Embracing the Changing Seasons of Life

When I first became a Christian I felt very close to the Lord and everything was going really well.  However, after some time passed, I began to feel distant from God and feared that some sin may be hindering me from experiencing His presence.  At this time in my life, I didn’t realize that all of my sins had already been forgiven, and that the work of forgiveness was completely...

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.  1 Peter 5:7

Recently, I saw this verse is a different way than I have seen it before.  I was struggling with some anxiety over the future and the Lord comforted me by saying, “Now isn’t the time to know the answers to the things you’ve been asking.  Now is the time to just rest in Me.”  When He said this, I could sen...

A Few Thoughts on Sanctification

Recently, I found a very interesting passage that teaches finished sanctification.  In other words, it teaches that Christians are completely sanctified because of the finished work of the cross and our new identity in Christ.

Recently I received this question, “I'm looking up the definition of sin in Greek and it means an offense, or to miss the mark. What do you think our offense as humans is, and how do we miss the mark before we are saved?”

I want to spend some time answering this question because a lot can be learned from this subject.  For starters, I think it's hard to understand mankind’s sin to...

Does God Enjoy Loving You?

Does God enjoy loving you?  Take a minute and really think about this question.  Almost everyone “knows” that God loves them, but do you actually believe that He loves you because He has to or because He enjoys it?  Does He love you, but not really like you?  Is it like a parent who technically loves their rebellious child but really doesn’t enjoy being around them.  Deep in your...

Faith: Seeing the Unseen

In Hebrews 11:1 it says that faith is the conviction of things not seen.  I used to think that meant we believe for things that God has promised us that don't yet exist.  For example, someone may believe they will be healed of a sickness even though that hasn't yet happened.  However, I now believe it means that faith allows you to see the unseen, which is the true reality.  By f...
