One bad apple.

If you’re walking with someone who doesn’t know the Lord, use caution. While we’re called to be witnesses for Christ, be sure to keep your feet on solid ground and don’t be tempted to run with fools.

Are you a people-pleaser?

Jesus chose you. Now that’s an encouraging thought. Seeing as how you were chosen by the risen Savior, perhaps it’s time for you and I to stop trying to please people and start pleasing God.

Stop trusting yourself.

Stop trusting yourself and starting trusting God. He is the best source for truth, wisdom, knowledge, and strength. Proverbs 16:9 (NLT) says, “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.”

Be strong and very courageous.

Pick up a copy of the Bible daily. It has the power to change your life. Read, pray, and obey! Only then will you have the courage to stand tall.

When, not if.

Do you rely on God or do you rely on yourself? When trouble comes, do you try to overcome it through prayer and obedeince or through your own power?

May love be your highest goal.

Let’s go show the world that we are followers of Jesus Christ. May love be your highest goal today, tomorrow, and beyond.

Don’t let it control you.

Sin is a word we’d rather not speak of in today’s society. I think of it oftentimes like Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter…”He Who Must Not Be Named.” However, we cannot just ignore it.

May your joy be infectious.

My hope is that joy may fill my home and yours as well.

Be humble.

“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.” That’s a promise worth pursuing.

What is discernment?

Fake news may be a relatively new term to us in the 21st century, but the idea of truth being stretched or outright lies being told in order to make people believe falsehoods is nothing new.
