Jesus, for the love of His bride, removed all barriers—allowing us to face the Father for the first time! We can enter His Presence without fear or reservation, but with boldness and confidence. The veil has been torn. The debt has been paid. The Presence of Almighty God has been released into the world. Thank you, Jesus!

"I have a great fear. Unlike the fear for my finances, I think this fear is justifiable in God’s sight. I fear that the leaders of the Church in this and other nations will not heed the call to point us in the direction of repentance. I fear that the word 'repentance' has become a politically incorrect term in the modern evangelical church. I fear that it has become old fashioned, replaced by a humanistic, hand-holding corruption of the truth." --Dr. David Miller
Rooted in Relationship
Every answer is found in turning away from ourselves and focusing on God. Every virtue—faith, hope, peace, trust, joy, righteousness, love, etc.—will only grow in relationship to Him. We must never make it our goal to attain these things—because outside of Him, it is futile. Rather, we must make it our goal to commune with Him more, to know Him more, to cultivate relationship. The Christian life is rooted in relationship.

All things hold together in Jesus. He is at the center of both the Old and New Testaments, present in the pages before His birth is even recorded in the Gospels. Many of the prominent Old Testament figures anticipate the life of Jesus. The story of Joseph is one such symbol, pointing forward to the Savior who was to come...
Imaged from Glory to Glory
The Christian life is not meant to be a smooth, predictable, easy progression. On the contrary, it is often surprising, abrupt, and uncomfortable. It requires trust and faith to navigate through hidden, rough terrain. But somewhere in this messy process we are transformed from glory to glory. We are fashioned, ever more, into the image of Jesus; "Even in us may it fully be finished!"
Sun of Light
Any true work of art tells us something about the artist. Hidden in the details are pieces of its creator. Likewise, the God of all creation reveals Himself to us through His handiwork.Creation is always speaking of God; it just depends how closely we're listening. We must learn to be diligent students--and the Son of Light will teach us something new.
Spoken into Existence
In the beginning, God created. All of life was spoken into existence, at the Word of the Creator. We who are made in the image of God join Him in the work of creating. With the power of our words we build up, and by that same power, we possess the ability to destroy...
Tending the Fire Within
When Jesus speaks to us, our hearts burn within and our vision is restored; but eventually we have to descend from the mountain top. The clarity of the vision slowly fades and the light grows dim, like the shining face of Moses after leaving the presence of the Lord (Exodus 34). We have to listen for the voice of Jesus against a cacophony of noise. It becomes harder to remember the Word spoken to us, like trying to recall a forgotten dream.
We must learn “the secret of the burning heart.”
