Bearing the Light in the Darkness
For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Ephesians 5:8-9, NLT The world has been filled with things that are not of God for thousands and thousands of years.…

Consider your words
Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragment to those who hear them. Ephesians 4:29, NLT It had been going on for days. Constant bickering. Name-calling. Arguing. The two had been fighting like toddlers. “She hit me.” “Well, he was making…

You Belong with Him
What is our deepest desire? For many of us, what is we want the most? Think about it. Really think about it. When we go into a new space. Whether a new job, a new school, a new group, a new place. When we are among new people, or people we have known for a…

It’s Time to Break-up…
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.

His Love Letter
This is how we’ve come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves. If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn…

We Give Because He Gave All
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person? 1 John 3:17 I have the opportunity each month to mentor a few teen girls. While it is part of my role as a mental health provider to also…

Proving You Are His
“Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:35 I want you to imagine the following scenario: You are in line at a local store. Let’s say you are in the return line, because we know those lines can be long. Nerve-wracking at times. You have a…

Everything Happens For a Reason
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28 “Everything happens for a reason.” That phrase at times irritates me. Maybe because it seems to be thrown out as a response to people who are…

Hospitality: It’s More than Just Good Food
Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it. Hebrews 13:1-2 When you think of hospitality, of what do you think? We often think of the “hospitality industry.” Restaurants, hotels, caterers, travel agents, businesses that offer…
