My wife and I were just talking about this the other day. I remember having three little ones, a nine year old, five year old and a newborn at one point, thinking this is so incredibly hard. I’m looking forward to the days when…

Today’s a great day to live by faith and not by sight. Sometimes what you see isn’t really the whole story. Faith will fill in all the gaps. I was spending time in the Bible this morning in the book of Luke, and Jesus was talking to the disciples about faith. It got me thinking about how…
To say that there is a lot going on in the world right now, in your personal life, and all over America is truly an understatement. Here’s what I’d love for you to consider- the truest test of your relationship with Jesus is when you don’t understand anything at all, and you still trust him fully.
Have you ever felt like it’s impossible to find hope in this crazy world? That’s because it is…at least without God. You can search the world over, and try finding peace and hope in all sorts of places, but true lasting hope can only be found by trusting in God’s goodness and what He’s done for us.
I was just pondering something…you know, sometimes when we pray for something we get the answer quickly, but sometimes we have to wait and wait and wait. And I don’t know about you, but patience is not exactly my strong suit. It’s not a very pleasant thing to wait, is it? But you know what? That waiting is all part of God’s process.
What do you think of first when you hear the word “worship”? Do you think of worship music? Or a worship service? If so, I want to encourage you to think a little deeper about the meaning of true worship. Jesus points out in Matthew 15.8-9…
Kindness, gentleness, meekness, self control…it’s important for us to reflect the Kingdom. So today I’m going to drop some acts of kindness ideas for you to think about.
Hey there! CJ McKay here. Have you ever been believing God for something and you feel like man, I’ve been believing for so long and it hasn’t happened. I don’t know if I have any more faith left to believe. Keep in mind these words from Joseph Prince: he says that the faith walk isn’t hard, it’s easy and effortless. When your faith runs out, just judge God faithful. When you don’t know how to have faith anymore, reckon on his faithfulness. Don’t give up because you think you don’t have enough faith. Once God gives you a promise, it’s not up to you to conjure up faith. It’s for you to rest in the One who promised that He is faithful.
Here’s another edition of “Well, Since You Said It That Way, It Makes a Lot of Sense” hosted by me, Todd Stach. Okay…it’s really not a game show, but consider this: you relax on a plane, even though you don’t know the pilot, you relax on a cruise ship, even though you don’t know the captain, you relax on a bus, even though you don’t know the driver. So why don’t you relax in life, knowing that God is in control? If you know him, there should be some peace there. I get it. It’s hard, but those analogies make so much sense to me now.
A wise young lady was recently sharing that what’s on the inside of us will come out…just like a sponge when it’s squeezed. So, the question is what are we producing or focused on on the inside so something good- something godly- comes out? Check out Matthew 12.34.” ~Joy
“Laying your burdens at Jesus’ feet is about trust, prayer, and renewing your mind. Worry is part of the human experience that stems from fear and is aggravated by our increasing desire to control every part of our lives…”
