19 – Faith

But in your great mercy, you did not abandon them to die in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud still led them forward by day, and the pillar of fire showed them the way through the night .

Nehemiah 9:19 NLT

Faith For Family\n

Have you lost hope that your kids or grandkids will get saved? Take heart!\n

My good friend, Pastor Jim Maxwell, preached a sermon called \u201cThe Other Side of the Mountain.\u201d In it, he gave an amazing account of a blessing that comes from the heart of King David. That blessing that was inside David outlived him and went to his kids. Fifty-six years after David made a special covenant with God, the Bible says his son, Solomon, who was now king, had turned from the Lord. Now, this was the man God had given everything to \u2013 the holy city of Jerusalem, His chosen people, great wisdom, and the privilege of building the temple. Solomon had turned away, and God was upset!\n

In 1 Kings 11:12, God tells Solomon, \u201cI ought to kill you and devastate your kingdom, but I will not because of your daddy, David.\u201d That same covenant rang true 27 years later when Solomon\u2019s grandson, Abijah, turned from the Lord, and 315 years after the death of David, when God delivered King Hezekiah and Jerusalem from the Assyrians \u2013 all because of a covenant with David.\n

If you remain in covenant with Him, I believe God will do the same thing for you. Stand in the gap for your children and grandchildren. Give eternal life to 1,000 generations. Love Jesus and keep His commands. David\u2019s faith outlived his life. So will yours!\n

\u201cTherefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments\u2026\u201d \u2013 Deuteronomy 7:9","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Faith For Family

I know that my walk with Jesus is paving the way for my family to come to Him. I am focused on staying on the Lord’s path. I continually renew my covenant with Him, and remain faithful to the things unseen, for they are eternal.

18– Life More Abundantly (+) The Bondage of Sin (-)

But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed. Psalms 9:18 NLT

Expect Life Abundant\n

Brownsville is an extreme place, like most border towns. I love places like this because that\u2019s where God can do radical things. One night, He took us across the border to the city of Matamoros and into a tiny church. The people looked suspicious of us until the Holy Spirit began to move through the praise music we were playing. During worship, people cried, shook, and lifted their hands to God in surrender. The sermon went out the window. It was a radical time of brokenness before the Lord. Many were shouting at the top of their lungs, and God began to do His thing.\n

Finally, the pastor took the microphone and began to tell of people who had been cured of sickness and disease as they praised. Then, as an old woman walked up to the microphone, the crowd became suddenly quiet.\n

She had gone to this church since she was a child. She lost her eyesight as a teenager due to undiagnosed diabetes. She had been blind for decades. Then, she said the Holy Spirit came upon her in an unusual way. She began to see a vision, then realized it wasn\u2019t a vision at all. She could see!\n

\u201cYou know that I am blind,\u201d she said. Then, with God as my witness, she began pointing to people in the crowd. \u201cIf I am blind, how can I see you? And you. And you\u2026\u201d We literally saw blind eyes opened through praise and worship! None of us preached, called down healing, or laid a hand on her. No man can take credit for what God has done. Sometimes a special move of God isn\u2019t taught, it\u2019s caught!\n

Any time I\u2019ve been tempted to doubt God\u2019s healing power, I think back to that night in Matamoros when a woman was healed of blindness by God.\n

I wonder how many times the devil tried to stop her from going to church that night. If she had played that card, she would still be blind. Instead, she was in the house of God, expecting that something would happen.\n

17– Overcoming Victory

For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth.” Romans 9:17 NLT

Here, Now\n

Time is a pretty cool thing. Our heavenly Father lives in eternity where there is no beginning, middle or end. It\u2019s all happening at once. When He made men, He knew eternity would blow our limited minds, so He created this thing called time.\n

See, God designed time for our protection, so we don\u2019t get overwhelmed. God knew we could only handle life in 24-hour chunks. \u201c. . And that was the morning and the evening of the first day.\u201d Genesis 1:5\u00a0 See, God even tells us at the end of each day of creation, that He did it in literal 24-hour days, but that\u2019s not the point here.\n

