Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. — 1 Peter 5:8–9 Orientation When Louie was a…
Who Is Jesus? Good or God?
Is Jesus really who He says He is? Is He really the most important person in history? Someone who deserves our respect and admiration — or is He more than that? Is He someone who deserves our worship? Who is Jesus? ~ Louie Giglio WELCOME There was a time when identity theft was something to…
See the Seahorse
See the Seahorse I wait for the Lord to help me. I trust His word. — Psalm 130:5 The seahorse (or Hippocampus, if you want to be scientific!) is a tiny fish that lives in the oceans. It’s called a seahorse because its head looks like the head of — you guessed it — a…

Our minds connect the word to the “big” addictions only, such as alcoholism, drug abuse, or porn. We think of…
The Giant of Anger Must Fall
Maybe you’re looking for an instant fix to your anger. You want to be changed overnight. But a real and lasting fix seldom arrives instantaneously. God morphs our life little by little, bit by bit.
