Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27 I feel... Continue Reading →
Be Persistent
I feel like stepping out successfully for God requires that we persistently seek Him. The three areas that I see we need to persistent seek Him in are 1) His presence 2) His Word 3) Prayer.

God’s Glory
Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it!... Continue Reading →
Service to our brothers
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 1 John 3:16 Our lives are supposed to be spent in service to our brothers, even unto death. Not just our physical siblings but those connected to us through relationship in Christ. I... Continue Reading →
