The last few weeks have been hard for me. I’ve been praying for a way out of this valley and that God would deliver me on the other side. I found myself trying to satisfy my timing rather than waiting on God’s. Maybe if I work hard enough, I’ll get to where I desire to …
We abide in a world that serves itself above God and wants personal satisfaction within worship instead of using worship as a time to glorify God. Personal preferences have caused deviation from God’s truth. Instead of holding firm to the foundation of God’s Word, churches have begun to accommodate and adapt to a changing world. …
A few years ago, I used to have one foot in the world. I lived on a tightrope of knowing God and craving the world. I would sit in a church pew and pretend to have it all together. At some point along the way, I lost sight of why I was sitting in …

The world will make you promises. Promises that say it can give you everything you want. Everything you think you need. It’ll fill your desires in small increments to build tolerance– making it easier to say yes to the next time the world tempts you. The world makes you believe it has all the answers. …
