Give Thanks in Everything (John MacArthur)

What corrupts the heart? What hinders us from giving thanks? Why should we give thanks? Today’s video recommendation is very convicting to say the least. Giving thanks and being thankful is essential for the Christian. (See: 5 Scriptures To Meditate On This Month | Thanksgiving) As we get closer to Thanksgiving, I hope today’s sermon…

Discernment | God’s Will for Your Life

Discernment is one of those words you often hear thrown around in Christian circles, but what does discernment really mean? Are we merely using our feelings, our intuitions, to discern something? In the past, I used to think discernment was merely a spiritual gift and not everyone would have discernment. I realize now, through scripture,…

The Door of Darkness (Christian Poem)

It was a beautiful door.Expensive wood. Carved features. A mind that understood. The door called.It beckoned.It glowed. It welcomed. The words it would sing. Sweet. Soft. Gentle.

Sunshine In The Heart (Charles Spurgeon)

Spurgeon is one of my favorite Reformers. He has a ton of powerful quotes, and more importantly, they give glory and credit to God. Listening to this one was definitely a blessing in timing.

Please feel free to disagree with me 🙂 I bring this up because I've heard both sides and have been engaged in both conversations. But there…

A Plant In The Window | Midweek Inspiration

I'm a plant in the window. I see all kinds of things. From rainstorms to snow to butterfly wings.   People pass my window. Aloft inside their head. Faces stuck into phones. Hands clenched in dread.   I grow from the sunlight. From the Healer's kind hand. Yet these same people have it but refuse…

Are We Too Confident In Ourselves?

We should never pride ourselves on what God has granted to us. Our abilities. Our gifts. Our knowledge. As much as each one can be used for His glory, to further His kingdom, and to draw us closer to Him, they could easily become a problem. Not because of God, but because of us. We…
