Important Goal for the New Year.” In that message, I talked about how we should make Paul’s goal our goal – to know Christ more. This is still my goal, but can...
