Video Blog – What Marriage is as Christian Believers
Good morning, Making Space for God friends! Today I want to share with you something that’s been on my heart – what marriage means as Christian believers. Whether or not you’re married or have been married, marriage paints a beautiful picture for us of spiritual growth. I specifically want to share with you three things […]
Be Careful What You Think
Welcome to Making Space Monday (for God, that is!) As we continue our journey of spiritual growth together, I want to address our thought life. Scripture is clear that as a man thinks so he is. This is one of my favorite Scriptures because it always gives me cause to observe my actions to see […]
Unity in Christ
This week in our study of Ephesians, we studied the text in Ephesians 4:1-16. The theme of this text is Unity – now, unity is different than uniformity. In this Scripture, we see a new society. Here are 3 characteristics of this new society: Character that reflects Christ Unity that reflects the unity between Father, […]
His Love Endures Forever
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, His love endures forever. Give thanks to the the Lord of lords. His love endures forever To Him alone who does great wonders, His love endures forever. This is just the beginning of Psalm 136 which continues in the same vein– reminding God’s people that in all that […]
Forgetting the Past
I have been thinking a lot lately about why it is so difficult to put our past behind us– specifically those things we would rather forget. We sometimes simply get stuck in the past and find it impossible to grab hold of the future. With one hand in the past, it is difficult to move […]
Slow to Anger

Thy Will Be Done
Today in our continuation of the study of Ruth & Esther, we looked at “Returning to Bethlehem.” In the book of Ruth, we see how Moab was a picture of emptiness. Moabites were created from an incestuous relationship, driven from their original land, and yet, in the end, becoming the place of God’s fullness; Moab was […]

No Weapon Forged Will Prosper
Wouldn’t you love to know that every unjust accusation made against you is ineffective? Life would take on a different perspective if we knew that there was a big sign that came up over our lives anytime a false accusation is made that said: Sting ineffective. Well I have good news for you. This is […]
Forgive Them Anyway
This week I drove by a sign in front of someone’s office. It caused me to stop and think. Are people often unreasonable irrational and self-centered? Perhaps so. So that brings up another question: Should we really forgive unreasonable irrational people? The world in which we live is very different than the world in which […]
