With God, it doesn't have to make sense for us to trust Him.

An invitation has been sent to you. How will you respond?

Be encouraged by all the promises that are fulfilled for us in Christ Jesus.

How can we truly pray for someone if we don't identify with them and with God's heart for them?

The guilty can never declare themself to be innocent. Only the Innocent Savior can.

Does the world observe in me the same attitude of Jesus when confronted with false accusations and suffering?

You can't be part of the final all if you haven't identified yourself with the first all.

Why do we minimize sin and its consequences when from God's perspective it horrifies Him?

We blame others for our mistakes because we have an identity crisis.

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.
