Absolutely nothing can tear us from His Love. Sometimes we need a reminder. Just call us Israelites. One more trip around that mountain’ll do us some good, eh? We are not alone in this. Just might need to hit the pause button to create a break in the midst of our selfish tendencies as humans…
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me,…
I’ve been reading (for the 2nd time) a book by Tozer called Alive in the Spirit. He wrote something that stood out to me concerning the person of the Holy Spirit and how we miss the point when we don’t seek out a relationship with Him. We ask for the gifts of the Spirit like…
Although I haven't got this all figured out I do know this much...I want to be found faithful in whatever God has called me to do. I want to remain so close to my Dad, that I get excited at doing even the smallest of things just to please Him.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Have you ever heard that? Of course you have! Are you guilty of doing that very thing? Of course you are! It’s so easy for us, even as Christians, to see something or someone, a situation or a whatever, and make an instant opinion and assessment of what…
I'll start off saying the title is a bit ominous, but it's not exact. It's more of the time when God doesn't show up until he does. The time that is days, weeks, months, or for some, even years.
