Jesus though the temple
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. – 1 Corinthians 15:58 Wishy washy…we all know what it looks like. Someone who doesn’t commit to what they believe […]
Go, go, go
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. – James 5:16 We often go, go, go. Our days are full of work, family and overall busyness. I strongly dislike telling someone how busy I am. […]
So Many Foolish
Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse. – Proverbs 2:12 If we were to take many of the main themes from the Bible, we could conclude wisdom is a very big theme woven throughout Scripture. Why is that? Wisdom gives us the ability to make choices […]
Things you need to sacrifice
Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. – Psalm 99:5 We all have things that get in the way of our daily lives. Not all of these are necessarily things that are bad, but can get in the way. Maybe it’s a TV show, a person we struggle to […]
Won because God was guiding
For the battle is not yours, but God’s, – 2 Chronicles 20:15c Can you imagine what it would be like to fight without God? Maybe you can’t or maybe you’ve tried. If you have tried, you have probably found out the hard way that it’s extremely difficult. It’s like trying to make a car work […]

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. – Matthew 6:33 We all like building. As a kid we had some sort of building set; either an erector set, Lincoln Logs or Legos. We were able to take simple parts and pieces and build […]
The truth is truth
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 As children, we are always told truth. It is ingrained at a young age to be honest and tell others what is actually happening. It starts to change when we become teenagers where we don’t tell the whole truth […]
Prayer is the connection
Pray Continually. – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 What fuels you? Is it work? Sports? Family? Friends? Coffee? We all have things that fuel us to get up in the morning. I am guessing most of us struggle from time to time. We likely find ourselves finding false fuel to help us. What would it look like […]
The things good leaders do
As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. – Joshua 24:15 One of the things good leaders do is figure out a plan and follow through on that plan. Most would call this determination or resolve. When we lack determination, we lack drive and we become lazy. Resolve gives us the ability […]
Being flaky and noncommittal
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this. – Psalm 37:5 As we have grown more accustomed to technology, we have also grown more accustomed to the ease of getting out of things things we have committed to. We can turn people down with a quick text or email. […]
