Personally, I’ve always loved these verses in Ephesians 6 (10-17). I always feel more empowered, enabled, equipped when I think on these verses. And what’s asked of me to be in this empowered/enabled/equipped position is all to my benefit – armor for protection and stand for action. “In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw […]

Do you live your life in the light of the cross? And actually… what does that mean? “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].” (John 10:10b, AMP) “More abundantly” means to have a superabundance of a thing. “Abundant life” refers to life

“Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” (John 14:6, AMP) Jesus was answering Thomas but it could be any one of us who ask these types (the who, what, why, when, where) of questions.

(pursue your dreams, do something you’ve always wanted to do, ask for help, risk, express your feelings – fill in the blank)… but it will require you to be courageous, to be honest with yourself, and to stand for… Are you? If not, do you know why you aren’t? Actually… do you know what ‘being

Disclaimer: read the following as an introduction. It is impossible to fully consider fear and love in a simple blog post, but I can suggest this as a teaser study for you and a promise that if you engage in it, it will profoundly affect you and everything you know and are. I do not
Have you ever ask yourself – Why would God love me!? Why would He take the time, the effort to save me, provide for me in every area of my life… love me? And then look at all He continues to do… and if I were the only one, He would do it all, just

Bottom line: sin is sin. Makes no difference if we choose to acknowledge (fill in the blank) as sin, if the Word says it is – then it is. The Authority? God. How do we know? Because God made it known to us in His Word. We know. One very clear ‘proof’ is when we
I am fond of quoting (and applying) 1 John 1:9, AMP. (But also remember Matthew 6:14-15) “If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything
