You Can't Have Both.

Brother and Sister, what is it? --- What is it that keeps you up at night...that makes you feel hideous and awful? What is it that you just cannot overcome? Is it sex, drugs, or alcohol?...Yea, they are the overused sins that people talk about, but they are REAL, and they may be real struggles in your life. Is it pornography, lustful thoughts, or your "fear of missing out" that makes you say YES to the things that rid you of your soul? Matthew 16:26 "And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?"   Is it the desire to feel wanted, so you give everything to the next girl or guy that shows a tiny bit of interest in you? Listen, that "interest" he or she shows will NEVER suffice to the interest Christ has for you. What is better than Him? Nothing. ---- This topic is not easy for a lot of people to face because they are ashamed or they think that their sin is not that big of a...

I spent years waiting and watching... I thought it was my fault. Everyday, during middle and high school, I looked in the mirror and thought, "What can I do differently today that I haven't done yet?

Girls spend majority of their time thinking about what they can do to impress the opposite sex. We try everything from a new hair cut, a new hair color, new clothes, or even a new personality. We will totally change who we are just to get them to turn their heads. I thought it was my fault that the boys didn't like me in "that way"...What did I not have that the other girls ha...

Doubt seeps into the cracks of my spirit, but Jesus fills in the gaps of my heart with His love. Doubt, the feeling of uncertainty, takes captive of my mind, but Jesus' truth destroys every thought.  Doubt shakes me, but Jesus holds me still with his nail-pierced hands. I have been given a sure peace that consumes me, but doubt still creeps into my mind.  Why do I question my Father? Why do I question His goodness? Why do I question if He has plucked me from His hand after He already showed me His mercy? When you feel swamped in doubt, go back to God's promise to Noah in Genesis 9:13-15. "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all the living creatures of every kind." God remembers us. Hold fast to the promises God has given us and continues to give us. He never...
