We all want to be real, all the time…but sometimes we can’t, can we? We fear we won’t be as loved or as accepted if people found out who we really were. But this is not from God. It is from our enemy. He wants to STEAL our true identity. The one given by our...

A Challenge:
If you would like to be challenged along with me, I am currently taking my time through a series by David Platt called “Radical”. I must provide a warning though, this series will most likely challenge everything you’ve ever seen/experienced in “american christianity”. It is a call to look at what the Bible says about...

Important People
If one is important, then we all are. Here are a few verses I ran across today. I am continually challenged by my inward focus and how I get so easily distracted. I pray I would love God and love people more consistantly. For this is THE MESSAGE that you have heard from the beginning,...
