    Nose off the Grindstone

    A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously...

    Surrounded By Grace

    Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever. Psalm 125:2 NLT These days, in an age where freedom is considered the supreme goal, the idea of walls often stands for confinement or limitation. When we can’t communicate well with others, we say...

    Hearing Your Good Shepherd

    Set Free From Judgment

    For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. Romans 14:7-8 NKJV As a Christian, you are not your own, so how you live and die should bring glory to...

    Remembering Who’s In Charge

    Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. Romans 13:1-2 NLT Paul raises a...

    Dying to Live

    How sweet are Your words to my taste, [Sweeter] than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. Psalm 119:103-104 NKJV How hard is it to find a trustworthy news source these days? Many outlets seem to favor falsehood over facts, politics...

    A Leader Worth Following

    Remember me, my God, for good, [according to] all that I have done for this people. Nehemiah 5:19 NKJV Nehemiah took care of his people.

    Right Tool for the Job

    Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon. Nehemiah 4:17 NKJV Sometimes our enemies are people who harass and oppose us, but at all times, our true enemies are spiritual...

    Free to Succeed

    I used to wander off until you disciplined me; but now I closely follow your word. ... My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver. Psalm 119:67, 71-72 NLT Most people have...

    Holding Our Breath

    For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 NKJV No one looking at the world can deny that it’s broken. People are divided, nature is rebelling, hope is fading. Can any of this ever be fixed...

    Slipping Sin’s Grip

    O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:24-25 NKJV We all have moments, even as longtime believers in Christ, where our...

    Hope Won’t Let You Down

    We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. Romans 5:3 NLT Even though the promise of the gospel is familiar, it’s still underrated. Jesus freely gives us peace with God so that we can enjoy the peace of God. It’s so beautifully...