The point is, for us, time is a reality. For Father God, it\u2019s relative \u2013 and that\u2019s a good thing. If you are going after spiritual and relational upgrade, the Bible says \u201cseek and you shall find.\u201d It doesn\u2019t say how long that will take.\n

For some of us who are easily sidetracked, it can take a long time. But get this: God doesn\u2019t care if it takes a long time for you to find the things you are searching for and the identity He has for you. He didn\u2019t create it to be found all at once. He loves the time you spend with Him in the process of getting to the next level!\n

Yes, it\u2019s a process, and He made it that way. He gave us time so that everything doesn\u2019t happen at once and freak us out. Time is a safe place for the redemptive work of Jesus where the sins of our present can be buried in the past.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

God is taking me through a process. I don’t worry about what will happen next, because I know He is on His throne. I am enjoying God right where I am. He wants to spend time with me, and I love His presence.

Next Level Life

.Steeped in the Word

September 16, 2025 – 09/16/2025

9 – Fruit Bearing (+) Judgment (-)

16 – The Love of God

So it is God who decides to show mercy.

We can neither choose it nor work for it. Romans 9:16 NLT

Next Level Life\n

This is what\u2019s real: you have the God-given ability to arrest every thought at every stage of development. You can also advance those thoughts to the next level. Just because you are aware of a subject, does not mean you have to entertain thoughts about it into the advanced stages \u2013 that\u2019s where trouble becomes manifest.\n

Remember what Paul wrote to the Corinthians:\n

\u201cFor if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.\u201d \u2013 1 Corinthians 11:31\n

For example, you can be aware of the fact that you don\u2019t have the money to pay your bills without having a mental breakdown. If you entertain that thought and let your mind revolve around it, it will absolutely advance into things more painful. You will panic at the endless \u201cI should have,\u201d \u201cwhat if,\u201d and \u201cwhat about\u201d scenarios that will crowd your mind.\n

I should never have bought that new phone! What if they repossess my car? What about my credit? What if they turn off my electricity? These thoughts will fill your head with strife and your body with tension. It will inevitably show up in some nasty behavior or malicious outburst, and the downward spiral has begun.\n

First off, when you ask \u201cwhat if,\u201d the mental picture you are conjuring up is in the future \u2013 worry \u2013 and doesn\u2019t include Jesus. If He\u2019s the same yesterday, today, and forever, He is there in your future, so \u201cwhat if\u201d thoughts need to be cast down!\n

\u201cCommit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established.\u201d Proverbs 16:3\n

How do you stop before your thoughts become worries, and those worries become actions? Be aware of the thought\u2019s potential and judge it accordingly. At the moment you become aware that a thought wants dominion over your thinking, discern whether it\u2019s from God. If it\u2019s not, verbally commit your thinking to Jesus. Praise and thank Him for the answers yet to come.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Praise and thank Him for the answers yet to come.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

I crush the lies the enemy throws at me by praising God and worshipping Jesus. When I replace wrong thoughts with praise and worship, I will always overcome! My Lord is perfect in all His ways and is faithful to provide, sustain, and guide me. I put my faith in Him alone.

Bring A Friend to Heaven

15 – Rest & Overcoming Death

That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant. Hebrews 9:15 NLT

Bring A Friend to Heaven\n

Paul was the elite of the Jewish people. Good family, top-notch religious education \u2013 his pedigree was beyond compare. He left it all to follow the Jewish carpenter whose death he helped call for. He became one of the men he tried to stamp out.\n

Paul traded earthly comfort and notoriety for Roman beatings, imprisonment, shipwrecks, exiles, hunger, thirst, and stoning \u2013 yes, the brother was stoned by an angry mob and lived to tell about it! Did Paul hate his captors? Did he revile the soldiers who whipped him or pray against those hurling rocks and calling for his death?\n

There is no record that Paul did anything but love and try to bring the Gospel of Jesus to those who spitefully persecuted him. Why? Because that was his destiny. Guess what? That\u2019s your destiny, too!\n

