Beyond Belief

Posted on November 18, 2020 by Arrow

I believe in wearing deodorant, a seatbelt, and my wedding band. I feel these items benefit me and, in some cases, those around me. But, in these instances, if I don’t actually DO these things, my belief is irrelevant. Many … Continue reading →

Mission: Possible

Posted on August 5, 2020 by Arrow

What is your passion? What are your gifts and talents? How could God blend those with your willing spirit to help accomplish the mission He’s assigned you? Listen to where He is calling you. Step into the light He is shining in front of you. Most of the people in the Bible could not have guessed the future God had in store when they stepped forward in faith and said yes.

Hidden Treasure

As you read God’s Word, ask Him to speak to your heart and open your ears to what He has to say specifically to you each day. Continue reading →

Set Plans

Posted on July 15, 2020 by Arrow

Sometimes we are so set on our plan, we forget to seek God’s will for our life.
… when we feel like we’re being swamped by a surge of continuous whitecaps, we may want to stop and re-evaluate our decisions and plans. Continuing to sail onward in stubbornness causes us to miss out on God’s peace and blessings. Continue reading →
