Advent is a time of "active waiting"-- allowing God the time and the space to turn our hearts back toward Himself and refocus our live on the Christ child in the manger.

No matter what your experience or your story is, your identity in Christ can be the same as that of everyone else who has Him.

Gratitude is not based on what's going on around us, but it is built upon who is living in us.

Jesus shares the story of Lazarus and the rich man to teach us several truths about the place called Hell.

No matter what your experience or your story is, your identity in Christ can be the same as that of everyone else who has Him.

Even when it seems that God is silent, we can still praise Him even in the midst of pain and uncertainty and injustice.

God has not left us. He has not forsaken us. He loves us.

You can give with confidence knowing God will keep His word to meet all your needs and honor your obedience.

You can never drift far enough away from God to stop His love for you.

Giving is a response to grace. The ultimate motivation for our giving should be to give ourselves to the Lord.