Your purpose on this earth is not to make a lot of money, have a nice house, go on vacations with your kids, and show up at church on Sundays. Your purpose is to bring people with you into the Kingdom of Heaven.\u00a0 At the end of your life, do you want a big finish, or do you want to go out in a whimper of regret? Paul went out with a bang, and he didn\u2019t go alone!\n

\u201cI have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day \u2013 and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.\u201d\u00a0 2 Timothy 4:7-8\n

Paul wasn\u2019t only concerned about his big finish, he was also concerned about yours. You see, it wasn\u2019t all about him, and he knew it. For Paul, just as it was for Jesus, it was about you and me.\n

Is it just about you, or is it about making an impact for the Kingdom by sharing the Gospel? For me, it\u2019s about impact. I\u2019m determined not to show up in Heaven alone. Join me! Snatch someone from Hell today.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Did Paul hate his captors? Did he revile the soldiers who whipped him or pray against those hurling rocks and calling for his death?

There is no record that Paul did anything but love and try to bring the Gospel of Jesus to those who spitefully persecuted him. Why? Because that was his destiny. Guess what? That’s your destiny, too!

Your purpose on this earth is not to make a lot of money, have a nice house, go on vacations with your kids, and show up at church on Sundays. Your purpose is to bring people with you into the Kingdom of Heaven.  At the end of your life, do you want a big finish, or do you want to go out in a whimper of regret? Paul went out with a bang, and he didn’t go alone!

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”  2 Timothy 4:7-8

Paul wasn’t only concerned about his big finish, he was also concerned about yours. You see, it wasn’t all about him, and he knew it. For Paul, just as it was for Jesus, it was about you and me.

Is it just about you, or is it about making an impact for the Kingdom by sharing the Gospel? For me, it’s about impact. I’m determined not to show up in Heaven alone. Join me! Snatch someone from Hell today.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

Jesus died to save my life, so I want Him to live through me. I am intentional about reaching out to share the good news about Jesus so others can know Him, too. I  look forward to receiving my crown of righteousness and watching others receive theirs.

Transforming Goodness

.Steeped in the Word

September 14, 2025 – 09/14/2025

9 – Fruit Bearing (+) Judgment (-)

14 – Generational Promises & The Fear of the Lord

Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you? John 14:9 NLT

Transforming Goodness\n

I think a lot of God\u2019s goodness skips off us the way a meteor deflects off our atmosphere. We go on to the next thing without any kind of dedication to contemplation or meditation. It\u2019s business as usual.\n

Instead of thinking God thoughts, we worry and swat at anxiety with all our mental muscle. Worry, however, is a trap. Worry is about the future. As God is eternal, He is already in the future, so there\u2019s no need to worry. It just becomes another distraction from the goodness that passes before us throughout our day.\n

In my experience, the gravity pull of our broken hearts will bring God\u2019s goodness screaming into our day, lighting up our sky and illuminating the darkness we find ourselves in. When that happens, the impact is thunderous and completely alters the geography of our lives.\n

This is called transformation, and transformation begins with goodness. If we want to move to higher levels of encounter with Jesus, we must learn to recognize God\u2019s goodness, no matter how small or brief, throughout our day.\n

Be a magnet for good! Look for it. Demonstrate it. Sing of it and pass it along!\u00a0\n

\u201cI call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search.\u201d Psalm 77:6","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Transforming Goodness

Invade My Soul, Lord

.Steeped in the Word

September 13, 2025 – 09/13/2025

9 – Fruit Bearing (+) Judgment (-)

13 – Rebellion

Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Matthew 9:13 NLT

Invade My Soul, Lord\n

The greatest of all commandments was made clear on a bright sunny day some 2,000 years ago. Jesus said to him, \u201cYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.\u201d This is the first and great commandment. \u2013 Matthew 22:37-38\n

Jesus said it then, and He is saying it now: your No. 1 priority is to love God not just in your physical actions, but in your mental and emotional lives.\n

