We are often so busy trying to achieve what God simply wants us to slow down enough to receive.

Satan got Adam and Eve to focus on one fruit when God had given them a whole garden. That's how he works. He gets you to focus on that one thing you don't have. Instead of all the blessings you do have. Trust that God knows what you need, and he will supply it when you need it.

Dr. Jesse McGuire’s trumpet stopped working during his National Anthem performance at the D-Backs game last night and OH WOW! The man has a voice! Well done Dr. McGuire! 💪🇺🇸🦅

With my whole soul I believe this is what God is doing in the American church in our generation: "There are Word churches and there are Spirit churches. There has been a great divorce in the church – between word and spirit. And like any divorce some kids go with the mom and some kids go with the dad. Revival happens when you bring those two back together.” — RT Kendall

Marco Rubio is facing backlash for saying that Jesus Christ is our ONE & ONLY Lord and Savior! Let’s show Marco and his beautiful wife Jeanette that we stand with them and have their backs!

Confession clears the way for renewed fellowship with God and restores the joy that sin can so easily steal.

Proclaiming the name of Jesus brings power, protection and a perspective that crushes fear. It is the name above every other. Yes, there is power in the name of Jesus.

THIS SHOULD ENRAGE THE WORLD. Christians are being killed in Nigeria for their faith. Churches attacked, families terrorized, believers kidnapped and murdered for refusing to abandon Jesus Christ. Their lives matter. Their suffering matters. Stand with persecuted Christians. 🙏

We don’t have to face today in our own strength. Whatever comes, we can depend on the Lord to carry us through.

“Dear Jesus… help me.” Just a whispered breath formed in the wholeness of His Name carries all the power and mercy and wisdom and grace we need to handle what we face.

Wow, what a promise. The Holy Spirit in you is God’s guarantee that what He promised is still ahead of you. He is not merely helping you through this life. He is the deposit of the inheritance that is coming. You may not see everything God has prepared. You may not understand everything He is doing. But He has given you His Spirit. The presence of the Holy Spirit is God’s assurance: what I started, I will complete. What He promised, He will fulfill. The Spirit in you is a glimpse of the glory that is still to come.

David Cheated. Noah got drunk. Moses killed someone. Sampson fell to Lust. Peter Denied Jesus. Paul struggled with things. The Bible isn’t a book about perfect people. It’s a love letter on how God loves us so much he rescues us from our sin through the sacrifice Jesus made. It’s all about God’s love through salvation, not our perfection.

Our faith should pose a threat to the principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of darkness in the heavenly realms. Being a follower of Jesus of Nazareth should be disruptive to the kingdom of darkness. It should be disruptive to expressions of wickedness, evil, and ungodliness. It should be disruptive in places where the truth is not told and deception is practiced. When Jesus or the apostles went into public spaces, it wasn't uncommon for someone tormented by an unclean spirit to cry out, "Why are you here to torment us?" We need to live with the understanding that we are here to be disruptive to the kingdom of darkness.

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy. She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid. The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%. She handed out the checks herself. In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college. When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months. You've probably heard that part. Here's the part you haven't: The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top. Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave. She built her county an entire hospital. She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it. In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees. Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal. In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release. And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it. She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway. She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did. Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

This is the thing I've been wanting to fit into a sermon for years. Jesus didn't choose the ROCK in Matthew 16 by accident. The Bible is amazing.

One of Satan's goal is to destroy your ability to love people because that's what makes you like Jesus the most. That's why he attacks your forgiveness, your patience and your compassion. Because when you stop loving people, you stop reflecting Jesus. Guard your heart and continue loving

"The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." // Psalm 103:8-12

🚨 SHOCKING: RFK Jr. just dropped this on live national TV Lyme disease. RSV (the #1 killer of American kids). COVID-19. All of them came from gain-of-function research. His exact words: They’ve been engineering the diseases that are destroying us… and then calling it “science.” This isn’t a conspiracy theory anymore. This is the HHS Secretary saying it out loud. “Lyme disease almost certainly came from these experiments and is now devastating our country.” “RSV came from a laboratory, which is now the biggest killer of children in our country.” “And of course, the COVID-19 pandemic… All of those have been linked credibly to gain-of-function research.” “It’s something with enormous costs and no proven benefits.”

One of the best explanations of why Jesus had to die on the cross that I've ever heard. I've listened to apologetics content for 20+ years and have never heard this. Well done @howertonjosh
