We often discover the truth about ourselves at the very moment we feel most confident. Our commitment to follow Jesus was sincere, yet we fell so easily when trials came! Shame whispers that we’re finished, that we’ve exhausted God’s patience, but God doesn’t abandon us when we fall. He restores what is broken and uses our wounds to deepen our faith. As we learn to depend less on our own strength and more on His, even our worst failures can become opportunities for spiritual growth and a renewed calling to strengthen others.

Heart of the Unbeliever
When it comes to war, an age old tactic is to know the enemy. When it comes to spreading the gospel message, we also need to know who we’re up against. We need to come and be renewed in our thinking about how an unbeliever thinks. What is actually going on in their heart, when they say “I don’t believe in God”. Are they pleading ignorance? Do they need further proof?