After knowing the mess that\u2019s been in my head, it\u2019s hard for me to imagine Jesus would want anything to do with my mind and emotions. However, He does!\n

He is willing to step into your thoughts and, piece by piece, item by item, remove the clutter and straighten out the disorder. And there is plenty of disorder in your mind, isn\u2019t there?\u00a0 It\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, Jesus removes all the shame from your actions, thoughts, and emotions.\u00a0 He\u2019s just awesome that way!\n

He is faithful in serving you, so you should be faithful in serving Him. When you serve Him with your love for His glory and not your own, He can invade your soul.\n

Do you want it? Do you want Jesus to invade your soul, change your thinking, and shower you with the love of God? He will if you let Him.\n

\u202fFor\u202f\u201cwho has known the mind of the\u202fLord\u202fthat he may instruct Him?\u201d\u202fBut we have the mind of Christ.\u202fFor\u202f\u201cwho has known the mind of the\u202fLord\u202fthat he may instruct Him?\u201d\u202fBut we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

He is so good to me! I submit everything to Him so He can change the things that need changing and strengthen the weak places. I am grateful that He is decluttering my mind and aligning my thoughts with His. The desire of my heart is to bring glory to Him.

He is the Captain

9 – Fruit Bearing (+) Judgment (-)

12 – Perfect Government

When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.” Matthew 9:12 NLT

He is the Captain\n

It\u2019s the nature of the unredeemed mind to always be looking back. Jesus mentioned this when He spoke of Lot\u2019s wife; even He didn\u2019t mention her name, not a good sign.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to be like her. I want to look forward. I want to go further and dream big dreams.\n

The Pharisees were the dream killers of Jesus\u2019 day. Jesus called them out on it when He told them they loved their rules more than they loved God.\n

\u201cWoe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.\u201d Matthew 23:27-28\n

Ouch! So if you see somebody today doing everything within their power to put you in a religious box, know they are the very same kind of person who nailed Jesus to a board and hung Him up naked to die. For your sake, run from these people. For our sake, run them over!\n

While I believe without apology the church of Jesus Christ is the only boat afloat, I also believe many of us on board don\u2019t understand the heart of the Captain. He, like His Kingdom, is progressive. His Kingdom is without end. There are no limitations.\n

As long as people make methods and the function of church programs their priority, they are missing the boat. They are missing a relationship with a loving, powerful, and just heavenly Father, and the chance to love others into the Kingdom.\n

Be a person who doesn\u2019t look back. Let Jesus propel you forward into a life of adventure and responsibility. Let Him weave your dreams with His dreams for you, together into a life that changes the world and brings lost people into eternity.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Rising Up Out of the Mess

But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God. This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes. Romans 9:11 NLT

Rising Up Out of the Mess\n

When my kids were taking their first steps and they fell after only a few inches, I didn\u2019t scold them and tell them not to fall down again. No. I clapped and cheered, celebrated and shouted, \u201cCheck that out. He took a step. He\u2019s moving forward! Isn\u2019t that amazing!\u201d\n

The point is not that they fell when they were trying to walk, but that they were actually doing it. When good daddies (and mommies) celebrate these baby steps, their kids not only learn to walk and run, but to fly. You learned to move forward because you hadn\u2019t learned to fear failure. Picture your daddy giving you an ice cream cone. When he does, he is not telling you not to make a mess. He already knows there is going to be a mess, and he is confident that he can handle the cleanup. Isn\u2019t that great to know?\n

If you fear your mess will bring disapproval, you\u2019ll never take that first bite even though he purchased it and handed it to you. This is where a lot of people are today, afraid to go after upgrade and chase the heart of God for fear of disappointing Him. Is that you? If it is, remember the old hymn: \u201cCome just as you are\u2026\u201d\n

God Alone is Good

Steeped in the Word

September 10, 2025 – 09/10/2025

9 – Fruit Bearing (+) Judgment (-)

