Living in the in between, becoming, but not quite there yet, old and new mixed together, hanging on with all my might to the One who is holding onto me.

What is true freedom?


Freedom means different things to different people. What does freedom mean to you?

God-breathed 34: Honoring God with Our Bodies


Through his life, death and resurrection, Jesus has saved all of us, both body and soul. Therefore, we honor him with our bodies.

God-breathed 30: The Power of the Gospel


The Gospel not only informs us, it transforms us.

God-breathed 24: The Holy Spirit Community


It is only in community that we can fully become the new person that God intends for us to be.

God-breathed 23: The Great Convincer


When we come the very end of all our personal resources, …we are driven into a deeper reliance on the Holy Spirit. In that deeper reliance, the Holy Spirit convinces us of the greater life we have in Jesus.

God-breathed 22: Our Advocate


The foundation of the comfort that Jesus gives is the triune nature of God.

God-breathed 21: New Life Through the Holy Spirit


We live in a time of great technology, but when it comes to the problems faced by humanity, we’ve got nothing. Humanity needs a new operating system, but where will we get it?

God-breathed 20: The Bread of Life


In a way, all of us are living in a giant Skinner box. We have various opportunities around us that we can choose to engage with or not. Some of these opportunities bring us pleasure, while others may bring us pain. …How do we decide what we should be feeding on?

Bread of Life, hunger, Jesus, new life, Skinner box

God-breathed 19: God Loved & Gave


It is not God who condemns us, it is our sin that condemns us. But Jesus has taken our sins away from us and given us new life in a new ship, and with him as our captain, he will safely pilot us to the safe harbor of the wonderful future he has in store for us. 

faith, forgiveness, Holy Spirit, Jesus, new life

God-breathed 18: Him They Did Not See


We all have ruling thoughts in our minds, and we all use those ruling thoughts to interpret what we see going on around us and inside of us. How do we know if the ruling beliefs in our minds are correct?
