promises, promises

Claim promises that the Bible gives us about our great and gracious God. There are so many promises in the Bible, but here are a few that remind me of faith, the strength of our God and how we can stay strong as a follower of Jesus.

Read on. Take note of what is important to you…

Psalm 27:1 NASB

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?

How do you deal with fear?

Daniel 10:19 NASB

He said, “O man of high esteem, do not be afraid. Peace be with you; take courage and be courageous!” Now as soon as he spoke to me, I received strength and said, “May my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

Be strong because of real strength.

Acts 3:19 NASB

Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

Do you need to be refreshed?

Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

What stands out to you? What is important to you from the promises of God?

These verses remind us that God is always with us, God is the one who gives us strength, God stays with us always, God is ready to refresh us as we return to Him, and God reminds us that fear has no place in our lives.

Check in on these promises and more. Apply real promises from God to your life!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit.

It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.

Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.

It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
