Moment In The Word - Self Compassion
We need to rebuild our concept of ourselves. Because God is compassionate toward us, we must also learn to be compassionate toward ourselves. But beware-self-compassion is not easy for someone who is shame-based. It is difficult to grasp the concept, but it can be done. It takes practice. It takes self-awareness, intentional correction of our negative thinking, and consistent intake of affirmations to keep us thinking about ourselves in entirely new ways. We can’t just say it. We must drive it deeply into our psyches so that we feel it. Our bodies and emotions need to become believers. We need to come against the lies about ourselves; we need to resist the emotional triggers that will cause us to slip back into shame, thinking about what we should have done, and self-loathing. It takes the power of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and fellowship with other believers to grasp and practice this new reality. Today, love yourself the way God loves you. Walk in that freedom.

Moment In The Word - Fear No More
Переглядів 614 днів тому
Fear comes in different shapes and sizes. To be sure, there are full-blown phobias and crippling fears that can interrupt our life, but for most of us, fear is more insidious. Fears of rejection, insignificance, and abandonment may not interrupt our lives, but they can influence how we think and act. You see, either faith or fear constantly shapes our thoughts, motives, and behaviors. The Psalm...
Moment In The Word - Shine The Light
Переглядів 714 днів тому
What is the purpose of light? It is to invade the darkness. That’s right. We often fear that darkness will overcome us, but the truth is darkness does not have power. It does not attack us. Darkness can only happen when light is absent. So, what have we done with the light that God has given us? Do we put it on the hill so all can see? Do we go to the darkest places and let the light of love an...
Moment In The Word - I Am Slipping
Переглядів 314 днів тому
Have you ever lost your footing? My son Nathan did. I went climbing a small rock with my two oldest boys. Nathan was rising above me. He was almost to the top of our little climb when his foot slipped. I was below on a ledge, and as Nathan came sliding down the face, I was able to catch him. We hugged and I helped him back up where he completed the climb. I went with him the whole way. I don’t ...
Moment In The Word - Everything We Need
Переглядів 1121 день тому
How many times have we felt inadequate in a situation? If only there were something that could help us. It is easy to feel this way about our spiritual life. How can we live for God? How can we live this Christian life the way He wants us to? By ourselves, we can’t. But the good news is, “He has given us everything we need for life and godliness.” How? Through knowing Him and His promises. What...
Moment In The Word - What Should I Do?
Переглядів 621 день тому
Sometimes you hit a wall. Something comes along and has you completely baffled. You have no answers. Nothing makes sense. There doesn’t seem to be any reason for what is happening. It is easy to simply emote, get frustrated, complain, cry out or just quit. But what does that solve? Instead, what can you do? James offers a solution. He says, “Ask God for wisdom.” If you would like to have this d...
Moment In The Word - His Love for You
Переглядів 1621 день тому
Today's verse is one of the most significant promises in the Bible. It is true for every child of God. Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing can separate you from the love of God! You may feel like His love is distant, you may have doubts, you may be in circumstances where it seems like God is nowhere near, but the truth remains. His love is with you, and He is conscious of you right now! Stop a...
Moment In The Word - We Need to Walk the Talk
Переглядів 1121 день тому
There is a world in such need, but we are so busy we don’t see it. We are so inwardly focused, so concerned about our welfare we don’t stop to help others. That is not the way of Christ! Our churches should be making huge differences in our communities, but we don’t. Often, we are trying to be the best church in the community. But the author, Eric Swanson, challenges us and says that we should ...

Moment In The Word The Fruit Of The Spirit
Переглядів 2628 днів тому
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. What a list. It is easy to focus on each attribute and begin to feel overwhelmed by the challenge to master each one. But that is not what today’s verse is suggesting. Instead, it is saying that the list of attributes is the result of living in the Spirit. It’s the Spirit’s fruit. In nature, if we want fr...
Moment In The Word - Don’t Fool Yourself
Переглядів 1928 днів тому
In today’s multitasking world, it is hard to focus on anything for more than five minutes. Interruptions have become a fact of life. There are emergencies and just-in-time deadlines, and we make judgments on the fly and hope that they stick. Well, if we are going to make it spiritually, we have to be intentional. It isn’t good enough to hear the Bible, a verse here, a sermon there. We need to k...
Moment In The Word Trust, Delight and Commit
Переглядів 928 днів тому
There is a spiritual rhythm in these three verses. It speaks to the soul. It is like drinking a tall, cool glass of water after coming in from a steamy, hot day. Somehow, trust, delight, and commit seem to go together. Today, start with trusting God. Give everything over to Him. Then stop and delight in Him. Feel His love. Let Him give you deep joy. Finally, bow before Him and commit everything...
Moment In The Word - Mercy and Forgiveness
Переглядів 16Місяць тому
Forgiveness. It is the most exciting concept in the Bible. God loves you and me so much, but our negative attitudes, the wrongs that we have done, and the things that we have failed to do these and more have separated us from our Holy God. But today, there is hope! David knew it. He came to God and asked Him to blot out his sins. He asked God to wash him clean of his guilt, and God did! The Apo...
Moment In The Word - Overcoming Temptations

Life is hard. It is easy to be tempted to take the easy way out. Easy to complain. Easy to give up. But what a slippery slope we walk on. Lying, cheating, substances, gambling. These are the temptations we hear about the most. But what about the temptation to hate, become overly angry or ungrateful? You see, we are all tempted to behave like we shouldn’t. What’s your temptation? Do you feel hop...

How many times have we regretted something we said or did? We were too hasty, reacting before we could think. How much pain have we caused acting out of anger, not concerned about the consequences? James admonishes us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. How different would our life be if we would follow this simple advice? How more effective would we be in our job, mini...

    Thank you for the warning on possible triggers. The biggest challenge I have with respect therapy is that in order to work the steps for myself I'm reminded my child was experiencing it at the same time. My guilt is so excruciatingly painful that I cannot open the door to discuss how it affected me, the pain is overwhelming. I had no idea until recently how much it affected her and I will never forgive myself for it.

    Religion is “the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.” In that respect, Christianity can be classified as a religion. However, practically speaking, Christianity has a key difference that separates it from other belief systems that are considered religions. That difference is relationship.
