Hope that Jesus can write a new chapter in your life.

We are all waiting for something. For the end of pain, for a spouse, for a child… And so we look to the Christmas story and ask: What does the story of Christmas have to say to weary waiters?

There is a peace and a comfort when we realize God has us in His hands.

A collection of songs for when you are suffering.

How many of my failures this past year would have been dodged had I prayed more fervently on January 1, 2020? Would I had been more prepared for the year that was to come?

Temptation towards sin is only one battle ground for Satan in the life of a Christian. The other place of temptation is after you have fallen.

You have not out sinned His love. The Lord loves us where we are, but He also loves us too much to keep us there.

What encouragement can we hold onto when silence from God enters our lives? When God Feels far, is there hope?

Sin thrives in darkness. Sin shrivels in the light.

Tiredness is a symptom of a deeper reality; so it is with our spiritual fatigue. There is a distinction to be made between being tired from time to time and staying tired. That is when you need to take a more serious look, what are the symptoms revealing?

As you look back on 2019, you might find that what fills you is regret over your sins and mistakes. Here are six anchors that will hold you amidst the waves of regret.

Christmas time is one that is often joyful. Cozy. Filled with family, laughter, and comforts. For some, though, the holidays are quite painful. Where do we go for hope when the holiday tears fall?

If I fall again, will He be there to pick me up? Can we find hope in the wake of committing the deepest and darkest sins of our lives? After the affair. After the adultery. After the murder. After the deception. When we are most disillusioned about our own salvation because of our depravity, this is when the doctrine of the atonement and mediation shine brightest.

When everything else seems lacking, look to Jesus. Get your eyes off of yourself, off your circumstances, and look into the face of Jesus. For there, “ the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace”

We sin, we feel shame, that shame leads us to run away from God and others in isolation, then the isolation leaves us empty. Thus, turning to sin we begin the cycle again. Where do we go when we are trapped in this hell of a cycle?

God is near to you in your broken heart— No matter what the broken heart or crushed spirit came from. Beautiful.

About six months into my seminary career; however, the excitement started to fade. God became less real to me. The God who bled and died for me became the God whom I merely read and wrote about. I eventually began to question God entirely. I went  through seasons in which I questioned my salvation, questioned the goodness of God, and even questioned the very existence of God.
