Jesus, how great Your love is! This I know full well. I have but a toe in the waters of your endless love. You forgive time and again, a thousand and one. Therefore, we also forgive And show others Your love for us. But I'm broken, with limited heart. Open it up, Lord, soften and [...]

Have you ever read a piece of literature, heard a song, or seen a painting and thought," Wow, that's original!" Although art can blow us away, it can sometimes leave us feeling insufficient. Creating any type of content can be discouraging, because it's difficult to think of something new. It feels like everything's been done [...]

Have you ever said to yourself, “Things can't possibly get any worse”? You aren't alone. Even people in the Bible had those thoughts at one time or another. • Sarah thought she would never have a child, even though God had promised He would give her a child so He could bring about a nation [...]

Some of our most memorable mistakes can come when we try to speak a different language from our own. A mistake like this happened to me when I was in Guatemala—because I speak very little Spanish. At one point during the trip, we went to a busy market. A man started speaking to me in [...]

In Ephesians 4, Paul encourages the Christians in Ephesus to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (verse 3). We are united because we have “one body one Spirit one hope one Lord, one faith, one baptism one God and Father” (verses 4-6). Tragically, baptism often divides [...]

What difficulty are you going through right now? What are you struggling with? Sometimes problems seem to stack upon problems upon problems in our lives. Whether you are feeling completely buried under the stress and pressures of this life or you just have that one issue that is driving you crazy, call out to Jesus. [...]
