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.

Come Out of Hiding
Good morning, Making Space for God friends. I always enjoy our time together on Making Space Mondays, unpacking topics that impact our spiritual growth.

A River Never Ceasing
Today I want to talk to you about loneliness. You see, we all may feel lonely at times. We can be surrounded by a sea of people and still feel this way. As you may know if you’ve followed my blog before, I sometimes share entries from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet, here. The […]

Come Just As You Are
Good morning, Making Space for God friends! Last week as I was preparing to meet some friends for dinner, I looked in the mirror and thought, “Boy, do I look terrible.” I even entertained the idea of not going because facing the redo that was needed was daunting. It was the end of the day […]
God is Still on the Throne
This week in my Making Space for God post, I want to address the subject of feeling powerless. I have been talking to many people who are in despair for a multitude of reasons. It’s something that at one time or another we all deal with and often we find that hopelessness jumps into the […]