10 – Perfect Order

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. Proverbs 9:10 NLT 

God Alone is Good\n

God hates it when we call evil \u201cgood.\u201d When goodness is not celebrated and vanity is worshipped, drought and judgment are the result.\n

\u201c\u2026You have polluted the land with your harlotries and your wickedness. Therefore, the showers have been withheld, and there was been no latter rain. You have had a harlot\u2019s forehead; You refuse to be ashamed.\u201d \u2013 Jeremiah 3:2-3\n

It\u2019s amazing that just one month after America celebrated the lie of Bruce Jenner becoming a woman whose new name, Caitlyn, means \u201cpure,\u201d it was announced by Scientific American magazine that California was suffering from the greatest drought in recorded history.\n

In the article, writer Dan Baum said the \u201cdrought is transforming California in almost every conceivable way: meteorologically, geologically, biologically, agriculturally, socially, economically and politically.\u201d\n

Yes, when you pollute the land with harlotries and refuse to be ashamed, it brings a game-changing drought.\u00a0 It\u2019s a rehash of 1 Kings 17-18, the sins of King Ahab and his idol-worshipping queen, Jezebel, a name that means \u201cnot exalted.\u201d\n

God cursed Israel with a devastating drought when Ahab and Jezebel led the nation into full-fledged worship of Baal and Asherah. A false god and goddess made in the image of men\u2019s evil hearts, Baal and Asherah demanded the sacrifice of children, sexual immorality and the rape of women.\n

The prophet Elijah warned the king of God\u2019s displeasure. When Ahab, weakened by his dark queen, refused to be ashamed and turn from wickedness, God sent judgment.\u00a0 Drought and famine hit like a hammer. Three years and many lives later, Elijah, proving once and for all that Baal was a false god by calling down fire from heaven, brought the disaster to an end. The people repented, and rain drenched the land.\n

Are you prepared for a drought of goodness in America? It\u2019s already here. Goodness is seen as evil, and Christians are quickly becoming the enemy. Fear not! Do good anyway!","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">God Alone is Good

God hates it when we call evil “good.” When goodness is not celebrated and vanity is worshipped, drought and judgment are the result.

“…You have polluted the land with your harlotries and your wickedness. Therefore, the showers have been withheld, and there was been no latter rain. You have had a harlot’s forehead; You refuse to be ashamed.” – Jeremiah 3:2-3

It’s amazing that just one month after America celebrated the lie of Bruce Jenner becoming a woman whose new name, Caitlyn, means “pure,” it was announced by Scientific American magazine that California was suffering from the greatest drought in recorded history.

In the article, writer Dan Baum said the “drought is transforming California in almost every conceivable way: meteorologically, geologically, biologically, agriculturally, socially, economically and politically.”

Yes, when you pollute the land with harlotries and refuse to be ashamed, it brings a game-changing drought.  It’s a rehash of 1 Kings 17-18, the sins of King Ahab and his idol-worshipping queen, Jezebel, a name that means “not exalted.”

God cursed Israel with a devastating drought when Ahab and Jezebel led the nation into full-fledged worship of Baal and Asherah. A false god and goddess made in the image of men’s evil hearts, Baal and Asherah demanded the sacrifice of children, sexual immorality and the rape of women.

The prophet Elijah warned the king of God’s displeasure. When Ahab, weakened by his dark queen, refused to be ashamed and turn from wickedness, God sent judgment.  Drought and famine hit like a hammer. Three years and many lives later, Elijah, proving once and for all that Baal was a false god by calling down fire from heaven, brought the disaster to an end. The people repented, and rain drenched the land.

Are you prepared for a drought of goodness in America? It’s already here. Goodness is seen as evil, and Christians are quickly becoming the enemy. Fear not! Do good anyway!

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

I am leaving mistakes and disappointments behind. I prepare for a new day; I bring everything to the feet of Jesus. My heart is full of repentance, and I am submitted to Him. I am covered by the blood of Jesus, am washed clean, and stand ready to be a vessel of the goodness of God to pour out into the world around me.
