What Are You Holding Back?

What does it mean to give it all to God, to obey all he asks you to do? There may be things we are not aware of that we place above God. In Genesis 22, Abraham is tested to see if he placed above God one thing he holds near and dear to his heart. […]

The Eternal Anchor

There are many things in this life we can hold onto for security. Yet when the storms of life hit us with stress and trauma, it has a way of sifting out what has lasting surety. The things of this world are no match to the eternal presence of God in our life. He is […]

Yeah, But What If?

Like Moses, God created you for a purpose. He placed you at this moment in history for a reason. Seek Him and trust His plan for your life.

The Insignificant Significant Details

Witnessing Without a Word

He knew there was something different about the young man. Every task he gave him was done with integrity. It seemed all he touched was successful. This man was different from all his other servants. Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and how the LORD caused all that he did to […]
