Stand Tall

When you feel God nudging you to do something, don’t ignore it. When you see a problem or hear of trouble and you don’t know how to fix it, ask God to help you find a way. . .
Share Your Faith

When God Brings Someone to Mind
When God brings someone to mind, pray! You have no idea what battle they are facing, but you can be sure they are facing one whether they know it or not. . .
Concentrate on Him
So many things try to snatch our attention from the Lord. They could be worthwhile or necessary, but if they aren’t what God wants us to focus on, we need to ignore them. . .
Going Our Own Way
The Lord yearns to direct each of our hearts so we understand the patient, enduring love of Christ. Why would anyone resist? It makes no sense, yet we’re all guilty of going our own way sometimes. . .
Obedience
All God expects is obedience, and His rules are simple. He knows we will break His commandments, so He only asks that we love and trust Jesus. . .
We Will Fail
The hard truth is that we will fail at some point. But the wonderful assurance is that Jesus forgives us and doesn’t hold those moments against us. . .
