Raising Your Standard

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 When I think of God-breathed, I picture God, up-close and personal, igniting life in Adam’s nostrils, awakening unlimited possibility-seeds in mankind. Just as God worked with dirt and...

Hearing God

Even before we say “yes” to God, we hear His Spirit woo and whisper us near.  Listen as He reminds us how to thrive in our listening adventure. Devour My Word, the Bible, your well-spring of foundational truth.  Approach it thirsty, humbly, empty, letting its water wash your spirit, shape your desires.  Mine its gold until it becomes you, infusing you with hope, clothing you with quiet...
