Christ Came to Spring the Trap

Have you ever felt like you were caught in a trap?  Have you ever felt like you couldn’t escape the pain you were feeling?

Isaiah said of Christ that He came to set the captives free and  release prisoners from darkness

Change You Change Your Life

How do you feel when you want change and it does’t happen?  When you’re looking for answers and you can’t find them.

I’ve come to realize that when anyone wants something to change, they have to change something.

The trouble is figuring out what to change…and how to change it.

Getting Lost and Being Found

I fell away from the Lord when I was young mostly because I only had my parent’s relationship with Christ, not my own.  In other words, I lived a Christian life while I was a child in my parent’s home, and when I left I didn’t have my own foundation in Christ to stand on.

In my most recent blog I encouraged you to create a vocabulary list of words to worship God with.

How’s your list coming along?  Have you had a chance to get to that list of words and phrases that describe the Lord?

Why is it important to establish your connection with God by worshipping Him?  Worship is ascribing worth to God.  It is derived from a combo word, worth-ship.

Do you know how to worship God?  Do you know what to say, how to act?  These may seem like simple questions to some of you, but to others, the answers may seem pretty far out of reach.

John turned to see Him, someone like the Son of Man!

Until I began to worship God, I didn’t know Him well.  But as I began to worship Him, something changed in my heart

One of the most overlooked reasons for missing out on the fullness of God’s salvation is that we have not become thankful people.

Many of the books we read and movies we see at the theater or on television are stories of love gone wrong.  The beautiful, wonderful and powerful thing we call love somehow turns into a weapon used by one character in the…

I saw a cartoon in a magazine a long time ago.  It was a picture of a guy pulled over to the side of the road. Clearly something had broken.  The hood on the car was up and the guy was looking at what supposed to be the engine. 

One day some time ago I called a friend I was just getting to know to see if I could spend a little bit of time talking to him about life in general.  My real purpose was to spend some time with him complaining about my life…

Don’t be afraid.  We are secure in Christ.  Yet, it is important to assign to God what God does and assign to Satan what Satan does.  Jesus said that Satan came to kill, steal and destroy.  And the He said, “I come that…
