God’s Love
We live in God’s love through faith in Jesus. Therefore understanding faith in Jesus helps us to understand God’s love for us.
Faith in Jesus
When Paul explained faith in Jesus, he spoke about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment.

Are we born to die?
The saddest fact about being human is one day we will die. But did you know this was not God’s original intent for mankind? God designed us to live forever. We have eternity living in our hearts. So why do we die?
The Initiation Act
The Initiation Act of Joseph’s journey begins when he is sold to the Midianite traders and then sold to Potiphar, Pharoah’s officer. That space between the spoken promise and the realized promise is the season of preparation. It is painful, and it has a cost. Understand that God has not directly caused this pain. Pain can be the result of sin, whether our own or others’ sins against us. Or pain is simply indicating that healing is needed. God is the one who heals you from it. Do not fear Him as One who will cause you pain, for He will not. However, He will ask you to confront that pain when the time is right.
Do Not Fear: A Prophetic Word for Now
There is evil in every aspect of our culture, and God is about to root it all out. He wants us to focus on His goodness during this time, and not on the awful things that will be revealed. The whole world is about to know that there is a God, and He is JUST and GOOD. He is setting things right, He is healing the hurting and broken, and He is fulfilling His promises. This is NOT the end, as some have been saying, it is the beginning. Be ready and DO NOT FEAR.
Why LUST or SEX isn’t LOVE
The issue of lust is rarely dealt with frankly. I am like everyone else learning how to overcome sin myself; this is my attempt to expose lust—to bring it into the light so we can get a clear shot at it and kill it. As one who’s found himself starting on the “downward path to death” (Proverbs 5:5), this is a warning for others on that path to turn back.
Out of Darkness
We are bombarded with information and images that suggest we are drowning in darkness, but Jesus died and was resurrected to bring us into God’s Kingdom of light.
He Broke Every Chain!
I could never get away from the pull towards living life fully surrendered to the God I had met in childhood. I still knew Him, kind of. At least I thought maybe I did. (Spoiler alert: He knew me the whole time. He created me, after all) He knew how I needed to see Him working. I just didn’t know it yet.
Dancing with Mary Jane
You say pot opens up your mind? So did the fruit that Adam bit into. We’ve been paying for that one ever since. So in your worldly views, I have no reason to tell you that pot is bad. For me, I just know that Jesus doesn’t like it.
Why You Shouldn’t Get a Tattoo
Let not no one condemn you for having a tattoo. However, I want to encourage to not get another one or not to get your first one. When Jesus says he wants to write his name on you, he means he wants to reflect God’s glory through you instead of you attempting to reflect your own glory. Tattoos are popular because they provide a means for people to reflect their own glory instead of God’s glory. But that’s not you. So why participate in something that doesn’t reflect your true heart for God?
Lord I believe, help my unbelief!
We are tempted to take the destruction of people around us as evidence that a shared calamity must also destroy us. If we are just like them, we must be destroyed just like them. In embracing this perspective, we let down our shield of truth and open the door to doubt and work against God’s protection from evil.
