“One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can’t change.” ~Anonymous
This quote might remind you of the famous “Serenity Prayer” which says: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”
Sometimes when you’re going through a difficult time in life, you need perspective. I needed to hear this, you might need it too. Try to remember: grapes must be crushed…
If you have been stressing out and worrying about some things in your life, that’s pretty common. I have as well. It comes and goes in seasons- worrying about kids, worrying about money, worrying about this or that. Well, instead of worrying about all the things that could go wrong, how about you and I decide to put our faith in God? One word from Him…
In this day and age of arguing online, it can be really challenging to control your responses to people who have drastically different views from your own. I will be the first to say, when someone disagrees with me…
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.
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…
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.
“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…”
“Think about some of the acronyms and abbreviations you use at your job. I know when I was in college, everything had an abbreviation or an acronym. ‘Hey, let’s meet…
“You have to wonder how many people really struggle with confidence. If I’m being honest with you, I do. Am I good enough for this job? Am I the best…
