Looking at John 8:12-20, Jesus is the light of the world.  If you remember the commercial for Motel 6, it say "we'll leave the light on for ya" but do we just run to Jesus every once in a while if we need him and treat him like Motel 6 (expecting him to be there on our terms) or do we live like we need him everyday?

We have an image of Jesus sitting on the mountainside with the wind blowing and it is like a beautiful late summer afternoon in our minds.  Even in our darkest times, Jesus wants to give us rest from our troubles and stress.

Prayer is a powerful tool that everyone can use!  But when we pray with the intension of God moving in the lives of others SO THAT others will benefit instead of ourselves, we begin to pray with a Kingdom mindset and perspective!

Scripture is full of people who struggled with addiction, affliction, and disgrace.  We must face the fact that God is the only One who can give us fulfillment.  Everything else is temporary.

Happy 4th of July!  During the holidays, we are reminded that it is a difficult time for anyone in recovery.  Do we really think about this outside of Christmas and Thanksgiving?  If you are struggling with trauma response, it is ok to ask for help!

Today's Scripture is found in John 4.  We have all fallen short.  We have all dealt with guilt and shame.  Jesus wants to cleanse our hearts and help us to "go and sin no more" as we live our lives.

In recovery, we have sponsors and accountability partners.  If we are going to be honest, this is not just something for people who struggle with addiction.  Accountability is Biblical!  If we are really going to be honest then we are all in recovery (or should be in recovery) from this life of sin!  I have included the altar song played by the worship team at our recovery ministry for your enjoyment.  I hope it blesses you very mu...
