The Words Of My Mouth
Words have power. And I think they have the most power when they are words of prayer. Powerful prayers don’t have to be long and filled with Christianese. A prayer can simply be speaking the name of Jesus.

Returning To Gilgal
How easy is it to forget the goodness and faithfulness of God? Where do you need to be reminded of God’s faithfulness? Come back to the camp and remember that God was faithful to deliver you before. He is still faithful today. And He is faithful to lead you through anything you come against in the future.
Prone To Wander
Many of us have idols. We just don’t realize it. Ask yourself…
Where do I spend my time?
How do I use my talents?
Where do I spend my money?
What occupies my mind?
Where do I find my joy?
Be Humbled. Be On Guard. Trust The Process.
Peter’s life was radically changed by Jesus Christ.
All of Peter’s letter should be looked at under the lens of the sovereignty of God, especially 1 Peter 5:6-11.
The God of all grace is sovereign over salvation, suffering, life, death, and everything in between.
Peter exhorts the older in faith to shepherd the younger ones in the flock.
God rewards those who shepherd others in accordance with His will.
Younger Christians ought to submit to the wisdom of their elders.
Humility is not natural. We have to put it on.
Pride leaves no room for grace.
Allowing worry to captivate you is a form of submitting to pride.
Humility is a gift to be applied under the sovereignty of God’s mighty hand.
Be humbled.
Be on guard.
Trust the process.
The Way, The Truth, And The Life
Every book in the Bible reveals and points towards Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the center of time and sovereign over it.
We are all drawn to God because it is our created nature to be drawn to Him.
We were not created to be separated from God; separation is a result of sin.
Death and condemnation are our default settings because of sin.
It has always been God’s plan to save His people from their sins.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
The penalty of sin has been paid (Romans 5:8-11).
The power of sin has been disconnected (Romans 6:20-23).
The presence of sin will ultimately be removed (2 Peter 3:1-13).
We cannot walk two different directions at once; we are either walking towards sin or walking towards Jesus.
It is by God’s grace that we can repent and be reoriented towards Jesus.
God’s grace frees us from the penalty, power, and presence of sin.
It is by God’s grace that we are saved.
