God is Our Source



Make God Your Source of Approval

An epidemic of insecurity is stealing the joy of life from many people in our society and causing major problems in their relationships. Insecurity can have many negative effects on peoples lives.

Those who are insecure, often seek the approval of others to try to overcome their feeling of rejection and low self-esteem. They are approval addicts.

When we struggle with insecurity, only one thing will set us free - God's truth. The truth is that we don't need to struggle to get from others what God freely gives us: love acceptance, approval, security, worth and value. All these things can be found in a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father, not in any person or thing.

He is our Refuge, our High Tower, our Strength, our Stronghold in times of trouble and our Hiding place (see Psalm 9:9, 31:4, 32:7, 46:11). Our work, values acceptance and approval come from He. As long as we have those, we have the most valuable things in the world.

As you look to Him, you will be lifted to new levels of freedom, becoming the confident, mature person you were created to be.

Look to God for you security. Focus on the truth - He is your refuge and strength. In Him alone, you can be completely confident. He is the giver of love and acceptance




Be blessed and be a blessing!

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
