Did you know that there are people, perhaps many people, who call good evil and evil good (Is. 5:20)? How does that happen?

Power of Partnership
You’ve heard it before: there is strength in numbers. But implicit in that statement is that these numbers work together for mutual advantage. At minimum, there has to be agreement among them; otherwise, they cannot walk together (Amos 3:3). Ideally, an amiable relationship would make their strength even greater. The stronger the relationship, the greater the things…

Aggressive Rest
It’s normal, especially in today’s culture, to strive for everything. But how much striving would you do if you knew God was on your side? I used to get in there and strive for what I wanted. But now I know my battle is the Lord’s battle, so I can sit back and rest. It…

How David Got His Heart Back
You may not be able to relate to this, but one of the things I’ve struggled with for years is becoming overwhelmed with a certain thing and then just shutting down. In my mind, the scope of it would be just too much to deal with in the moment, so I’d opt to put it…

Are You a Steward or an Owner
I wrote a blog article earlier this year called Token of My Trust. It’s about being a steward of the finances God gives us. I read through the article again to remind myself that my money isn’t really my money. That might sound crazy. But forgetting that I’m a steward and not an owner of…

Let’s Talk about Thankfulness
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: [2] For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. 2 Timothy 3:1-2, New King James Version What’s the reason people are so unthankful in the last days?

Bold Not Cold
Something Andrew said this morning on the Gospel Truth really hit home with me: You’re always going to turn out better if you stand on your convictions rather than compromise. Lately, I’ve found myself in situations with people who—just like Andrew describes—are people who “don’t let the Bible get in the way of what they…
