Why Do You Believe What You Believe?

Take a look at the things you believe, the things you are fully persuaded are true. Whether these things are religious, scientific, or otherwise, why do you think and feel that they are true and real? Do you really believe them, or are they just comfortable to you?...

Just Right Is Not Necessary

Yesterday morning in church a specific line stuck out to me: The Holy Spirit doesn't need everything to be just right in your life for Him to do His work through you. We were talking about Paul the apostle and how he had a prison ministry, but from inside as a...

All of a Sudden

Backsliding (which is usually Christian-speak for sliding back into the bad parts of who you were before God saved you) isn't something that happens all at once. It usually happens little by little, like slowly raising the temperature of water or slowly getting used...

Throughout the Bible we see stories of people's lives ending for good. Good triumphs over evil. Even when it looks like evil has the upper hand, good always wins. In life today good still wins. At the end of the Bible we see in the future that good will have the final...

Being Happy, Being Holy

I've written about this before in Holiness and Happiness, but upon reading a devotional this morning, I don't think I spent enough time emphasizing an important part in that blog post. Yes God cares more about your holiness than your happiness, but God has designed us...
