In Christ We Have Power

In Christ We Have Power

You are invited to live in Christ. Great, you say. But what does it mean? Simply put, it means you live your life with Jesus, sharing your ups and downs with him. It’s like having your best friend with you, cheering you on, or calming you down whenever needed. Jesus will coach, guide, bless, and warn you as needed. It means heaven in you and with you. When life gets hectic and troublesome, we often forget: In Christ, we have…

Salvation Comes Through Jesus

Salvation Comes Through Jesus

Sometimes I am asked how I know Jesus is my salvation. Or what do I do when doubts emerge? Faith is simple, it is a friendship with Jesus. Because of this, I share everything with him. So, if I have questions, I bring them to Jesus. If I have doubts, I tell them to Jesus. So far he has answered every time and I don’t expect that to change any time soon. Because he has promised to answer us when…

Being Called a Sinner Can Be Comforting

Being Called a Sinner Can Be Comforting

Last week I shared that even Mary the God-bearer needed a Savior. We all do. But I get it that being called a sinner might not sound very uplifting. It might make you feel doomed. Well, according to the Bible you are doomed without a Savior. You’d be doomed without Christmas, without Jesus coming to rescue us. But because he did, being called a sinner can be comforting. What??? In the words of Martin Luther “When Satan tells me I…

The Spirit Living within You

The Spirit Living within You

Do you underestimate God’s Holy Spirit? I think we all do to some extent. Otherwise, we’d be much more excited about this Comforter, Defender, Energizer, and Loyal Friend of ours who lives within us. Pentecost is a wonderful time to examine our relationship with the Spirit of Holiness. Do we let her close enough to spiritually stretch us and get us out of our comfort zone? If we want to grow in faith, we need to give the Spirit of…

Let’s Make Our Days Count

Let’s Make Our Days Count

Ascension Day is upon us. It means it’s 40 days from Easter. How have you used that time? Have you embraced the resurrection joy? Are you closer to God? Every day we are one day closer to heaven, let’s make our days count. The resurrection changed everything in the history of humankind. It can change everything for us if we just allow Jesus to raise us from the dead too. The resurrection was and is all God’s doing. We have…

Goodbye to Hopelessness and Fear, Hello to Jesus

Goodbye to Hopelessness and Fear, Hello to Jesus

Choosing to live in limbo is not living. It’s going through the motions and performing life events like you’ve seen others do. Don’t you desire to have a fulfilling life designed especially for you? I bet you do. We all do. Just so you know, it only happens when you fully embrace God and what he is doing in your life. So it’s time to say goodbye to hopelessness and fear and embrace God for all who he is and…

Be and Live Like Love

Be and Live Like Love

Valentine’s Day is approaching, so there is a lot of talk of love these days. That’s fine but so often we forget the most important love of all. So I enjoyed Bob Goff’s tweet the other day “Jesus didn’t tell us to become religious. He told us to be like Him, and He was love.” What a relief we don’t need to be religious. Instead, we are told to be like God, and he is love. So we need to…

Clear the Way for Jesus

Clear the Way for Jesus

Have you ever wondered why there is so much talk about John the Baptist during the Advent season? John the Baptist is the last of the old Testament prophets, but he was also a waymaker for Jesus. John was a sign that the prophecies of the Old Testament prophets were being fulfilled: The Savior was soon to come. The word Advent means waiting, and the purpose of this waiting period is to prepare us for the birth of Jesus. At…
