You Have Never Spoken A Word That Belongs To You
When you speak, remember who gave you the ability and who owns every word you say. You have never spoken a word that belongs to you. God who gave you words is the same God who now gives you the grace to say them as He intended. Today, I am reminded that words are not […]
Love Doesn’t Sweep Things Under The Rug
Reconciliation is more important than religious observance because the heart of the Christian faith is to follow Jesus’ example, which means to walk in love—to treat each other mercifully and with kindness. Love doesn’t sweep strife under the carpet; it shines a light. It exposes and brings healing through reconciliation! Love invites us to address […]
Your Tongue Is Powerful
Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (ESV) – talk about a bold statement! The Proverbs claim that there’s no neutrality in your speech; you’re either building someone up (towards life) or tearing someone down (towards death). Talk, according to the Bible, is not cheap at all. James writes […]
Your Tongue Doesn’t Have Ears
When you speak, your ears pick up the vibrations of sound waves, and your brain comprehends that vocabulary. However, most of the time, we aren’t “listening” to what we say. In other words, you’re not interpreting your words in the same way that the hearer is interpreting them. Our words cause much pain and hurt […]
Peace Within-Peace Between- Peace Beyond
Our lack of peace with one another is not an isolated issue. It is a symptom of a deeper problem: a lack of peace within ourselves and, ultimately, a lack of peace with God. These three aspects of peace are interconnected. This lack of peace results in broken souls, hearts, minds, bodies, relationships, and trust […]
When God Pursues You
God’s loyal and loving pursuit will hunt you down with intensity, fervor, and zeal until the target (YOU!) is overtaken. You, as the focus of God’s relentless pursuit, are valued and significant in His loving sight. When you need comfort, His love pursues you. When you need soul rest, His love pursues you. When you […]
Beautiful- Amazing- Messy…
Rooted in the story of redemption is a principle we must not miss: God uses ordinary, messy people to accomplish His extraordinary, divine mission on earth. Like you, it’s beautiful, unique, and messy!
The Missing Dimension: Unbroken
Once again, I find myself overwhelmed by the power of God’s grace and boundless love. My prayer for leaders today is that you may experience this love and grace in a profound way, allowing it to bring a new dawn to your leadership journey and envelop you in His care. Leadership is broken because we […]
My Hardest Critic, ME!
My Hardest Critic, ME! Some may only see us through the lens of our failures and weaknesses. Often, our harshest critic is the reflection in the mirror. But God sees us through the lens of the Cross. In Him, we are liberated from our limitations and shortcomings. “Forget that I sowed wild oats; Mark me […]
The Depth and Width of Your Calling…
The level of your adversity is not a hindrance but rather a crucial element tied to the level of your call. The depth and width of your faith experiences are directly proportional to your calling. A “faith experience” is a deeply personal and profound ‘spiritual marker’ in your life, a moment where you can say, […]
