Faith is intended to give us the wisdom and power to walk through life's hardest times, not just to get rid of those times. Hard times are the canvas upon which God paints a life purpose of victory.God's purpose for life's trials can bring us into our finest hour. But we need to learn to let Him make us before He will send us. The trial is never about the trial. By faith we learn to find something worth dying for, and then we will have found something worth living for.

Defined By Faith, Not Feelings
Saturday Feb 08, 2025
Saturday Feb 08, 2025
America has descended into a feelings-based identity and morality, and it’s altering our faith. Feelings aren’t the foundation of faith, God’s word is. Feelings aren’t a sound indicator of a person’s standing with God, faith is. Don’t use your feelings to tell God what you believe. Living by the Spirit does not mean living by emotions; it means honesty, faith, and surrender.

Called To Live In Impossible Places
Wednesday Feb 05, 2025
Wednesday Feb 05, 2025
I’ve been threatened by gangs several times while out on the road, both in the states and abroad. I know what it’s like to be homeless for Christ and also, to fail Him. I’ve proved that I can do all things through Christ. He will never leave me or forsake me; and when I’m with Him, nothing is impossible.

Your Great Influencer When Life Gets Heavy

Saturday Feb 01, 2025
What I believe in is what I will be influenced by. My circumstances don't have to change for me to be happy! I can be in a prison, hospice, or a dead-end job and still have the peace of God. Neither my guilt, my fear, nor my pain will tell me what to believe when Christ is my great influencer. In Him I’m safe.

Freedom From Above Looks Like This
Wednesday Jan 29, 2025
Wednesday Jan 29, 2025
- More influenced by the Word than the world; it loves my enemies because I no longer need anything from them - not doing so is a symptom of slavery to injustice. How? Have more faith in God’s grace than in your own sin. Don’t let the consequences of your sin become bigger than the consequences of the cross. Giving doesn’t come from a full storehouse but from a full heart.

If I need to feel happy to do the right thing, then sadness can lead me to do wrong. Emotions shouldn’t be the rudder that steers my ‘ship.’ Let faith lead he way to the joy of heaven that no man can take. Even if the Sun would cease to shine, it would not mean that God's word is no longer true.

Never Again Controlled By Emotions
Wednesday Jan 22, 2025
Wednesday Jan 22, 2025
Faith that never fails is faith that won’t let our feelings tell us what to believe. Anxiety doesn’t mean we’ve lost our peace with God. Don’t ever let your feelings determine your thoughts. The Bible never said, “By grace you are saved through feelings.” Feelings don’t change the truth. God’s still with you.

Giving and Receiving Tough Love

Saturday Jan 18, 2025
Love that doesn’t discriminate reveals a heart living in liberty. A hard life doesn’t keep us from loving the unlovely (politician), it's our own heart trouble. When God’s gives you tough love, don’t trust more in your failures as a sign of defeat than you trust in Jesus's success as a sign of your victory.

No Longer ‘Less Than
Wednesday Jan 15, 2025
Wednesday Jan 15, 2025
Without the inner peace that the cross of Christ affords, our life will never be what it’s created to be. Our standing before God both today and forever is one hundred percent the work of Christ alone! When Jesus died for your sin, you died. When He arose, His life became yours. Repent and identify with Him.

Do you realize that God chose you before the world began? He made you to be accepted in Christ as one who will be blameless before His throne. By grace alone God chose His elect to receive the glory of Jesus. Why did He choose you? The glory of His grace is far beyond man’s wisdom and works.

Help, My Faith Just Failed Again

Wednesday Jan 08, 2025
Faith is refined in times of testing. God wants faith in action, not just in words. But when I’ve failed, God won’t fail me. James says that I’m to rejoice in the test, not just when I’ve passed it! Always be honest, for grace and mercy only come in the courtroom of full disclosure. Here’s where faith is perfected.
