The Grace Blog Turns 1!
In the beginning, I had a lot of concerns about starting a blog, but I’m glad the Lord gave me the grace to overcome those worries. I’m so thankful for each of you on this first anniversary of The Grace Blog.
Give Thanks in All Circumstances
In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Paul says to give thanks in all circumstances, but how do we do that when not all circumstances are good?

Your Identity in Christ
Paul writes that you are a new creation in Christ, but what is it that is so new about you? What is your identity in Christ? Here is a list of what Scripture says about your identity.
More of God, Less of Me?
Do I really need more of God and less of me? No, not if you have put your faith in Jesus for salvation. Here’s why…

How to React to the Israeli War
The Israeli War is all over the news, there’s prophecies people are talking about, and there’s threats everywhere. It’s scary. What are we to think? How are we to respond?
The Comparison Trap
When we compare ourselves to others, we fall into a trap that leaves us feeling inferior to some and superior to others. It can be a real roadblock on this journey of life, but there is a way out.

Addiction is an all-encompassing struggle, and it doesn't discriminate. Christians, too, can grapple with the formidable challenge of addiction, but there is grace, forgiveness, hope, and healing that can be found in Jesus.
Secular vs. Sacred
A lot of us view some things and certain activities as sacred and others as secular, but is there really such a thing as a sacred/secular divide?
