Do you want to be happy?

“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;” Proverbs 3:13 We are to seek out wisdom, and when we find it, we will be happy.  God’s wisdom is not the world’s wisdom, “Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’ Job 28:28....

Do you feel unworthy?

Shame is a terrible feeling, a feeling of not being worthy. However, in Christ Jesus, we are worthy. Jesus took all shame on the cross to give us His glory.   “Instead of your shame you shall have double honor…” Isaiah 61:7 and Paul says in Romans 10:11, “Whoever believes onHim will not be put to shame.”

Have you been diagnosed with a disease?

If you have been diagnosed with a disease, it can be scary. And the doctors today immediately prescribe medicine. Themedicine typically manages the disease but does not heal it. We need to get to the root of the problem, not just chop the branches off. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the...

God is…

If I were to ask a group of people who is God to you, they would all give me a little bit of a different answer. God is faithful, love, my rearguard, my hope, etc.   However, there is one response we should all give if we have accepted Christ. God...
