Embracing your new life in Christ

March 19, 2022May 20, 2022Leave a comment

It's impossible to embrace your new life in Christ if you're still clinging to your old life habits and sins. Colossians 3 has some strong words for us about putting off our old selves. And friends, this is something we all need to hear. If we are a follower of Christ, our old selves have … Continue reading Embracing your new life in Christ

Boldness for Jesus begins with bold repentance

November 17, 2021November 17, 2021Leave a comment

We all love the feeling of the word “boldness.” Confidence wells up, we begin being a part of something, and we feel seen. But one concept we often don’t associate with boldness is repentance.The funny thing is, Scripture talks time and time again about boldness being preceded by repentance. The truth is plain and simple: … Continue reading Boldness for Jesus begins with bold repentance

You can’t be the light unless you know the light

October 12, 2021October 12, 2021Leave a comment

So you wanna be a LIGHT? Spend your time getting to know THE LIGHT! We all want to be known as positive, joyful, caring people. Basically, we all want to be known as a “light.” It is a high compliment. But it’s impossible to make an eternal positive impact in this world unless YOUR OWN … Continue reading You can’t be the light unless you know the light

The True Happily Ever After Story

February 3, 2021January 30, 2021Leave a comment

Guest Author: Sharon White Who doesn’t savor a romantic boy-meets-girl love story with a fairytale ending? “And the two lived happily every after…” music fades.  The illusion of falling in love instantaneously with Prince Charming has been planted in the hearts of girls from fictional novels to animated Disney movies. While it is a natural … Continue reading The True Happily Ever After Story

Pause and remember

November 13, 2020November 6, 2020Leave a comment

How often do you PAUSE your day to REMEMBER GOD? Designated quiet times are so important, friends, but tonight I want to talk about something else. Think with me for a moment about the last time you paused during your workday computer to remember the Lord. Think about the last time you consciously recalled a … Continue reading Pause and remember

You become what you love

November 9, 2020November 6, 2020Leave a comment

Be cautious of what you LOVE, because it defines who you BECOME. After watching certain TV shows, listening to certain songs or podcasts, or being around certain people, it’s easy to find myself mimicking the behaviors of the things/people I love the most. Love is a wonderful thing, and God allows us to enjoy many … Continue reading You become what you love

On Peanut Butter Pie & Hope

July 27, 2020July 27, 2020Leave a comment

By: Hannah Deaton The first dessert I ever made from scratch was peanut butter pie from my mom’s brown rooster cookbook. This is one of those family cookbooks with the cover falling off and the pages stained from sticky, ingredient covered fingers (a cookbook you can trust). To make this pie you must first prepare … Continue reading On Peanut Butter Pie & Hope

What My Car Wreck Taught Me About Easter

April 16, 2019November 21, 2019Leave a comment

The screeching of metal-on metal awoke me from my frozen state of panic. When the car finally came to a halt, I batted through deployed air-bags and crumbled-in car doors to escape the vehicle. What happened? Was I hurt? Why was I still in the middle of the road? Surely other cars would run into … Continue reading What My Car Wreck Taught Me About Easter

Savoring Singleness

February 12, 2019November 21, 2019Leave a comment

“Dear future husband, it’s getting closer to Valentine’s Day—yet another I will spend single. I am missing you more often around this time. I want you to know that I love you even though I don’t know you yet. I know God has someone extra-special planned for me—you!” Fifteen-year-old Marina penned those words. I still … Continue reading Savoring Singleness
