What Jesus did on the cross is the key to setting you free from captivity to sin.

Love is not self-serving but endures suffering for the sake of others.

There is nothing you can pay for your salvation. It's FREE!

What human lights are keeping you from seeing the TRUE LIGHT?

When the Lord steps on your toes, he's getting your heart's attention.

Open your ears to what God wants to teach you and then don't rebel against it.

What information are you receiving that influences your tongue?

Why is it we need human affirmation when God has promised to keep track and reward us for what we do?

Let's play follow the leader, but let's choose the right Leader>

Who gets the credit for the successes in your life? To whom do you turn when there is a problem?

Don't let lesser things take away the blessing of the first things.

Instead of focusing on the inconvenience of the storm, look for what God is producing by it.

It may not look like it, or it may not be the way we would do it, but God is getting it done!

God has promised to meet every need so that we can find joy and praise Him no matter what our circumstances.

God is doing new things, and He invites us to join Him.

Don't dry up in the wilderness of tradition. God's new things are refreshing.

Choose to let go of the past and let new things happen.

Here are three truths directly from the life of Jesus that will make you a better witness.

Are you experiencing God's best today, or are you waiting for someday?

We have a Savior who is the perfect balance of justice and mercy.

Does the murkiness of circumstances darken your view of the majesty of God?

What is interrupting the flow of Living Water into your life?

We may be bent and smoldering, but Jesus will restore us.

When life turns you upside down, where do you go to conquer your fear?

Maybe the world is thirsty because we have turned off the faucet.

Do you seek to enhance your own emotions or stature by what you do, or does God get all the credit?

Why wander around with turkeys when you can soar with eagles?

Does it really do any good? I think it does great harm to our witness for Jesus.
