People can be cruel, and Satan is always cruel to us. But when we call upon God, when we lean upon Him, and when we trust in Him, He will rescue us from the deepest waters.

Grieving the Goodbyes…Again
I drove away from our church pondering the reality that I may never see him or his family again. I can’t remember specific events that impacted me so much. I just know that he and his family have impacted my church and desired to help us grow closer to God. He wasn’t supposed to leave so soon. He was supposed to stay at my church forever…right?

How to Stay Hopeful When Christmas Is Over
So much preparation was needed for Christmas, and now it's over. But honestly, the preparation wasn’t the hard part. The gift-buying, cookie-baking, tree-decorating, and light-stringing weren't difficult compared to this.
5 Great Resources for You
I hope you can use these resources in your own life and share them with others. Happy watching, reading, and listening!
How to Deal with Negative Emotions
I felt completely helpless to change my circumstances, but I also felt so far from God. I struggled to appropriately deal with the negative emotions that I felt—probably because I craved constant happiness and believed that I was entitled to it. I couldn't see a way out of the downward spiral that my life had become.
Wishing Our Woes Away
His grace is enough. His power lives in us when we boast of our weaknesses. We can be satisfied living with struggles because He makes us strong when we are weak. Knowing this won’t make your troubles go away. It won’t make the stress of a math test or an irritating co-worker vanish into thin air. It won’t remove the pain from a health problem or from losing a loved one. But without this truth, we are hopeless.
For the Cowardly and Conceited
I believe that everything in life—especially the Christian’s life—is a balance. There’s a balance between being unwilling to use our gifts from God and being too willing to use them. You know what I mean by “too willing.” Basically, it means having an egotistical, superior attitude. Which category do you fit into?
Why It Is What It Is
He began a good work in you, and He isn’t a quitter. He’s not going to stop working in you now, friend. Your situation is happening for a reason, and that may be the only thing you can know until we go to heaven. So try to hang in there, persevere through the darkest days, and always have hope in our Almighty God.
