Know Your Enemy
Whether it is widely acknowledged & accepted or not, the fact is, we are engaged in spiritual warfare on a daily basis. We are not fighting for the victory that Christ already won for us, but we are to enforce His victory through faith in the finished work of the cross. In order to fight the good fight of faith, we must know the nature of our enemy so we can resist him, and lay hold of all that God has promised us!
Abiding in the True Vine
"Abiding doesn’t measure how much you know about your faith or your Bible. In abiding you seek, long for, thirst for, wait for, see, know, love, hear, and respond to … a person. More abiding means more of God in your life, more of Him in your activities, thoughts, and...
Motives of the Heart

Have you ever thought about how hard it can be to find your way out of a maze when you are walking around inside of it, and on the flip side, how easy that same task can become when you have an aerial view? Why? What has changed? Perspective.
The Story of Your Heart
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 3:2 that we are living epistles, known and read by all men - living letters that tell the story of what has been written in our hearts. As you live life, your thoughts, words, and actions are writing a letter that men around you are...
Confidence in Christ
Shame and condemnation are confidence killers, yet we allow them to rob us of the joy and peace that belong to us in Christ. Like a thief in the night, this tag team steals away our confidence on a daily basis with insidious little seeds of wrong thinking that, if...
When Children Won’t Listen
So, my son has recently learned a new word, and what's so interesting is that I believe he learned it from a Bible App that's made for little ones. The app is interactive, and it tells the story of creation, the fall, the birth of Christ, and a few other major story...
For Kids Who Don’t Like Vegetables
So, being that I am a health conscious person, and I appreciate the beauty of what raw fruits and vegetables do for the body, I have been really trying to get my toddler to eat his veggies (and not just corn). The only problem has been that he will usually begin to...
Get More Done in Less Time
Get More Done in Less Time ...and be happy while you are getting stuff done! If you are like me, and you are a mom with a lot to do (and what mom doesn't have a lot to do?) - then you are probably as interested as I am in getting more done in less time. For the past...
