Boundaries Are Biblical

Many people believe boundaries push others away.In reality, healthy boundaries often preserve relationships.Without them, resentment grows. Exhaustion builds. Eventually, we have nothing left to give.

Why Does My Body React Before My Mind?

Trauma isn't only about what happened to us.It's also about what happened inside our nervous system because of what happened.Sometimes the danger ends, but our body never gets the message.

Addiction

I’m fighting this addiction, But I can’t lose my breath. I know you’re going under, But I keep moving one more step.

Tear down the walls,You hide behind,Make sure they fall,You're no longer blind.

The Idol

This brazen little idol,Made of glass and wires.Lights up my night, As I burn the midnight fires.

Refined

God didn’t bring you this far in life, Only now to suddenly let you fall.

Looking Back

If we always look into the past instead of moving forward, we may feel anger, hurt, and bitterness about the life we expected to have but don't. Looking back at the past when God tells us precisely to move on could harden us, just like it did Lot's wife. We might feel that betrayal and bitterness continue to grow if we keep looking back. It hardens us.

God Reigns Supreme

I think chaos is still a problem in the world. As Timothy K. Beal pointed out in his book Religion and It’s Monsters, “Perhaps it takes a chaos monster to kill a chaos monster.” Beal describes the way monsters are lurking in the biblical texts, put there by God himself. Did God create chaos, or did it come because of the fall?

Voices from everywhere, Tell me what’s what.They say what I should think,Some tell me what I should not

THE AWAKENING

When I was thinking about this verse, I thought about how I feel lying in bed with my eyes closed. If, someone turns the light on, this creates an urgency to open my eyes. I need to find the source of that light and see what is happening.

This is Me

As Christians that is our role. We must realize that life happens to us all. All people hurt others. Sometimes they can’t help it. When they sling bullets it’s due to their own pain. We must move past it and reach out for someone else who is hurting and save them.

Your Story Matters

"So, what's your story?" I heard the man ask the girl sitting in the corner booth of the coffee shop. I glanced up from my cinnamon coffee and devotional book to see what she would say.
