Faith and Doubt: Trusting God When We Cannot See Everything

Faith does not mean we have every answer. Faith means we place our hearts in God’s hands, even when the road ahead is not clear. We are human, so our understanding is limited. We see one page at a time, but God sees the whole story. That is why we can rest in Him, even when life feels uncertain.  Faith…

Following Jesus vs. Political Leaders: A Heart Commitment

And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” — Luke 9:23  There is a big difference between following Christ and following a political leader or a political party. Political leaders can change. Parties can change. Their promises, plans, and opinions may shift…

Call to Me: Receiving the Unsearchable Things of God

One of my favorite scriptures is Jeremiah 33:3: “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” This verse is simple, but it is full of life. God is not hiding from us. He is inviting us to come close, to call on Him, and to listen for His answer.…

When the Foundations Are Crumbling, What Can the Righteous Do? Part 2

Psalm 11:3 asks a question many of us have felt in our hearts: “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” In simple words, it means: What do we do when the things we counted on begin to fall apart?

When the Foundations Are Crumbling, What Can the Righteous Do?

Psalm 11:3 asks a serious question: “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” In simple words, it means: When the things that hold life together are falling apart, what should God’s people do? The “foundations” are the basic things that support a life, a family, a church, a nation, and a society. These include truth, justice, righteousness,…

Forget What Is Behind and Keep Moving Forward in Faith

“Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,  I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 3:13-14) There are times in life when looking back can slow us down. We remember old mistakes, missed…

Scripture: “Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” — Galatians 5:16  To “walk in the Spirit” simply means to live each day with God leading your thoughts, choices, words, and actions.

The Father’s Heart of Love

When I think about the heart of the Father, I do not picture someone far away, cold, or hard to reach. I picture a Father who comes close. A Father who sees us, knows us, and still loves us deeply. The Bible tells us, “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who…

When Religion Stops Looking Like Jesus

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”(James 1:27) Religion is supposed to help us grow closer to God and closer to one another. At its best, faith teaches us to be humble, kind, forgiving, generous, and loving. It…
