I recently read Acts chapter 3 during my devotions and saw the lame man differently. If you are familiar with this story, the man was lame from birth. Later, we read that he was over 40 years old (Acts 4:22). Can you imagine being 40 years old and never standing or walking on your own?… Continue reading The Lame Man

When You Are Not Grounded
John 18:38-39 says, “Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I… Continue reading When You Are Not Grounded
Relying on Jesus
In Luke chapter 5, we see Jesus teaching from the edge of Lake Gennesaret. There were fishermen on the shore washing their nets, which meant they were done fishing. The nets were heavy and large, so cleaning them took a lot of work. He got into Simon’s ship and told him to thrust out a… Continue reading Relying on Jesus
Finances in 2024
It seems that every other social media post is related to finances. Most people are just trying to make ends meet. There seems to be more month than money. Groceries and gas keep increasing. Second jobs and side hustles are becoming the norm. I get it. I want to challenge you to look at your… Continue reading Finances in 2024
Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry
I have been reading through the Old Testament for about a year now. The recurring theme is man’s sin, God’s grace, and redemption. Yes, there are lots of warnings and judgments, too, but we constantly see the Israelites straying from God. Their sin was idolatry. We all worship something. Idolatry started back in the Garden… Continue reading Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry
One Word to Describe You
Often, after you meet someone, they remember you with a word or two. Maybe you were kind, quiet, helpful, or respectful. It could also be the opposite: that you were harsh, rude, loud, and disrespectful. I work part-time in customer service, so my interactions with people usually last around 30 minutes, and we may never… Continue reading One Word to Describe You
Is God Against Happiness?
We’ve all heard the saying “God wants you to be holy, not happy.” I’m sure I’ve even said it myself. God does want us to be holy, set apart, etc. Our lives are to be a living sacrifice and a testimony of His goodness. There will be times in our lives, in the center of… Continue reading Is God Against Happiness?
But I’m an Adult!
How often have you said or thought, “But I’m an adult!” How often have you heard someone else say it? Usually, this comes from those who are 18-20 or someone who has been told they cannot or should not do something. Those in the first group try to prove their adulthood, maturity, responsibility, and respectability… Continue reading But I’m an Adult!
Submitting to Your Husband
I will be honest: I don’t know why God keeps putting this on my heart other than simply because someone needs it. Submission is not always easy; society will not encourage this, but it is biblical, and we need it. If you have been in church or Christian circles long, you have heard a message… Continue reading Submitting to Your Husband
Tips for Finding a Church
Church attendance has become highly debated in our present culture. I feel like in past generations, it was more of a take-it-or-leave-it subject, while everyone acknowledged its importance to a degree. Previously, if you asked an out-of-church Christian where they went to church, they would say where they used to go and admit they needed… Continue reading Tips for Finding a Church
