Do you meet life… bravely? Not aggressively, bravely. Not fearful, bravely. Not hesitantly, bravely. I believe the source for ‘bravely’ is based in confidence. How can we be brave without confidence? I also believe that confidence has a source, so we know our foundation. Whether you call it, ‘when the rubber meets the road’ or […]
I believe that we all experience these times of crisis on our life’s journey, somehow they are unavoidable. It’s really understandable because we aren’t always our best Christian self, we sometimes are operating from a position of anger or pain or misunderstanding. The point is to not stay there. How and why you got there
I’ve heard, as most of you have, the phrase (paraphrased) that it’s your tests that give you a testimony. Believe this? A different spin on this was one I heard from Joyce Meyer: you don’t know what you believe until it’s tested! How true. I believe that our faith, our beliefs find their confirmation when
This is going to sound harsh but I don’t know any other way to ask this question. Do you seek an encouraging word or are you more inclined to give an encouraging word? They really are 2 different mindsets and also are both viable and necessary in our lives. We need encouraging words because this

Do you give much thought to your arch enemy? You should you know. He’s been called the accuser of the brethren and he wastes no time in doing this and letting us know that he is doing this, though this verse speaks to what his fate is… “Now the salvation, and the power, and the
Yes, I know I’ve written on forgiveness before… this topic always bears repeating. Besides, there are so many different aspects to the word – forgive. This point is – are you quick to forgive, requested or not? How good a forgiver are you? Are you a willing forgiver? Do you forgive and forget? What if
Does this define you? Is this how you describe yourself… a believer? “Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, [as conformity to God’s will and purpose—so it is with you also]. So understand that it is the people who live by faith [with confidence in the power and goodness
Giving credit where credit’s due… I was listening to a teaching by Shelia Walsh which triggered this post. Perhaps the experience of the past 2 years has also influenced. Let’s face it – we kept hearing that we should ‘isolate’ or ‘stay at home’ or ‘quarantine’, etc. which only separated us even more. This has
