Temptations
There is always this changing process going on inside of me. God is constantly changing my perspective, but the world wants to distract me and get me sidetracked from the best of what God has for me. 23 “‘This is what the Lord says:The wise person should not boast in his wisdom;the strong…

Fragile Jars of Clay
God’s Word is revelation of God’s awesomeness and a narrative of humanity’s unrelenting journey of brokenness and shame. When I started trying to understand shame, i found many examples in God’s Word of the many ways evil tries to shame us. When we read over these, think about your life…

the net.
When we think of a net, twenty years ago, we would have been thinking about a hair net or maybe a fishing net. In today’s world, we almost automatically think of the world wide web, or as we call it, the net. The internet. I came across an interesting verse…

finish what you start.
Have you ever started a project, perhaps home remodel, outdoor remodels, or a project in general that you can not seem to get finished. You started cleaning that garage out and all you seemed to really do is move stuff around, but you can not seem to get it finished?…
