There appears to be a smattering of definitions of love and how feelings play out in our lives, and there is also a way to have clarity on what love is!

There are consequences to the  cultural lens that says it is my truth or your truth, or the Scriptural lens that says that God Himself is truth.

Imagine if we would acknowledge the kind of purity that God is what impact that would have on all of our lives for the good. 

In a crazy, unstable and constantly changing world (often not for the good), there is an unchanging God who helps live with confidence and stability.

Sometimes people believe they are in control, yet the reality is God is the One who is in control of all things.

The Bible has been attacked for centuries and is often dismissed as “myth.” But as we follow Peter’s lead and look at evidence we see that there is something unique and incredible about this book. In fact, the most reasonable conclusion is that it actually is the very words of God.

When feeling fragile and down in life, there is a real strength and stability that comes from being in and under God’s Word!

Let's think about why it even matters that we trust the Bible for the way we see reality.

The culture around us continues to move full speed ahead in the opposite direction of God, and there is a way to live confidently graciously and fully in the midst of the opposition.

With the New year ahead of us, it has become easy to look ahead with some fear of what might come because of the past few years. Many people have lost so much joy and excitement and are now just trying to survive the day. If we aren’t careful we will give way to cynicism and shrink back from using our biggest witness to others, our unshakable JOY. Jesus wants to shift our focus and give us a new perspective for the year ahead. A perspective that allows us to move into any unknown fixing our eyes on who He is and how He will always provide!

Imagine if wonder was recaptured in the depths of a person for what is true and the wholehearted worship that would follow!

The Possibilities of Peace

It would seem that a life of joy is not always possible because of life circumstance, yet it really is possible to live a life of joy in spite of our circumstances.

The love of God is unique, great, and once you have received it, you cannot help but sing about it.

Sometimes life and life’s circumstances are such that fear and despair are overwhelming, yet we find again and again that in Christ we have a hope that overcomes fear and despair.

When confronted with the hardness of our broken reality, we should look up, pour ourselves out, tether to the truth, and ultimately trust amid the Tension.

Sometimes we walk in a slumber in the mundane, yet there is an awe and wonder to which we can be awakened and invigorated.

Setbacks in life can either deter or serve as catalysts for moving forward well.

The good news of Jesus does not always travel fast, but when it does it is just pure fun to watch it rapidly change lives!
