Have you ever stopped to think about what makes God so worthy of worship? It’s an honest question that can make a difference in your faith. You see, you can’t truly worship God if you don’t know why He is worthy. In fact, the word worship comes from an old English word that basically means […]
Remember the famous line in the Mission Impossible series? “Your mission, should you choose to accept it…” We have to accept our mission when God offers it to us. It is no one’s choice but ours. Whether that mission is a short-term adventure or a long-term journey, we have to embrace it and not fight […]
If you are a hyper-driven achiever, you’ll always chase opportunity. You will always want to be, do, and have more. This is a great thing, but if not checked, can lead to burnout. Just because something could be done doesn’t mean it should be done. Opportunity does not mean obligation. Simply having an opportunity presented […]
Luke 17:5 (NLV) The followers said to the Lord, “Give us more faith.” It’s appropriate to ask for more faith. In fact, we need to ask for more faith. The ancient statement from the Apostle James will stand true for all time:, “Ye have not, because ye ask not.” God pours out an extra measure […]
Isaiah 60:1 (NIV) “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” What a great promise Isaiah spoke to the Israelites of long ago. This truth still holds true for us today. The light has come to you and me and He illuminates our path. He guides us along […]

Never say never. A great phrase that is more spiritual than we think. Remember, we serve the God of the impossible. The God that has complete power and authority to do anything and everything. Imagine if we actually lived in the faith and peace that God can make things happen of out of nothing. Imagine […]
Prayer builds our faith and effects change in others’ lives. Jesus is our model for prayer. He separated Himself for times of prayer and intercession. Even now, He intercedes for us in Heaven. Romans 8:34b (NIV) Christ Jesus who died–more than that, who was raised to life — is at the right hand of God […]
I heard a great story about a group of frogs who were hopping peacefully through the woods, going about their froggy business, when two of them fell into a deep pit. All of the other frogs gathered around the pit to see what could be done to help their companions. When they saw how deep […]
We overestimate what we don’t have and underestimate what we do have. It’s a scarcity mindset that hijacks our success. Most people are chasing what they don’t have, but in doing so, they fail to utilize what they do have. We tend to always live with a “the grass is greener on the other side” […]
