Living a Life of Love

I have been anxious to get to the “consecration” part of our Joshua story. It is a crucial piece of how our faith is built. However, as I prepared to write this blog, I realized I was rushing ahead of God. So, before we move to the importance of preparing, we must step back to the place of  “when you see God…” Last week, we discovered step one of how our faith is built. It is relationship. This is where we get to know God […]

Do you ever wonder how our faith is built? It does not just happen. We don’t just wake up one day and have faith. There is a building process that must take place that is linked to our relationship with God and others. In the past few weeks, we have discovered a correlation between our relationship with God and others. As we get to know God through scripture, we realize we are actually spending time with God. Through this, we begin to trust God. As […]

Has God ever commanded you to do something? I don’t particularly like being told what to do, but when God speaks, there is a proper response. Today, we are going to begin laying a firm foundation, a place where we can set our foot. So that when the time comes, we can stand confidently on what we know to be true. The book of Joshua is filled with example after example of what to do when God speaks. Last week, we discovered when we set […]

Have you ever thought about where you set your foot? I have a really bad habit of not watching where I am walking. The other day, I tripped and almost hit the ground.

Last week, I asked the question, “What would it take to have a deeper relationship […]

What would it take to have a deeper relationship with God? Do you ever think about it? What would it be like to have more fulfilling relationships with other people? To connect and feel connected? Could the the two be linked? That your relationship with God might somehow correlate to your relationship with everyone else. I long to have a deep relationship with God and I want others to have it too. Three years ago, I wrote my first blog in an effort to promote […]

This morning, as I stepped outside around 5:45 a.m., I was met by the most beautiful night sky. The crescent moon shone so bright, while the stars twinkled all around it. It was a reminder, telling me to be a light in this world. All I could do was praise God. “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise…” Psalm 96:1-11 reads, Sing to the Lord a new song;     sing to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name;     proclaim his salvation day after day.
