  Surrounding yourself in a church home, and with other like-minded brothers and sisters in Christ can do so much to up level your faith. As much as I love the Lord and love communing with Him in the privacy of my own studio dorm, God did not create us to be alone. Being around others who share your faith takes you to newer and greater heights within God. Where there or two or three gathered in His name, there is a moving of His spirit, and His love and a teaching of His word that you can't get alone.

Love the Lord with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul. We can get caught up in life and forget all the good that He does in our l...

  It's easy to get caught up in sin and in the flesh. It is no secret that the flesh is "pleasure seeking and pain avoiding." And because we don't face consequences right away, or in a way that doesn't blow up in our faces, it's nothing for us to keep doing wrong. But one thing that we take for granted is God's love for us. I was watching a sermon and it reminded me that we tend to forget to thank God for what we deem as "basic" things. When was the last time you thanked God you could breathe on your own? Walk? That you're in your right mind? When was the last time that you thanked God for sending His only begotten Son, who was beaten, lashed, and bloodied for our sins?  With this in mind, God grants us so many small mercies. And these small mercies allow us to be kept even in our own transgressions and sins. By God's grace, our life is not at its worse. By God's grace we have been kept. And by God's grace, He gives us the strengt...
