    Living an Extraordinary Life

    January 29, 2021

    Guest Post by Adena Dueck (From the Book of Daniel) Do you ever catch yourself reading through Bible stories like David and Goliath, Daniel and the Lion’s Den, the book of Acts and think to yourself, “WOW. I wonder if miraculous stuff like this could ever happen in my life.. These men and women of God must have been VERY close to God, or maybe they were just a bunch of nobodies – magically chosen.” We are all called to live an extraordinary life in Christ. Just as Daniel was rescued from the lions den, so God wants to show…

    Letting God Have Control of Your Life

    June 9, 2020

    It is sometimes easy to have the mindset of letting God take the wheel of your life. Sometimes it can be easy to let God take the pen and write out your story. Letting God have control of your life can sometimes be very easy for us to accept. But other times it can be very difficult. Times when we are uncertain about life or when things are falling apart around us it can be so hard to let God take complete control of our lives. We want to hold on to the familiar, allowing only what we want in.…

    Knowing That God Loves You Just the Way You Are

    May 12, 2020

    For me, it has been so easy to doubt God’s love. With all of the voices around me and the constant pressure from the world, holding on to God’s truth has been difficult. Does God really love me? Shouldn’t I clean myself up first if God is going to love me? Why would God love someone like me? I don’t deserve to be loved. God could never use or love someone like me… Probably most of you who are reading this have had similar thoughts. Does God really love you just the way you are? There are many people in…

    Rejoicing in the Hard Parts of Life

    May 6, 2020

    Life can be so hard. There are so many difficulties that can come up each day. And I know how hard it can be to stay joyful during times like these. But when I’m going through hard parts of my life I always like to remember the story of Job. He lost all and went through an extremely difficult part of his life. But he still chose to be joyful and praise God. And that is the same attitude we each need to have when we go through hard parts in our lives. James 1:2-4 tells us “Count it all…

    Having Faith Like a Child

    February 18, 2020

    In the book of Mark, we are told of a beautiful story of Yeshua (Jesus) and some little children. “And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, ‘Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.’ And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on…

    Impacting the World for the Kingdom

    October 24, 2019

    What is the meaning of life? It is a question that is probably asked by every person in every stage of life. Asking this question is good for a Christian’s walk of faith. But the answer is the most important. The answer is living with a kingdom mindset and impacting the world for the Kingdom. So what is the Kingdom and how can you live Kingdom minded? I’m glad you asked! The Kingdom is a place of righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). Some may believe that the Kingdom will come after the Lord returns. But it is here now!…

    Unbelievers and the Christian Girl

    October 8, 2019

    So you’re a Christian. You follow the Lord and strive to do His will. Reading your Bible and praying is something that you do daily. And you try to be as set-apart from the world as you possibly can. But you encounter unbelievers—people who necessarily don’t believe in God. How do you respond? Whether these unbelievers are seeking to know more about God or just want to be your friend, what should you do? Verses such as 2 Corinthians 6:14 may confuse the Christian girl: “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or…
