Names of God: YHWH, Father, Daddy, Papa, I Am

Feeling Worthy When We Aren’t

How does one “settle the issue of our worth” when we are taught we are not worthy?
I’m speaking of  Christ-centered confidence, not self-made worth.  Self-worth and self-dependence can blind us to the holiness and glory of God.
God sees us as worthy! He is like the shepherd that left the 99 sheep to look [...]

Is it Legalism or a Desire to Please God?

So what is the difference between trying to please God and legalism? A measuring stick that only measures the end result will identify anything pleasing to God as legalism. As with most things Jesus taught about, the difference between doing something to please God, and legalism, is found in the heart.

The Self-Esteem Lie

We (the baby boomer generation) have been taught self-esteem and self-control are critical answers to life’s problems. These are lies.
Self-effort puts the focus on us and we end up missing Jesus. A relationship with God cannot be earned by our diligence, our commitment, or our effort.
The secular word focuses on self-esteem. Turn it around – [...]
