New Bible Study

1/9/2021

 
Picture
​Welcome to a new year!  Christmas has passed and 2020 is behind us.  Now, as we step forward into the future and possibilities of 2021, let us ground ourselves in God’s Word.  As life slows back down after the excitement of the holidays, may we not forget to re-immerse ourselves in the truth of God’s Word.  Therefore, as we start this new month and new year, I will be starting a new Bible study.

New Bible Study:  Run Your Race

9/25/2020

 
Picture
Do you feel stuck in a holding pattern?  Does every day feel the same and boring, without purpose, meaning, or life?  Is the passion and fire of your faith starting to grow dim?  This past year has been far from perfect, and many people are starting to experience fatigue.  Fatigue from the daily grind of life, fatigue from the uncertainty surrounding us, fatigue from the pandemic, fatigue from face masks and social distancing, fatigue from isolation and loneliness, fatigue from doing daily life.

First Book Release

9/6/2019

 
Picture
​I am very excited to announce the release of my very first published book!  Independently published and now available on Amazon, this book is a compilation of all the blog posts from the Colossians Bible study I wrote in the fall of 2017.  This project has been in the works for a while, but I have finally finished it and released it to the world.

Godly Leadership: What Is It and How Can We Grow in It?

2/23/2019

 
Picture
​Have you ever wondered what makes a good Christian leader?  Or how God shapes and makes those men and women useful servants for His kingdom? 
 
I know I have.  Now that I’m serving in ministry and feel called to leadership in worship and discipleship, I have often pondered and contemplated how God chooses and prepares His servants.  Throughout Biblical and Church history there have been many amazing and mighty men and women of God.  A short list would include giants like Moses, David, Joseph, Mary, Paul, James, Peter, Billy Graham, John Wesley, and Hudson Taylor just to name a few.
 
But what set these people apart?  Why did God choose them?  And how did they grow into their roles of leadership?  What journey did God take them on to shape and mold them into the leaders of His choosing?

Joy:  Do You Need It?

9/1/2018

 
Picture
​Consider the question carefully.  Do you need joy? 

​​Can you say without hypocrisy that you would be 100% content and joyful if you were stuck in a prison cell tomorrow?  Are you honestly 100% content and joyful in the life you have now?  Can you say that you have truly learned how to be content in any and every situation?  Is anxiety and stress no longer an issue in your life?  Has the things of this world—learning, material possessions, achievements, success, popularity—all become less than garbage to you in comparison to knowing Christ?

New Year, New Bible Study!

1/6/2018

 
Picture
​We’ve finished our Christmas series for the season and have rolled into yet another new year.  So now it’s time to start a new Bible study.  In 2017, we covered lots of ground traveling through the fields of Bethlehem in the story of Ruth, watching the unfolding drama of Hosea and Gomer’s love story, and learning from the mistakes and struggles of the Colossians.  Now as we start the new year of 2018, it’s time to jump back into an in-depth study of God’s Word.

Bible Study Update

9/9/2017

 
Picture
​It’s a wrap!  Over in the “Bible Study” section we’ve finally finished our adventure through the book of Hosea.  After five months and forty-four posts later, we’ve come out of our adventure with a greater appreciation for God’s holiness, His justice, and mostly His incredible love--how far He’s willing to go to pursue His wayward children.  At least that’s what I came away with and hope you did too!

Guest Post:  The Gift of God's Word

5/26/2017

 
Picture
Editor's Note:  This is the testimony and life journey of a dear friend of mine and her personal experience in treasuring God's Word.  Formerly a servant in the ministry of family discipleship, Stephanie Hills is now involved in the incredible work of Bible translation.  This is the story of  the journey God took her on to reach this point in her life and ministry.  Though this isn't the style of posts I generally share, I felt that since So I Fix My Eyes... is centered around the Bible, this topic would be fitting.  I pray that you are encouraged, inspired, and blessed by Stephanie Hills' story.

A Message of Hope ~ Part II

3/24/2017

 
Picture
“For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place.  For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.  You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. 
​
I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.”

~Jeremiah 29:10-14
​Sent into exile, thousands of miles from home, captives in a foreign land, and separated from the God of their fathers.  The Israelite exiles in Babylon had every reason to feel discouraged, lost, and broken.  Even though this was because of their own sin, they probably felt far away and distant from God and rejected by Him.

A Message of Hope ~ Part I

3/22/2017

 
Picture
​God has a wonderful plan and purpose for your life.  We love this promise and widely use the supporting verse during graduation season.  And while this is true, we often don’t realize this promise and verse was actually given to a people facing the just wrath of God.  A people who had sinned greatly against the God of their fathers, had ignited His anger, and forsaken the Lord.  So God brought disaster and punishment upon them and allowed them to be taken captive and exiled in the land of Babylon.

A Wayward People

3/18/2017

 
Picture
After redeeming and rescuing the people of Israel from their bondage in Egypt, God gave them ten simple rules called the Ten Commandments.  But now over 700 years later, the people called by the LORD couldn’t even keep the first one: “You shall have no other gods before Me.”​

The Prophet of the Heart

​Last year, I did a personal Bible study on the book of Jeremiah.  At the time, I was not ready to share the insights I gained, but now, during this interlude between Bible studies, I’ll give you a brief mini-series synopsizing a few of the nuggets and truths I found in this great book.

    Guest Post ~ When Stories Collide
    Stories are strange things. Because it isn't the big, important people who are usually the main characters; it's not the sunny, lovely days that move the story along. It's the little people who become the heroes. It's the disasters that cause the quest.  Read more
