Stepping Back Isn’t Staying Back

By Christina

imageSometimes you find yourself in places you know you left behind. 2015 was a tremendous year of transition, trials and triumph. Now we have set in place further goals as we begin the year of 2016. With that being said, when we have set these goals whether they are easily attainable or require hard work you may find some stepping back into the old.

Maybe it is disappointing, maybe it is trying you further, maybe it is not the progress you want to see happen rapidly but we must remember beyond the moment is the mandate. It is our eternal weight of glory that will make the difference.

For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 Continue reading

With this new year ahead of us, many are strongly seeking the improvement of things. Whether it is in relationships, a new job, working through finances, home, ministry or health–there is always room for improvement. Continue reading

One Direction

By Christina

imageI think many times in life in one form or another we have gone out of our way to get out of God’s way. Meaning we would be so up to our noses with addictions, struggles problems and sin that we could never find our own way back. We would have to be rescued by the One who had the only ability to do so.

But for choosing the “all in or nothing” lifestyle we would hit rock bottom every single time when we were headed in one direction! Because that direction would lead down to death.

There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
Proverbs 14:12
