God intended our families to be a place for love, growth, discipline, and safety. Unfortunately, for some of us, "the curse" has damaged our families and has changed them into places of hurt, teasing, anger, and stress. Joseph's family, in the book of...

What makes a $100 bill extremely valuable, but a piece of paper the same shape and size, pretty worthless? It comes down whether there is someone who sees value in that bill and is willing to redeem it. Through out scripture God is called our...

Some characters in Revelation can be hard to identify with great certainty. However, there is no mistaking who The White Rider represents. In Revelation 19 we get a picture of Jesus like the world had never seen before. Many believed Jesus to be only...

"The End of the World" sparks lots of controversy and fear. There is lots of speculation, even among Christians, about how to interpret apocalyptic books (like Revelation), when and if Christians will leave this Earth before things get really bad down...

What is the value of a coach? They can push you, encourage you, develop your skills in a way you never could have done on your own. Without a coach you will quickly reach the end of your abilities. Intentional relationships, like a coach, can increase...

I once met a guy who always had a great story to tell. After two weeks of stories I realized he was a liar. He was all talk, but had never actually done what he was saying. As Christ followers we are warned against loving with words, while forgetting...

He was hunched over, resting his chin between his thumb and fore finger. His finger moved back and forth. He breathed deep and sighed with his eyes locked on a spot on the floor. I knew he was thinking! What we do with our bodies says something about...

Little kids have crazy imaginations. When they hear the world's message, "GROW UP!" they stop dreaming. But God wants you to keep dreaming wildly about what He wants to make with your life! And what He wants for you is better than you could have ever...

If we were given the option to lead others to something meaningful or to sit on our butts, most would want to lead. But sometimes, the fear of rejection, failure, loss, or the unknown keeps us on our butts. Even the Israelites, who were God's...
