Ambition
Ambition is not a concept we often associate with the life of a believer. If we do, it’s almost always spoken of in a negative light. When we think of ambition, we may think of a self-seeking career chaser with no concern for kingdom things or spiritual growth. We look at the world’s definition and…

The First Year
Taking a week off from the disciples series…tune in next week to read about Matthew! Well, here it is. Post #52. An entire year has passed since I wrote “Good Pressure”—a year that has left me overwhelmed at the unceasing goodness of God. As I think back on the past 51 posts, I’d like to…

Unbreakable Bond
Over the past year, the Lord has taught me so much about the fulfillment and spiritual strength that Godly relationships can supply. Through His perfectly loving plan, He has intentionally brought many amazing people into my life that have shown me how the bond between believers is one which surpasses all differences. I am so…

Fearfully & Wonderfully
Every single thing God has ever created has a purpose. As John 1:3 says, “All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” Nothing exists without God and nothing has any greater reason for existing than to bring Him glory.

In Mark 14, Jesus shares one last meal with His disciples before one of them betrays Him. Peter fervently assures Jesus that he will never fall away, that he will never deny Him—even if it means death. But the Lord tells him in verse 30, “‘This very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself…

Complacency
“As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God?” Psalm 42:1-2 Living things grow. From the moment our life begins as a microscopic organism until we breathe our last on this…

Son of Encouragement
Acts 4:36-37 says, “Now Joseph, a Levite of Cyprian birth, who was also called Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of Encouragement), and who owned a tract of land, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.” This is the Bible’s first reference to the man who would…
