Satan isn’t trying to get you to sign up for his faith system but rather he is constantly trying to get you to fall away from yours.
Church Life
What’s in a Name?
I have a name, you have a name. Alive or inanimate; everything and everyone has a name. Our name most likely fits who we are, not because it was the perfect choice when those who named us assigned it but because over time those who get to know us can’t help connecting who we are and what we look like with it. What’s in a name? Nothing until that name is attached to someone or something. (more…)
Appearance or Reality
It is difficult to love those who do not share the same beliefs as we do. This means it is just as difficult to love those in the church as it is to love those outside the church and even more difficult to love God.
God’s Faithfulness
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV)

A Little Understanding – Stuck in the Entryway
If something affects the individual Christ follower, it almost always affects the collective of Christ followers. The blur of needs, wants and extras have made it difficult for churches to encourage maturing. With the world’s way of operating just outside the entryway and Satan selling his snake oil fixes, the church has become more focused on talents and hard work than on God and His call. (more…)
Childlike or Childish
Life is far more complicated than the childish sets of rules that religion demands we follow. With childlike faith we must approach our heavenly father and ask him what His plan, done His way, following His timing, using His chosen resources looks like for our lives and our churches.
