Instructing and encouraging you to live your life as a disciple of Jesus

Faith

Moving Beyond Faith

by

Once you have made the decision to follow Christ, what’s next? How do we go about doing life the day after we have given ourselves to Him? Those who truly love Him want so much more than a “get out of Hell free” pass. We want to live in a manner that glorifies Him and sets us apart. But where do we start and how to we continue to grow in our relationship with Jesus?

Fortunately, God did not leave us to figure this out on our own. To help guide us, He places His Spirit within each of us who put their faith in Him. He also gave us the instructions of His Word in scripture. His plan for our maturity can be found in 2 Peter 1:5-8. It’s a roadmap for how we should live our life.

Discouragement

by

It’s only natural that we will become discouraged from time to time. Sometimes a series of events throws us into a tailspin. Sometimes it’s as simple as hearing a song on the radio. Whatever the reason, discouragement is a reality we all have to face.

Doubting Your Faith

by

Many of us have doubts from time to time when it comes to our faith in God. Is it really worth it? Is it actually true? Is there really a God? I don’t think God is afraid of our questions or put off by our doubt. He wants us to choose Him, and making a choice requires consideration of all the facts involved.

Questions

If God would have wanted automated robots who had no questions and who had no choice but to follow Him, He would not have blessed us with the gift of freewill. [Read more…] about Doubting Your Faith

Faith vs. Fear

by

Faith and fear are the closest of cousins; both deal with our believing things we cannot see. Through faith we possess the power to hope for all that is possible; it allows us to persevere through dark days and tough times. In fear we find a lack of motivation to move; it paralyzes and keeps us trapped in our despair and inner anxiety.

Faith vs. Fear

We all live in various states of these two conditions, and usually cling to a little of both. Jesus came to offer His grace to cover our fear and encourage our faith. As His disciples, we need to let go of the things that scare us and take hold of the possibilities afforded to us through the power of Christ. [Read more…] about Faith vs. Fear
