Understanding Authority
There is a secret place under the shadow of the Almighty where there is liberty, provision, and protection. It is accessed by obedience to His authority. Yet too many believers do not enjoy this hidden place. Instead, they seek freedom and security outside of it,...
Representing Christ
We’re Christ’s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God’s work of making things right between them. We’re speaking for Christ himself now…. (2 Cor. 5:20 MSG) God, the Almighty Creator of all, has given us...
Exercise Your Faith
God keeps His promise, and He will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, He will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out. (1 Cor. 10:13 TEV) The process God uses to build our...
Inviting God into Your Story
God, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage…. (Mal. 2:15 MSG) In the beginning, before any other institution was established, marriage was made. God made marriage, and it is very important to Him—so important He desires to...

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph. 2:8-9 NKJV) Faith is what gives us access to the grace of God. If our access to grace has been granted, all that is left...
Distinguishing Ourselves
We become influencers, knowing that God has called us to be the head and not the tail, above and not beneath (see Deut. 28:13). As believers we should be influencing every aspect of the world. We are to not only rise above adverse circumstances but also to be...
The Big Cover-Up
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph. 2:8-9 NKJV) It is by the empowerment of God’s grace that we can serve and obey Him acceptably. Grace redeems, but even...
The Wrong Way to Be Right
Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have...
