Seek me with all your heart
It’s a heart matter to God I want to preface this by saying that God IS interested in your actions. All the good intentions in the world will do no good if they are not acted upon. But God wants those actions to flow freely out of your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me …
Relationship vs Religion
I’d like to share some scripture verses that I believe have been misunderstood and misinterpreted by religion and leads many to come to the wrong conclusion about God’s sovereignty and how we are to relate to Him. James 4:6-7 “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the …
Slothful Christianity
You can’t begin to talk about what it means to live a slothful Christian life until you understand what the purpose of Christianity is.

A Garden-like Relationship
What kind of relationship did Adam and Eve have with God? Everything was perfect, and so were they. The Bible tells us they (and all of mankind) were made in the image and likeness of God. They also had a free will. So whether they stayed in that perfect state (united to God) was up …
Have you seen God?
People have all kinds of ideas of what God is like. Most make their assumptions from personal experience or what religion tells them. But what many fail to realize is that Jesus came to show us God. Jesus IS God in the flesh, manifested to show humanity the nature and character of God. John 14:7 …
Victory Victory Victory!
Because of Jesus, WE have victory! Nothing in ourselves could produce it. Not our behavior, sincerity or desire. God Himself redeemed us by the blood of His son (making us righteous), and nothing we can do ourselves can produce victory in our lives outside of Jesus! But thank God, He has overcome! Those that put …
Perfect Peace
As Christians, it should be no surprise that there is a direct link between our peace and the time we spend with the Lord. Isaiah 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you. Many people have heard this verse, but how much confidence do we personally …
