The Secret Place of Freedom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Be more preoccupied with the divine solution than with the human condition eating away at you. There is no need to defend yourself against the accusations rehearsed in your own private courtroom. Though the secret place is often found in the sacred seasons of our suffering, love is not rationed out by how well we’ve been managing life.
Finding God in Your Wilderness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
See the Lord Jesus as your Champion over every adversary. Every fight you've had with sin, temptation, the whisper of deception, accusations, and condemnation and the ache of feeling like you don’t measure up has been won. The path in front of you — that's holy ground. Jesus will lead you into whatever battle is coming. Honor the vessel of dignity you're being handed.
Heaven’s Patriots (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’re not a failure when your faith hasn’t resolved all your hard times. Success is letting your faith produce one of “heaven’s patriots.” Perfection is heaven’s report for you when faith is allowed to sustain your life in weakness. There’s no shame here. Stop demanding perfect performance as the entrance fee for God's presence.
Your Honorable Identity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my trial, He said, “This is a moment of preparation. Heaven is fully aware of what you're going through right now and is planning for an eternal reward through it. The man wearing heaven’s identity doesn't set it down just because the road got hard. Your body is God’s address. Whatever verdict your past has been handing down, it no longer gets the final word.”
Healing A Broken Heart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Heaviness does not mean God has forsaken us. Mourning over failure does not mean our hope is gone. A life reduced to ashes does not mean we can't have God's joy and peace. A broken heart does not mean that the immense liberty of heaven's favor is not for us. The stone in your chest isn't disqualifying you. It's the very thing He said He came to heal.
