Have you ever asked God to take care of a situation, but then found yourself holding on to it so tightly you got in His way? I sure have. I’ve prayed for various situations and then tried to fix them myself. Not a good idea. I saw a great example of that when my son was in elementary school. Read more...

How would you answer Bert’s question? - Today Can Be Different

Every bad decision we made years, months, days – or even minutes – ago affects us (and possibly those we share life with). We may never know how much our actions steal from us and others around us. Choosing to obey God’s directions can be hard, but not as hard as living with the consequences of sin. This is why I’m forever thankful God is in the business of redemption. While this doesn’t mean He’ll remove the consequences of our choices, it does mean that, after we repent, we can move forward with a clean heart.
