God’s Timing is Perfect!
It absolutely amazes me that God is a God of timing! Although He’s not subject to time, He works within time to fulfill His purposes. There was a “right time” for Jesus to be sent to the earth. Although He existed in eternity, God’s wisdom sent Him at just the right time. He was not…

Childhood Memories of Advent
For as long as I can remember back, as a child, our family observed Advent: the preparation of the days leading up to the celebration of Christmas; Christ’s birth.

Identity in Christ; It’s More Than Security, It’s Ownership!
Why do we allow what has happened to us to become our identity? We drown in the failure of others to affirm or love us as we constantly struggle with the truth that we are loved and accepted by God. Unable to assimilate that His approval is the only approval that matters. We let our past, our failures and mistakes…
