Characteristics of God - The God you serve is caring, powerful, loving, gracious, and good. And the list goes on and on . . . 

.

Blessed - As a follower of Christ, you are blessed by adversity. Whatever may come, you are blessed.

Human Wisdom - Man has been predicting his own future and espousing his own wisdom for centuries. Yet, since time began, God's wisdom has been the only light of reason.

Dream Big - God is ready to accomplish infinitely more than you ever dare to ask or hope.

Love Is - A short meditation on the many wonderful faces of love.

The Greatest - John 3:16, a simple yet revolutionary statement from the creator of the universe. Take a macro-look at how it has impacted humanity.

Extreme Horsepower - Jack has the keys to the ultimate ride, but for some reason he won't crank up the engine. Sometimes all of us need to step on the gas and enjoy the ride.

Anyway - A quote from Mother Teresa reminds us that our love for others shouldn't be conditional, just as God's love is free to all. For life is not about us and them, it's about us and God.

Last Is First - The paradoxes of life surround and stupefy us, yet the paradoxes of Christianity are beautiful enigmas of truth and understanding.

Self Image - No matter who you are or what you've done, you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Beside You - If God were singing a love song of encouragement to you, what would it sound like?

Bring Peace - Based on the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, we are reminded to be a channel of His Peace.

I Am - He was sinless, perfect, healed the blind, and loved the unlovable. He shocked, astonished, and challenged all thought. The calendar begins and ends with his life - who do YOU say Jesus is?

The Sower - When a seed falls to the ground, it thirsts for fertile soil in which to flourish. Likewise, the word of God should not be cast among among the thorns and thistles. Where do your seeds fall?
