God Complex
The more we love others unconditionally, the greater our God complexes get and the deeper our understanding of love becomes.

Jesus + You = Joy
The joy we find ourselves experiencing or creating is never complete if Christ isn't also in the equation. Life often brings us moments where we can have a little bit of joy, but it's short-lived; only…

Are the lights on?
God's dwelling is a light so strong and so brilliantly swollen that it's unapproachable for the embodied imperfections that wander this earth. But we were created in this wondrous image; we, too, were…

Grace is transparent
People who hide behind a mask of perfection stand little chance of experiencing God & His grace. He blesses us. Humility means we've arrived at selflessness, put off pride and taken on the armor of God's…

Broken
Perhaps the only way to truly know God is with a broken heart. Broken by shame, guilt, humility and a realization that we are unworthy of His grace. Perhaps we serve a broken-hearted God. The world is…

What's Inside
Sometimes the me in Christ doesn't line up with the me I see. Sometimes my lack of self-confidence hurts my faith more than my self-esteem. If God says He finishes what He begins, I need to trust the…

Seek to forgive
If grief is the natural pursuer on the heels of loss, then revenge is the blister that forms on our heels when we don't stop running. Grief must catch us & ring us dry, bringing us to the end of ourselves…

Absent Love
What sometimes seems like a lack of love could be a lack of faith (or trust). When life around us seems to be absent of love, it's not so much the absence of God as it is the absence of us loving God.

Dismiss the notion to blame
Problems should become opportunities to honor God, not blame Him. If we had no problems, we'd have no need for God. And it's rather exciting, endearing, amazing (etc.) that God wants us to need Him.

Portrait of Love
I am humbled. To believe that the creator of the universe, the most intelligent presence in our lives, considered me. From nothing, I became an idea, a new life, an inspiration worth drawing into existence.…

Interception through prayer
I love how this verse oozes with grace and redemption. You feel a tiny twinge of pity for Peter; after all, Satan did ask if he could mess with him. Of course, Peter has free will like the rest of us…

God is pro-desires
I'm currently reading John Ortberg's 'The Me I Want To Be,' and part of Ch.7 discusses this subject of desires. Some highlights: God is a desire-creating, desire-satisfying God. God doesn't plant wrong…

Chosen
I don't think we rest in this truth often enough. Being chosen to hang out at the cool table during lunch is a big deal. Being chosen for the next big promotion is a cause for celebration. Being chosen…

Distinguishing God's Voice
All plausible temptations were given to Jesus in the wilderness. It's like that for us, too. Culture is tempting. Success is tempting. That 600-calorie sundae is tempting (ok, that last one is more healthy…

Defense mechanisms
All too often, I fall back on these. A life spent building up walls & not trusting what others say or do makes for difficult ground to break when God wants to build a foundation of absolute trust. All…

A funny thing happened on the way to Jericho
A blind man "sees" God approaching and seizes the moment. His faith heals him; spiritual sight makes possible physical sight. If we could all only blindly see that the power of God has not only approached…
