ADVOCATE
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 When two sides cannot come to an agreement face to face, it is time for the mediator to be brought in. The mediator will act as a bridge, perhaps as a go between for the two parties, or perhaps as a third-party perspective to find some means by which both sides can c

PATH-DRIVEN
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6, NKJV At the beginning of each new year, it is common for many people to make resolutions. This passage can be broken up into three resolutions with a single result.

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11, NIV Life is full of contrasts. We go over mountains, and we go through valleys. We celebrate over our successes, and we struggle through failures. We have wins and we have losses. In weather, there are four seasons. But in our lives, there are dozens of different seasons. And every season

WORDS FULL OF SPIRIT AND LIFE
John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63, NKJV Do we want others to experience the abundant life that Jesus came to earth, died, and was resurrected for so they might have it? This verse says the Spirit alone gives life. So my question is this: Is it our nature or God's nature flowing through us that is touching the people around us and the people who we hope will experience th

HEAVEN'S HARVEST
James 3:17-18 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 3:17-18, NIV Concerning the things that are considered to be smart or the right things to do, James reminds us that the wisdom from above is not at all like the wisdom of this world. God has told us that His ways are higher than our ways, as

HEAVENLY WISDOM
James 3:13-14 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. James 3:13-14, NIV There is a significant difference between true wisdom and false wisdom, between wisdom from above and the wisdom of the world. The world too often equates wisdom with knowledge while godly wisdom comes from

GENEROSITY
Proverbs 11:25 The generous soul will be made rich, and be who waters will also be watered himself. Proverbs 11:25, NKJV One of the greatest traits any of us can be known for is generosity. For believers in Jesus, our generosity should be patterned after God's. When we stop and think about just how generous God has been to us, it will truly amaze us. Romans 8:32 gives us a great understanding of God's generosity to us. It reads, "He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him

DIFFERENCE MAKERS
Isaiah 1:16-17 Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong. Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. Isaiah 1:16-17, NIV It's easy to say that you're a believer in Christ. The hard part is the follow-up that is expected when you make that proclamation to the world! How do we continue to be ourselves, the person whom everyone has known, and begin our journ

SECURED
Psalm 22:27-28 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORD's: and He is the governor among the nations. Psalm 22:27-28, KJV Strong's Concordance defines "governor" as one who rules or reigns; one to whom is given power and authority. The Bible makes this abundantly clear. So how does this affect us? In what ways can we find comfort in the fact that God is the govern

DO NOT GROW WEARY
Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9, NKJV Have you ever started something new, full of excitement, energy, and purpose, only to lose steam halfway through? Sometimes we don't even realize it's happening, but we start drifting from our goals and plans. Maybe the plans changed or the work was harder than we imagined. Maybe unforeseen obstacles presented themselves. Paul knew that many o
