Fire and Hope

Be The Light

Matthew 5:16 (KJV) 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

The Foundation

Christ has built our foundation. How we live it out can be totally contrary to the way it was intended for us to live. One of my new favorite songs, The Bones made me reflect on the many ways my foundation was built and how I live it out. Sometimes we are bigger than we are living it out. Check your foundation! "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Blood and righteousness..." Don't live smaller than you're foundation!

I've Got Goals

Luke 13:31-32 (NIV) 31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” 32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’

Psalm 91:1-5

Psalms 91:4-5 (NIV) 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

Quiet! Be Still

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” 39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
