Jesus is our anchor. An anchor is a large metal device, usually in the form of a hook, that sailors throw into the sea attached to their ship in order to hold themselves in place amidst the raging ocean. “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” - Isaiah 41:13 “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” - Colossians 1:17 Jesus holds us in place. The anchor is often seen as an immovable pie

He That is Faithful in Little… There is no job that is small, or of little significance, in the sight of God. You might have felt this in your own life; I’ve felt it lately myself. It seems like my task is insignificant and does nothing to further God’s kingdom, which is the kind of task I want to be a part of. However, someone told me that there are no “just” jobs in God’s eyes, and that changed the way I look at things. If God gives you something to sweep, sweep it for His

As Christians, it is Biblical to expect persecution for our belief in Jesus Christ. In Matthew, our Savior gives us a clear picture of this ideology, and in the letter to Timothy, Paul reaffirms it. Matthew 24:9: “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.” 2 Timothy 3:12: “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,” The price for salvation has been paid, but

Communication is a super important part of any Christians walk with God and their fellow Christians. The definition of communication is the process of exchanging information, ideas, thoughts and feelings from one person or group to another. I believe that in every action we can take, there is a way to do it best, well, and righteously. We are to glorify God with everything we do, according to Colossians. Some great Bible verses explaining the importance of correct speech are:

Who is someone that you would want to meet face to face? Is it a sports athlete, a movie star, a business guru, or some other person that would make you excited to meet? If we get excited and even intimidated by meeting people we admire, imagine how we will feel when we see God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, face to face! 1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully

I know I had said that I was done talking about peace, but I'm not done talking about peace! There is at least one more lesson that I think we can draw on peace, so here it is. The lesson about peace today is that as Godly men, it is important for us to try and find a wife that brings us peace or is a peaceful person. Being peaceful is something specific and special to wives that I think is overlooked a lot of times in the Bible. “Your beauty should not come from outward ador

Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Last week we looked at being kind to others, and that kindness is shown in our speech and in our actions. This week we will discuss what it means to be tenderhearted and forgiving. Having a heart that is tender means a heart that is full of compassion and quick to be merciful to others. Christ is the perfect example of this. Often, we see the phrase, “He had compassion

Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” God’s Word has much to say about our relationship to other believers and to those who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. In this devotional let us look at what it means to be “kind to one another.” What ways can we be kind or show kindness in our lives? There are two ways we can demonstrate kindness: speech, whether spoken or written, and actions. In

Psalm 117 says “Praise the Lord, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!” What an amazing Savior we have! So often we are carried away by the business of life, consumed with the attractions of this world, and nullified by the effects of sin in our own lives. Yet, we must make the conscious choice to turn our attention and adoration to Christ. Isaiah 26:3-4 says “You keep

Productivity is essential for the christian life. We aren’t made to sit around all day spending our time on nothing of value. God wants us to be working, building, creating, and ultimately imitating His character. God gave us values of creativity, artistic abilities, physical strength, mental strength, and all these things are meant to be used. Whether that’s at a 9-5 job, DIY projects, building a ministry, investing in your church, or anything else, God wants us to work like
