You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the fatherContinue reading “Don’t Believe the Lie!”

Paid in Full
I find immense hope and optimism in the grace of God. It is extremely relieving to know that God, our sovereign and eternally just Heavenly Father, has a heart filled with mercy and grace for His creation that has spent a lifetime blatantly disobeying Him. I deserve punishment, not grace. God has done so muchContinue reading “Paid in Full”
List of Demands
What have you done for God? So often, we get caught up in this mindset that tells us the Lod is our provider, so He NEEDS TO PROVIDE NOW!

I would respond with something like, “Life hasn’t been kind,” or I would blame God for being so hard on me. There was always something preventing me from achievingContinue reading “Get Out Of Your Way”
How Well Do YOU Know YOU?
How much do you know about yourself? How well do YOU know YOU? As Christ led me in my recovery, He showed me that this journey isn’t about recovery, but about discovery. Discovering who He created me to be and who I believe I am. We live in a culture overly obsessed with other people.Continue reading “How Well Do YOU Know YOU?”
Difficult Questions
When I was in rehab, I had to ask myself a gang of questions. Two of the most difficult were “Do I want things to be different?” and “Am I willing to do what it takes to get a different result?” For years, I complained about my life and how things were going for me.Continue reading “Difficult Questions”
Walking WITH Christ
God is working on you, but are you working on yourself? We say God is working on us, but we must also work on ourselves. God is not responsible for our bad habits or limiting beliefs. We have been lazy and practicing bad nutritional habits, not God. Yes, God is most definitely working on us,Continue reading “Walking WITH Christ”
