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...

Jesus, Friend of Sinners

Sometimes I wonder, if Jesus were to come today like He did back then, or instead of back then, how comfortable would I be with Him? Would I like Him? Would any of us who claim to be His followers like Him? We love Jesus of course, but considering all the upset that...

I Can’t Live the Christian Life

The standard for living a Christ-like life is Christ Himself, and He is perfect. A lot of people are afraid to believe in and follow Jesus because they feel they can't live up to His standard. A lot of people who do believe in Jesus don't follow Him fully because they...

Outside and Inside the Storm

Last night during the sermon we talked about shore lights and lighthouses giving direction and hope in the dark and in the storms. A couple phrases stuck out to me, and they go well together. What you do when there is no storm in your life is important. Don't doubt...
