Drawing near to God

There’s a striking loveliness in the truth that as we draw near, there’s always a nearer. As we lean in to listen, there’s yet more to hear. Oh, the glorious art of growing—drawing nearer to our God.

Living unhaunted

Nothing inspires getting rid of sin and growing in Christ more than recounting our salvation by reading His word. It inspires a faith that’s deeply rooted. Firm and strong. Altogether undaunted. And evermore unhaunted.

Listening as easy as pie

In every real way, I really am trying to learn to tune in better. Even without the pie chart. Or the pie. James 1:19 tells me that “Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak,” (HCSB). Boy oh boy, can I get those backwards.

Delight for the Takety-Take-Taking

A heart that trusts and follows after God is one that delights.

A-MAZE-ing Grace

A-MAZE-ing grace is a labyrinth of more. Grace for forgiveness, grace for living, grace for enduring—more. It always keeps on giving and growing and showing us more of Him. I cannot live without this grace on grace. The “one more thing,” deep, beautiful gift of grace.

New life – sans baggage

It’s not that we never sin again after we give our lives to Christ. It’s that sin has lost its ability to bully us. We experience new freedom—we can truly live in freedom.

Picture perfect Christmas

Celebrating Jesus, focusing every aspect of our day, our list, our season on Him, cures the crangsts. Let Him fill you with the joy He intends for you as you celebrate Him.

Turn over the work attitude

"How can we blanket the work we do with a good attitude?"

Merry-go-roundabout

Twists and turns will always be part of life living in a world that suffers the effects of sin. But everything changes as we trust the Lord with everything we’ve got, making our life passion all about knowing Him more and better and bigger.

Banking on the Bible

Our wealth is only in Jesus and only because of Jesus – all glory to Him. I’m telling you, I want to be diligent about hanging onto that truth.

Words that stick like glue

When people are working really hard to make a solid argument on an issue they’re passionate about, it’s easy to get frustrated. I still advise against trying to turn the argument around with “I’m rubber and you’re glue.”

Dispense with anti-trust flaws

"Father, may every expression on my face be one that reveals a consistent, faithful, trust – trust that encourages others to trust You too."
