Admitting Weakness

Have you ever felt like you were in something over your head and not sure about what you were doing? How we respond to those situations can make a big difference in the outcome. You can ask for help from someone who is much more knowledgeable about what you’re facing or you can try to […]

Does God Believe in You?

There are those who say God does not exist, but that doesn’t mean he ceases to exist. God continues to reign whether people deny Him or not. He remains as the creator of the world, the creator of you and me. No matter how elaborate the scheme to deny that there is no God; no […]

It’s a difficult thing to trust someone, particularly if it’s something that is important to you. Yet it is a powerful thing when we can trust someone with our life. That level of trust says a lot about what we think of that person. Proverbs 3:5 tells us to “Trust in the LORD with all […]

Struggling for Purpose

Isaiah expressed this sentiment: “But I said, ‘I have toiled in vain, I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity (Isaiah […]
