One of the greatest lessons I learned is that I’m not responsible for how others decide to treat me. Decisions are something we control. When you decide to do something, you make a choice to do it, and that choice invokes a direction and/or a consequence.

I don't know about you, but there are certain songs that when I hear them, they resonate so closely to my heart. In the Bible, a “song” is a profound expression of the heart used for worship, celebration, lament, or instruction.

Have you ever felt like you needed to detox your body? Maybe you haven’t been eating right or even drinking enough water, and you just knew that you needed to cleanse your body.

I found that generosity is a gift that keeps giving. If you ever want to feel better quickly, the easiest way to do that is to be generous. Generosity expands to many things.

I believe God chooses Chosen Ones. They are the ones who lead their families. Some would call them matriarchs. For those, blessings may appear to be wrapped in battle.

Your purpose is not something you must invent, but something you were uniquely created to discover and walk out. “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” Proverbs 19:21.

So many people think that politics is the answer to humanity's problems, or the church is the answer to humanity’s problems, or even new laws or land borders are the answers to humanity’s problems.

Life has a way of becoming busy, hectic, stressful, and at times all-consuming. You may feel like you are being pulled and tugged in different directions.

Implementing prayer disciplines will transform your life. I truly believe people underestimate the power of prayer and the consequences of a lack of it. Your prayers are alive.

I was standing in line at the grocery store and I saw this magazine that read: The art of resilience, the guide to thriving in challenging times.

I believe that God predestined a plan for each and every one of us. I like to see that plan as a book. For some, the books are small, for others they may be novels, and for a few they may even be a series of books.

Closely signifies doing something with great care, like listening closely. It implies precision, intimacy, or very little space/time between. As I prayed about this word, I immediately saw the word jointly.

Matthew 7:21 is where Jesus warned, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom, but only the one who does the will of My Father.”

My son Jared’s birthday just passed. My emotions are flooded with a vast array of love, sadness, humor, and surprise. As I sit in all these emotions before God, I’m humbled by the radiant revelation of the one beautiful thing that rises above all things.

When something is shared, it means it’s joined. Today is Mother's Day and it’s also my son Jared’s birthday. My heart is flooded with so many beautiful and hard memories.

What happens when you add something to something? The easiest answer is, you increase it, you enlarge it, you enhance it. What does the word value mean according to the Bible?

What did you feel when you first read those words? It’s a great question to ask yourself. The apostle Paul writes: “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people, and His incomparably great power for us who believe.” Ephesians 1:18-19.
