Keeping Christ in Christmas

There will only ever be 1 perfect gift given during the Christmas season and the birth of King Jesus is it! Remember the true meaning of the holiday this season.

All we have to fear is fear itself

Fear, grief and doubt want us to feel alone, but Jesus meets us wherever we are.

Facing your demons

It is the eve of the heart procedure that I’ve been dreading. The doctor had to reschedule it and I’ve had to wait an extra 12 days. I am terrified. Not so much of the procedure itself, it’s just a basic heart cath. It’s the results that I’m scared of. After a really rough and […]

The energizer bunny’s got nothin’ on Jesus

Religion doesn’t save you!

Just because you have been a good person doesn’t mean you’re going to heaven. God isn’t Santa and he doesn’t bring the good children home, he brings the faithful ones home.

Sacrifices must be made…

Jesus sacrificed Himself as the perfect lamb, wholly pleasing to God. His sacrifice saved us from the cost of our sin, death.
