Just Say The Word
This is the fifth devotion in the Seeing By Faith Devotional Series: Just Say The Word. Today’s devotion focuses on believing in God’s word first, before we see an outworking in our circumstances. Focus verse “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.” Matthew 8:8 Devotion Often, our lack of faith is related to one thing. We can’t see any outward evidence of what we’re praying for. Yet, God wants us to have the kind of faith that believes in God’s promise first, which then leads to an outworking in reality. God wants us to…

Holy Fear
This is the fourth devotion in the Seeing By Faith Devotional Series. This devotion is based on Hebrews 11:7 where Noah is commended for his faith and holy fear of the Lord.

By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith. Hebrews 11:7 Devotion It takes fear of the Lord to see by faith and not by sight.

The Secret Place Of Surrender
This episode is part of the Rule of Life podcast series, and in it I talk about the importance of meeting with God in the secret place. This is not about a legalistic rule, but about relationship with the Father. It’s in the secret place that we come to God as we are and He enables us to surrender all to Him. Listen to the Podcast below and check out the show notes further down: The Secret Place Of Surrender In our zeal to steer away from legalism as Christians, we often discard the importance of certain spiritual practices in our lives as Jesus followers. One such practice, that Jesus…

The Freedom of Having a Rule of Life
Today on the blog and podcast we’re going to be looking at the freedom of having a rule of life. In church circles, legalism is one of those things we fight against. And rightly so. Legalism is about obeying laws to earn righteousness, rather than receiving righteousness as a gift from God. What is a rule of life? In our zeal to steer away from legalism, we often discard the importance of certain spiritual practices in our apprenticeship to Jesus. These practices are not Law, handed down to us externally, rather, they are commitments that help us position ourselves to receive God’s love and grace. John Mark Comer defines rules…

Trust In The Lord
This is the third devotion in the Seeing By Faith Devotional Series and today we’re looking at trust in the Lord. Focus verse “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Devotion As human beings, we often lean on our own bird’s-eye view of things when we think about the future. We see limits; not possibilities. We think that certain things can only come about in specific ways. For instance, in our worldly mindset, we think that to gain money, we need a secure job. Or that…

Not By Sight!
As Christians, we walk by faith, not by sight. What does that mean, though? How can we walk by faith? This is the second devotion in the Seeing By Faith Devotional Series. Not By Sight Focus verse “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7 Devotion The Christian life is not about deciding to have faith in Jesus one day, and then maintaining the same amount of faith forever. The Christian life is a journey. We grow in faith as we walk through life with Jesus by our side. Faith is a dynamic and organic current that transforms us from the inside out. Walking by faith…

Faith Is The Conviction Of Things Not Seen
This is the first devotion in the Seeing By Faith Devotional Series and today’s devotion is about the assurance of things hoped for and conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). My prayer is that this devotion blesses your life. May God’s grace and peace be with you as you read and meditate. Faith Is The Conviction Of Things Not Seen Focus verse Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.– Hebrews 11:1 Devotion When I was younger in the Christian faith, I used to see faith as a one-time experience of putting your hope in Christ for salvation. Now I no longer…

Missional Motherhood – Sharing The Gospel With Others
This blog post is from the Missional Motherhood Series and today I’m sharing some ways we can go about sharing the Gospel with others as a family. Sharing the Gospel as a family is not simply a nice thing to do, but it’s actually a step of obedience in fulfilling the Great Commission. (Matthew 28:16-20) Indeed, this is what missional motherhood is all about. Yes, we can share the Gospel individually, but think how much more blessing we’ll experience when we go out into the world and preach the Gospel as a united family team! Think how beautiful it’ll be for our children to see us carry out the command…
