Time Change

No matter how hard we try

We can't change how much time we have.

Let's make the best of what remains

By living fully for Christ.

Fully Cognizant

How easy it is to leave the sanctuary on a Sunday morning and immediately slip back into our self-absorbed mode of thought and behavior. We seem to forget, often from the moment the last prayer ends, that we are not alone in this world and have a purpose, a destiny to fulfill in Christ. May all of us be more aware today and from now on of who we truly are in Him.

Inner Transformation

After Christ saves us He doesn't just leave us like we were. Instead, He sends his Spirit to transform us into his image. He breaks through the barriers we erect in order to fill us with his life-changing love and purpose. Aren't you glad?

What a Wonder

What a wonder it is that God loves us! No matter how messed-up we are, He still cares enough to come to us with comfort and healing when we turn to Him.

--Rush of Fools - Wonder of the World

Beating the System

There is a desire on the enemy's part to first crush us and then mold us into the warped and defeated image that suits him and this world the best. Yet if we hold fast to Christ and stand our ground we can beat the system set in place to conquer us.

--Petra - Beat the System

Some days we need as many as we can get.

Some days we need to give them, too.

Who We Are

Most of us have a healthy self-image, but is it healthy by the world's standards or in God's eyes? True understanding of who we are comes in understanding who we are in Christ, and that self-image is both humbling and invigorating. With Him we are something loved and treasured, but without Him, what are we really?


--Twila Paris - What Am I Without You

..

Desert Dwelling

As Christians we should long for a closer walk with God, a deeper relationship that plunges us, if need be, into a desert where we willingly surrender everything we hold dear to draw that much closer to Him.

--Twila Paris - Cry For The Desert
