Planting Your Garden: Sowing Seed

Seeds are a wonderful thing. They contain everything needed for a plant to grow. All the nutrients that baby plant will require are contained in that tiny little seed.

Passing the Test

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? There are all kinds of tests in life. We have tests at school to see if we’ve adequately learned the material presented in a given class.Continue reading “Passing the Test”

Growth Is Seen From a Distance

Living things are supposed to grow. It’s in the design. Doesn’t matter if we’re talking about plants, animals, or people. All living things grow. The rate of growth is different for each living thing. Some things grow incredibly quickly. Some things grow incredibly slowly. Sometimes we barely notice any growth at all. Sometimes we can’tContinue reading “Growth Is Seen From a Distance”

Don’t Drift From the Truth

Hebrews 2:1-4 (MSG) It’s crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we’ve heard so that we don’t drift off. If the old message delivered by the angels was valid and nobody got away with anything, do you think we can risk neglecting this latest message, this magnificent salvation? First of all, it wasContinue reading “Don’t Drift From the Truth”

What’s in a Name?

There’s just something about a name. A good name is memorable. It has an image to it, a power. As important as names are to us, they are just as important to God.

The Armor of God

Ephesians 6:11 “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.“ We are in a battle. It’s a battle to see if we will trust the character and nature of God, or if we will listen to the voice of the enemy and doubt Him. Our enemyContinue reading “The Armor of God”

The Virtuous Woman: Proverbs 31

The virtuous woman of Proverbs 31:10-31. We love her. We hate her. We all wish we could be her. We feel condemned and ashamed because we aren’t her. And most of us don’t understand her at all. For many of us, this passage serves as a high bar of womanhood we can never achieve. WeContinue reading “The Virtuous Woman: Proverbs 31”

Flooded With Grace

1 Timothy 1:14-17 (TPT) “I was flooded with such incredible grace, like a river overflowing its banks, until I was full of faith and love for Jesus, the Anointed One!

Freedom from False Responsibilities

We all have responsibilities in our life. Some of them come as a result of our stage of life. We have more responsibilities as an adult than we do as a child, for example. Some of them come as a result of the season of life we are in. The responsibilities we have when weContinue reading “Freedom from False Responsibilities”
