God’s love isn’t only seen in what we have, but what we lack – what He holds back!
Apologizing for our weakness means we still think something is wrong with us, when in reality, weakness just means we’re children! And God wants us to see His strength as our strength.
Just imagine if your doctor only gave you the news you wanted to hear, instead of the diagnosis you needed to live! A painful truth is worth way more than a comfortable lie.
To find the truth, we need a witness. And it must be one we trust! Because all truth worth believing starts with a witness worth trusting.
Our church in Burlington is just one of fifteen different His Place locations! It’s just that our other fourteen campuses happen to be on the other side of the world, in the Philippines.
All fires go out if they’re not fed … even in our faith. So we need to be reminded how easy it is for even the most dedicated believers to burn out.
It might be scary, but for God to get us, open us, fill us, and encourage us, we need to know – something’s gonna kill us!
If we’re supposed to love others like Jesus, and He loved like the Father, and the Father loved by sending Jesus to save the world – what should our love look like?
How do we straighten out our heart’s desires so that all our work has the fulfilling joy of feeling our fit?
