You want more in life, but don’t know how to get there. Let us be your hand to hold, a voice to encourage you, and a practical guide to take you farther on your journey with Jesus.

What Does God Say About an Alive and Active Life?

God wants you to have an alive and active life of purpose. That’s His original design.

God’s Word is alive and active. (Heb. 4:12) In Scripture are the tools, resources, and action steps you need. The principles are current, relevant, and practical. 

You want an alive and active life. So, partner with God and His Word for direction, encouragement, and power.

Why Is Scripture So Important In Your Life?

Your time and energy are in great demand. Plus, you may be disappointed over losses, struggling to focus, feeling off-balance, or needing a sense of direction. Perhaps you feel alone. Holding everything together has become a drain you never imagined. You need help.

Jesus is The Living Word. Scripture is God’s written Word – like “Jesus on paper.” So, when you take Scripture into your life by faith, you take God’s life off the pages into your soul. It gives you power in several ways. First, knowing how to use God’s Word helps you manage your realities, responsibilities, and relationships. Second, Jesus said that everything will pass away – but His words will never pass away. (Mt.24:35; Mk.13:31; Lk.21:33)

That’s why Scripture is so important in your life. And – it works!

You can become all God created you to be and accomplish all He has in mind for your life – if you choose an Alive and Active Life. You can have wisdom, quality character, and a close, daily relationship with Jesus. Why not live inside HOPE by learning how to use God’s Word?

The Guy Who Found It – Scripture Dissection

I bet you’ve lost something on occasion. You know how it is to misplace an item – and then spent far too much time looking for it. “Keys” is the big one. (Where do those keys always disappear to?) Sometimes it’s a gift item you purchase and put it in a logical place – and then can’t find it when you need it. Then there’s your vehicle! “Where in blazes did I park in the lot outside this store?!” Well, this content highlights the guy who found it. Interestingly, he wasn’t even looking for it. Incidentally, what he found was much more precious than keys, gifts, vehicles, and other things commonly misplaced. What this young man found had been hidden a long time. Let’s take a look.

The Game Of Life And Relationships

Do you like chess? Surely, some of you do, while others of you . . . well, not-so-much. Perhaps you prefer checkers, scrabble, trivial pursuit, monopoly, or nertz. Regardless of your preferred game, life is like playing a board game – in some respects. For example – chess. Interesting pieces are placed in a certain order on an equally interesting board of contrasting squares. Then it starts: the strategies, choices, and patterns. It only takes a few minutes to realize you can’t play chess without being very engaged and thoughtful. Subsequently, you realize there’s an element like this in the game of life and relationships. Let’s look at helpful similarities.

One Size For Everybody

Remember when the pandemic was in full swing? Everybody was buying masks and medical gloves. Well, I found some medical gloves for a great price. So I ordered. When they came, I checked the box front. Sure enough – one size fits all. Not true! Those gloves were big enough to fit a professional basketball player who can “palm” the ball! So, I was stuck with these huge gloves. Incidentally, there was so much room in each glove finger, I could have packed snacks in there. So much for one size for everybody!

Still – there IS a “one size for everybody.’ It’s amazing! Let’s explore together . . . Read More …
