I once heard Tim Keller say that at the root of every sin is an identity issue. I haven’t found an exception. When I get upset and defensive toward my husband for not liking the less-than-average dinner I serve - it’s because I feel like a “bad wife”. When I become so worried about the …
A Prayer to Remember
God, guide me to cling to the truth You have given me in Your Word.
Our Eternally Faithful God
This God who made and kept the promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their many descendants is the same God who continues to fulfill His promises to us today.
Salvation.
It’s the Gospel, the Good News that we can have life in Christ. Not because we loved him enough or had enough faith or did enough good things. But rather because He is sufficient. He loved us, so he came down. Whether the circumstances of life are good or bad, I think we can all …
Who Jesus Is.
I mentioned in my last post that “The majority of people thought they were entirely good enough (for heaven) on their own.” This has been the most difficult thing about evangelism - apathy towards Jesus. Not a lot of people care. Hence, we have a problem - We live in a society that is so …
Who We Are.
Especially as we enter a new year, a lot of people are filled with hope for a fresh start. We want to better ourselves, to become the “best version” of us, to lean into our purpose and to find fulfillment. And I think one of the most practical ways for us to begin any of …

No word will fail.
Independent of our relationship with God, He Is. He is All-Sufficient, All-Knowing, All-Powerful. He is Most High, and he is Lord. And his word is true. He is truth. Not my truth, not your truth, not all our truths. He alone is truth. It has brought so much peace and stability lately to reflect on …
You said it.
It’s been an interesting season for me - spiritually, emotionally, relationally… interesting. I’ve taken a step back from a lot in efforts to stabilize a bit, and while I’m still not exactly sure what God’s teaching me, what I’ve sunk significantly deeper into is something that’s available to all believers: God’s truth - His Word, …
Hearing from God
I wonder if trusting in God is easier when a situation is far out of our control. When my heart is really troubled and I’m super upset, I run to God because there is nowhere else to go, because I have no idea what to do. But if my heart is only partially troubled, then …
