A close friend told me today that they had never felt anxiety before in their life, until this past weekend. My heart broke for them.

Although we will never deserve God's goodness, he gives it. In times like this it's when I see God most.

When God makes a promise, he says, “I’ll do my part, and you do your part.” Four things our country needs to do.

I'd rather not face my wicked heart either, but y'all, I love you too much to not bring this up.

During the process of healing I learned that I was going to be refined that I would have to do the very hard work of transforming my mind.

Because encouragement is so important to the church, God doesn’t merely recommend it; he explicitly commands it.

God is the source of everything you need to live. He wants to lavish you with his provision.

A loving rebuke is not supposed to be like a gunshot, but like a flu shot. It may hurt, but the goal is to help the one you love get healthy

However, while Jesus performed many astounding miracles, he also participated in the most mundane.

Seeking God is the conscious fixing or focusing of our mind’s attention and our heart’s affection on God.

They say if you love something let it go, and if it comes back then it was meant to be yours. I say, love doesn't leave.

So in 13:4-7, Paul wasn't defining love, he was applying it to the Corinthians attitudes and behaviors.

Love is the highest form of maturity. It often requires a sacrificial gift.

Not only was my faith fading, the fruit of the spirit was too. I knew I had to abide in him again, so here's what I did.

So often we hear "Let Go and let God". It's a catchy christian phrase that requests something many of us resist. Surrender.

Our "faith-life" shows it's true colors when we are put under pressure.

It is important to understand that self-control is a work of the Holy Spirit, not a work of the individual.

Here’s to your best reading, writing and visualizing year ever!

The more He provided, the more I unplugged. The slow fade was unnoticeable at first.

There have been phases of my faith journey where I find myself overthinking all of it. I’m in one of those phases now.
