This knowledge of our right standing with God -- this life of faith that we have come into -- it is because of this rock foundation…

There is only one thing that is going to accomplish the purposes of God, and that is being in the Spirit.

"You have begun to live the new life, in which you are being made new and are becoming like the One who made you." - Colossians 3:10 NCV

Concerning transition, what happens to you is not as important as how you respond to what happens to you. Are you going to keep moving forward, or are you going to let your fear of the unknown hold you back? Are you going to make excuses for yourself or are you going to press through the emotional storms until you reach the other side?

Sometimes you may feel that change has mowed you down because life as you…

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." - Acts 20:24

There are no shortcuts and there are no other paths. There is only your CALLING in Christ and it is this path. If you stay on it, it will lead you straight to the top of the mountain; and to make the climb, you have to lay down all your baggage. It will also change you from the inside…

Ephesians 1:18-19 (NASB): "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe..."
