LIMITS

We have become increasingly afraid of putting limits on children, ourselves, social programs, and other good things that need boundaries.

Feel, Search, Act

Envy of Unbelief

God never discourages honest questions or doubt. When resolved, they often leave us on less rocky, more solid ground. The hard part sometimes is confessing the envy of those who don’t seem to need God, or the doubts,or questions. Don’t be afraid. God doesn’t run away the minute we have questions. Take it from someone… Continue reading

I Deserve This

Deuteronomy 9:4 When the Lord has done this for you, don’t say in your hearts, “The Lord has given us this land because we are such good people!” This concept came up in a Bible study lately. We get to the point where we feel we deserve a certain level of God’s blessings. We forget… Continue reading
