When the Relationship Has Reached Its Expiration Date
When you know it’s a Wrap God created men with the capacity for relationship, family, and responsibility. From the very beginning, His design included fruitfulness, legacy, and provision. But having the capacity for commitment doesn’t automatically mean a man is ready for it. Readiness is a choice. A man has to decide when he’s prepared…

It’s Time to Wake Up
Lucy is 63 years old, and she is very aware of it. She knows her knees don’t always cooperate like they used to, she knows she needs a little more recovery time after a long day, and she knows that some of the things she wore at 30 probably need to stay at 30. But…

Don’t Compromise Your Strength in Christ
When What Broke You Tries to Redefine You Philippians 4:13 (NLT) reminds us, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” That sounds simple—but if you miss what it’s really saying, you’ll miss the power you already carry.

When God Allows What We Didn’t Expect Genesis 28:1–2 (NLT) tells us that Isaac blessed Jacob and gave him clear direction: “You must not marry any of these Canaanite women… go at once… and take a wife from your own family.” Jacob wasn’t out there guessing.

The Excuse Instead of the Truth
Isaiah 61:3 (NLT) tells us, “To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair.

You Can Ask, But Are You Ready to Receive It?
Jesus said in Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV), “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Those are powerful words from our…

Trying to Please Man or Please God?
When Pleasing Others Pulls You Away from God Jeremiah 16:20 (NLT) asks, “Can people make their own gods?” The truth is, yes—and many do without even realizing it.

The God Who Makes It Happen – Prayer
