Today, let’s take one word and meditate on that Word all day long. As you meditate, ask the Holy Spirit to take you to places of understanding about this word as it relates to your life that you have never seen before. Let’s focus on Jesus in this way. His name means ‘Jehovah is Salvation’. Throughout this day, focus on the word ‘Savior’. What does the word ‘Savior’ mean in relation to your work? Marriage? Relationships? Etc? He More

In this day and age it seems the very fabric of our cultural morality is unraveling at the seams. What is right is now viewed as wrong. Things that are sinful and immoral are now viewed as civil rights. What can the church do about it? One thing we cannot do is expect the world to come to us, even in our seeker sensitive focus. Jesus commanded us to go and make disciples…not to wait for them to come to us. No matter how appealing we make our church More

Have you ever had one of those days where you just felt overwhelmed? And I’m not talking about overwhelmed with bad things…just the busyness of life. It is in those moments of total mental, emotional, and physical saturation that we need Jesus and His kingdom to come into our lives the most…but we are often too overwhelmed to receive what He offers. It is understandable that we cannot just stop what we are doing all of a sudden – but we can More

For Jesus to rule and reign in our lives we must come to a place of trust. We do not experience His power and the benefits of His kingdom if we do not trust Him. Our King Jesus is holy and pure and perfect. That means everything that He desires for us and everything He commands us to do is based purely out of what is good and right for us. It is when we do not trust His holiness that we do not experience kingdom life. Almost daily I discover ways More

As children, we often play games in which a knight in shining armor comes riding in on his horse of white. My brothers and cousins and I would play for hours. We had the added advantage of having our own horses, making the fantasy all the more real in our minds! What fun it was to get to play the part of the hero and rush in to vanquish the foe and rescue the fair maiden. In my own hidden world, I secretly always wanted to be the one that got rescued. More

Today we are going to meditate on just one phrase. Meditation is simply focusing our minds on one thought for a period of time. A great illustration of meditation is this: a cow has one stomach with 4 digestive compartments. As the cow eats a mouthful of grass, it swallows that food. After a period of digestion, it then regurgitates that partially digested grass into its mouth where it chews it more. This regurgitated food is called cud. A cow chews More

  I remember well the darkness I was bound in for so long…and I remember just as well the very moment when my eyes began to open. Reality was that I had believed so many lies of the enemy that all it took was a little glimmer of light in the mass of my darkness to illumine my eyes and set me on the path of righteousness. When that moment happened, I decided that falling headlong into the Light was my one and only response. I did not want just a More

There are days when we have become so emptied by the cares of the world that we feel we have no strength to even take our next step…emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or even physically. It is in such times that we need an energy source that does not run dry when we do! God’s Word tells us we have not because we ask not. When is the last time you asked the Lord to fill you with His power? Did you ask in faith or were you simply going through More

  Jesus Christ is my King…but He is a good King. His rule is born of His holiness – His perfection. He rules in perfect love, meaning He does not force me to follow Him. This King loves me right where I am…but loves me enough to not leave me there. It was that kind of love – that righteous, kingly, perfect love – that led me to repentance and set me on the road to freedom. I proudly and boldly proclaim His rule and reign in my life. I submit More
