Insights & Studies
In the following studies I share my own personal insights and revelations from the Word of God. These thoughts are not intended as theological expositions, but rather are designed to encourage participation in a journey of devotion.
Each study is intended to take us closer to the heavenly author and the thoughts and intent of His heart.
At the conclusion, the reader is encouraged to reflect on what has been shared. While reading provides us with information, it is contemplation that changes what we read into a revelation we can experience and embrace.
Often a prayer prompt is also included at the end. This is a conversation starter rather than a set prayer. Only we can give true expression to what is in our heart, and it is our heart that the Lord wants to hear.

The Challenge of Inconvenience
Our choice to love and serve God regardless of the cost and despite the inconvenience defines who we are. The people of God are known by the One they choose to serve and the choices they are willing to make.
Glorious Grace
Grace took sinners and made them saints. Grace transformed enemies into friends. Grace took those destined for destruction and gave them a glorious future where they are holy, without blame, and fully accepted. Forever this will be to the praise of the glory of His grace.
Close the Book
As hard as it is, we need to close the book and stop rereading our stories of heartache and injustice. To close the book is to choose to listen for a voice greater than our own. It is to trust in the One who can rewrite our history.
Calling Our Name
Jesus sees the questions that plagues our mind and the sorrow that stills our steps. When we are lost in anguish and grief, He calls us by name.
