And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." —Ezekiel 36:26 In our walk with Christ, it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that simply doing better—changing our outward behaviors—is the ultimate goal.

Treat the Root, Not Just the Fruit
on July 14th, 2024
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." —Ephesians 2:8 When studying religious traditions, it’s easy to focus on rules and rituals as the pathway to being close with God. In Paul’s time, people believed that adhering to 613 commandments meant they were close to God. Similarly, today many think that praying a certain way, memorizing... Read More

It Hurt Me, but it Helped Me
on July 10th, 2024
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." - Philippians 4:6 We’ve spent a lot of time discussing those who betray you.

Shift Your Focus
on July 9th, 2024
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."- Genesis 50:20 I want you to understand something today: if you never heal from what hurt you, you’ll bleed on people who never cut you. Jesus understood that His assignment wasn’t to bleed "on" people but to bleed "for" them. For Jesus, this shift came in the form of asking no... Read More

"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."- Colossians 3:13 Healing after being hurt is tough because our natural inclination is to take it personally.

People Are Not Perfect Either

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."- Matthew 7:1-2 Building on the idea that life is not perfect, it’s crucial to remember that people are not perfect either.
