The Definition of Love
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Hope For Mental Health Pt. I
"You’re not good enough. You’re too much. You’re hard to be around. You’re trying to get attention. You bring me down. You don’t love Jesus enough. If you have depression, you are not a Christian."
Unfortunately, these phrases are commonplace not just in the world, but in the heart of the modern day church. The place that’s supposed to be a haven of safety, for some, becomes a breeding ground of insecurity.
Overcoming A Tough Time
Everyone goes through hard times, at different times and for different reasons. Jesus even told us we would have troubles in this life (John 16:33). Maybe for you, something happened that you weren’t expecting. Maybe you’re confused as to what God is doing in your life. Maybe for whatever reason, things are just plain hard.
Choosing God Over Idols
How can we daily choose to put God first above everything else?
Might we look to the faith of individuals in our lives, those documented from history and the Biblical texts to gain encouragement and wisdom from their convictions in the Spirit.

Refined By Fire
“Good morning sweet boy," I said as I smiled at my son. It was a typical morning, waking up to fresh air and thinking about what God would have for me. I was preparing for my day as usual. I had been loving the mornings; sweet time with the Lord and running early so I could set the pace for the rest of the day.
