Are you blessed? How do you know? Are you walking in the blessing of being blessed? How do you define ‘blessed’? If you aren’t living a blessed life… why? If you are… how? I could continue with the questions but what I’m trying to do is to have you consider the word and what it […]
1 Corinthians 13, the Love chapter, is one of the more known and popular chapters in scripture. Often spoken at weddings, it always gives information and a warm fuzzy feeling. However, though less spoken or taught about, it also tells us what Love isn’t. What love isn’t can also teach us. The first 3 verses
If you believe that you’ve ‘earned’ your authority or that your authority comes because of who you are… you are mistaken. Authority is one of those words we tend to toss around but really don’t understand what it means or its affects… even when it’s used! And yes, it is important and we do ‘bestow’
Have you ever considered just how all encompassing the word – Trust – is? This word defines a relationship at its core. Without trust, no relationship can grow – it always stays at arm’s length. But what convinces you to trust or not trust someone? Is it merely a feeling? Probably not, but what is

How many times in scripture has ‘God answered’? Innumerable. Do you recall ANY instance of Him not responding to a prayer, a request, a question… anything? Obviously I believe He always responds. Could the problem be that we haven’t always been alert, listening to the answer? Or, maybe the answer isn’t the one we want?
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
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
