I have felt so strongly this word from God, “don’t lose faith!” that I wanted to write a part 2 of that word. I think a lot of what hinders our faith is our ability to see fully what God is up to in any season of our lives. If He is not actively bringing…
Don’t Lose Faith!
This year has been a weary year, hasn’t it? And I don’t say it out of defeat, I say it out of the awareness of the refining season God is putting us through. But one belief I hold onto is that God has a purpose for it all and that there are bigger and better things coming…
It’s on the Altar
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”“Here…

And yes, I did include just one verse—probably from one of the most…
How Are You Building?
One day King Joash said to the priests, “Collect all the money brought as a sacred offering to the Lord’s Temple, whether it is a regular assessment, a payment of vows, or a voluntary gift. Let the priests take some of that money to pay for whatever repairs are needed at the Temple.” But by…

David’s Psalms
I actually was never the greatest at the Psalms (the 19th book of the bible, depending on who's version you read). When I first them them through in their entirety, it didn't seem to enlighten me any further. That could be said the same for the second time I read them through. Now, in my…
