Power of Love: Forgiveness
1 John 1:8-9 says, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."We can't love unconditionally, fully, or limitless if we are bond by unforgiveness. This means that if we hold grudges against those who cross us wrong, we are not loving as Christ calls us to do. If we practice forgiveness, I fully believe that God will extend His grace to us.

Book Corner: Breakthrough Faith Discussion
Welcome to our first week of discussing Larry Sparks book, "Breakthrough Faith: Living A Life Where Anything Is Possible". This week we are talking about chapters one through three.
The first three chapters touch base on faith in itself when it comes to being a Christian. While reading these chapters, the Faith in Action blog series came to mind. I touched base on a few of the mentioned points. I loved how the author puts it right to the point without sugar coating it. This is a book tha...

Power of Love: Limitless
The world can be a tough place to be. It's full of negativity and it's easy for people to hurt us or rub us the wrong way. It could be within the community during the work week, our family, friends, church, or even someone we encounter on an outing. Rude remarks can be exchanged. Someone could throw an insult while you're driving down the road. It could be someone who invaded our personal space. The encounters are limitless. However, regardless of any hurtful actions we encounter, it can...

Hanging with Larry Sparks
This Wednesday we will be starting our newest book for the book corner. However, I'd like to talk a bit more about the overall book and author. This book is a rather large one. Book Information:
We all experience the impossibilities of life, just like the four men in the Bible who sought Jesus’ healing touch for their paralyzed friend. The question is—how will you respond?
You have two options. You can accept your circumstances as God’s will and simply give up… or, you can break through an...

Book Corner: 'More Than' Discussion
Welcome to week seven, which is our final week discussingMore Than: Abandon Your Labels, Embrace Your Calling.
Chapter 8 is the final chapter and we talk about being a lion and not a poodle.
I'll be honest, the heading of this chapter threw me off when I first read it, but once I finished it I totally agree with it.
In this chapter, the author takes us on a small reminder for the final chapter. I enjoyed it.
"To remind you, to remind me, that we are so much more than our current circu...

The Power of Love: Unconditional
Unconditional love. Do you know the meaning of this...the true meaning?
Let's take a look at what the meaning of unconditional love is. It means to show affection without limitations or conditions. It's associated with true or complete love.
To love without conditions is a rare type of love that some believe takes a lifetime to find. Of course, if we have a relationship with Christ, we most certainly know how it feels to be loved unconditionally. Regardless of our past sins, Jesus lo...

Book Corner: 'More Than' Discussion
Welcome to the sixth week of our book discussion of More Than: Abandon Your Labels, Embrace Your Calling.
This week we read through Chapter 7, which we read about leaving behind our unnecessary luggage.
This chapter really had me thinking because I believe that I'm about to go into a new season of my life where I have to display and show my faith in God. I'm not a person who likes change or new things. As a matter of fact, I try my hardest to keep things normal and basic. Therefore, this c...

Power of Love: Christian Virtues
Jesus said, "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35).
We are commanded by Christ to love in more than one verse in the Bible. The instruction to love is mentioned approximately 16 or 17 times, depending on which Bible version you are using. In fact, loving as a Christian isn't just a feeling, it's actually a lifestyle we should take very seriously. Jesus said we should love Him with all of our heart, mind, and soul. He mentioned this...
