The Heavens Declare Your Glory…

When we look around today, we still see the intricacies of God’s creations. In each and every plant, animal, and person, the fingerprint of God is visible. We often stand in awe of nature… in awe of God’s creation. It may be a sunrise or sunset. Perhaps standing on a mountain top or with our toes on the beach looking out into the vastness of the ocean. Regardless of the scene, there’s this moment when some realize that we are a small part of something bigger.

What I’ve come to find is that there are some who elevate creation above the creator.

Deliberate Sin…

Reading these verses in Hebrews may spark fear for some, but there is an important lesson to be learned here. If we deliberately sin after we have knowledge of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, we open ourselves to judgement from God. When we turn our backs on the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, we are no different than people who refuse to believe the gospel. But what’s more, we place ourselves with no other options for salvation or forgiveness. Jesus said that he is the way, the truth, and the light. No one comes to the Father except through him. If we ignore Jesus, we block access to the Father.

Avoiding False Teachers…

When Christians fail to learn the word of God for themselves, they leave themselves open to being deceived. We can not identify truth from lies if we don’t know what the truth is. Most people take what their pastor says as the truth and rarely go back to examine the text for themselves. If we took time to study and dive deeper into the Bible, we would be able to withstand the deviations from the truth.

A Word for 2023... EPHESIANS 5:7-11 7 Therefore d A Word for 2023... 
EPHESIANS 5:7-11
7 Therefore do not become partners with them; 8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

It's 2023.

A new day. A new year. A new season.

A new opportunity to live an intentional and fruitful life.

Each year, January is filled with resolutions to live differently. We set our sights on increasing the things that fill us with joy and health while decreasing the areas that bring us frustration. But one thing, that we commonly forget is to include God in our plans for the year ahead.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
Proverbs 19:21 ESV

When we fail to seek God’s will for our lives, we set ourselves up for unnecessary obstacles which is why it is very important to yield our plans to the Lord’s purpose.

During the final months of 2022, I began to seek the Lord’s will for 2023. He encouraged me with Ephesians 5. 

In 2023, God wants us to walk in the fullness of our new name. We are children of God and our behavior should mark us as such. This year, God is calling us to walk worthy of the name we’ve been gifted. We are charged to display visible fruit (See Galatians 5:22-23) as we navigate our earthly journey. We’re instructed to separate ourselves from evil and discern acts that please God. The beauty is that we have the Holy Bible to demonstrate the character and nature of God. As we meditate and dwell in His word, discernment, withstanding darkness, and bold correction becomes easier.

If you have been needing accountability for dwelling in the word of God this year, please join us. This January, we’re beginning new studies and reading plans (monthly and yearly).

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:13-14 ESV

Wishing you a Merry Christmas! 

Don't forget the reason for the season.
