“Then David GOT UP from the ground.” (2 Sam 12:20)
No goose-pumps. No prophesy. No warm feelings. He simply got up. I think everything David was dealing with was saying stay down. When he realized the child was dead. He got up from the ground! What he did next was critically important, “After he had washed, put on lotions and changed his clothes, he went […]
Pack Your Bag, You’re Going on a Guilt Trip
Guilt often has a way of restraining and redirecting us. Guilt can become a burden too heavy to carry. It can suck the joy out of life. Unresolved and unnecessary guilt can trap us in a prison of despair. I’ve seen people hurt themselves and others by failing to deal constructively with guilt in a […]
Freedom Without Virtue Is Permission To Do Evil
Freedom is one of the most misunderstood and abused concepts in America, which is ironic since you’d normally expect our most cherished principle to at least be one we understand properly. See, freedom is usually thought of as being fundamentally valuable, which means that the purpose of having freedom is to have freedom. Unfortunately, this […]
If There Is No Fear, There Is No Courage
People often mistakenly think that courage is the absence of fear, when in fact courage is precisely the virtue of doing something, you are afraid of. If there is no fear, there can be no courage. Confusion about opposites is the source of many problems in life because we end up fighting the wrong things. […]

Grace In The Moment
Describing Jesus’ response to His accusers holds me in line and directs my prayers to Him who is sovereign over every circumstance and blessing. “When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.” (1 Peter 2:23) Grace […]
Just One Touch Can Change Everything
There are times in life when we become afraid, and our lives seem to fall out from beneath us. We crumble underneath the load, weight, fear, strain of finances, job, faith, and the list goes on. We all need that reassuring touch from God. We need to hear the words “Don’t be afraid,” followed by […]
He Meets You With Strength In Moments of Weakness
We tend to be captivated and controlled by whatever we think will give us life. We continually make the profound mistake of looking horizontally for what can only be found vertically: The Earth Will Never Be Our Savior– But be of good cheer. The Creator of the heavens and earth is also your “I am […]
Condemnation After Time Served
This is weighing heavy on my heart this morning. If you are carrying condemnation from the past, you are in my heart today. You are in His heart today. God wants to set you free from it all. You’ve done your time. You made things right, don’t allow the enemy or his minions to beat […]
