It’s incredible that God found us to be worth so much to him personally, that he gave up his own life; dying for us, and then allowing us to be raised with him, so that we could be united with his life forever! God, who rules the heavens in all glory; who owns not only [...]

It’s interesting to see that when God came to earth in flesh and blood, he chose some spectacularly weak men to be his Apostles. Think about it for a moment, Jesus could have chosen anyone, and yet Jesus purposely chose a bunch of men who were weak and who greatly misunderstood the true purpose for [...]
What do we do when we find ourselves in restless times? You know, when you feel the temptation to just flick the switch on all emotions, turning them all off, both good and bad; shrinking back into numbness. When you just feel like either everything, or the lack of anything, is dragging you down.

In this life we all face disappointments. Some are larger than others; some break our bank accounts, others break our hearts. It is in these times we wish we could just transport ourselves to heaven and forget about the problems and burdens associated with this life, but it doesn’t seem to work all that often.

Sometimes we face moments, days or long periods of time where we just can’t seem to think clearly, or see straight. Sometimes, even when we are rested in Christ, we can feel a little lost; a little hopeless even.

When we study the scriptures it’s very interesting to find the Apostles’ starting point for their message was never with Adam. They didn’t start their letters or gospels talking about how Adam sinned and as a result we are all now sinners. They never followed the logic that if unbelievers can see the sin in [...]
Some believers say that yes God loves us, but He also loves us too much to leave us where we are, but personally, I think it’s the opposite.
I believe He loves us so much that he promises to leave us where we are… Because right now we are in His Son! Right now we are [...]
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man (Adam), and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. Romans 5:12
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and [...]
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.1 John 4:16
I woke up today thankful that I don’t have to rely on my faith in God, but rather I can rely on the love God has for [...]
