How to Walk With God

How to Walk With God

When I was a kid walking home from school, I’d often find myself simply walking as fast as I could, head down, staring at my shoes. I found it was the quickest way to get home. But in the journey of life, simply arriving quickly is not the goal! Do you want more than a quick trip from Point A to Point B? What could make life DIFFERENT?

How to Repent

How to Repent

It’s a beautiful, soul-cleansing process: Repentance. But might we be doing it in a way that is less than effective for keeping us from repeating the sin again?

What Stops God From Working

What Stops God From Working

Chapters 4,5 and 6 of the Gospel of Mark are put together to communicate something very definite. Have you ever noticed? And what should we change about our beliefs so that we conform to what God is communicating here?

Have you ever been pressured - either by a person or a circumstance - to make a quick decision? Often we live to regret those choices we make in haste. But what is the best attitude to make our decisions from?

Whose Opinion Counts?

How to View Defeat

How to View Defeat

Defeat. It may be part of everyone’s story from time to time, but it doesn’t ever feel like PART of the story — it feels like the END of the story. How can a story about a headless and handless idol tell us otherwise?

Feeling Insufficient?

Feeling Insufficient?
