Seeing Others Through God’s Eyes
by Ed Newton on December 7th, 2024
"With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God." – James 3:9   When you grasp the truth that you are made in the image of God, it transforms how you see yourself. But it doesn’t stop there, it also transforms how you see everyone else. Every single person you encounter, no matter who they are or where they come from, bears the image of God, j...  Read More

Reaping What You Sow
by Ed Newton on December 3rd, 2024
"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap." – Galatians 6:7    Every decision you make is like planting a seed in the ground. Some seeds grow into something beautiful and fruitful, while others grow into weeds that choke out the life around them. The choices you make, big or small, determine what kind of harvest you will reap in your life.   God has give...  Read More

The Gift of Choice
by Ed Newton on December 2nd, 2024
"If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land." – Isaiah 1:19    One of the most incredible gifts God has given you is the ability to choose. He didn’t create you as a robot programmed to follow His will without question. Instead, He gave you the ability to reason, to weigh decisions, and to determine your own path. This gift of free will is a reflection of His love. He want...  Read More

Just Start
by Ed Newton on November 20th, 2024
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." - Psalm 119:105    Have you ever found yourself waiting for God to do something before you take that first step? Maybe you’re waiting for a sign, a clear path, or some guarantee that everything will work out. You think, "If God just shows me the way, then I’ll move." But that’s not how it usually works. God doesn’t move until you take that f...  Read More

For The Long Haul
by Ed Newton on November 10th, 2024
"Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." - Galatians 6:9    We often think about faith and obedience in terms of short sprints. It’s a brief period where we trust God, follow His commands, and hope for an immediate reward. But what would happen if we stretched our faith and obedience beyond just the short term? What if we didn’t give up, even whe...  Read More

Repent First
by Ed Newton on October 29th, 2024
"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." - Acts 3:19     When we think about moving forward after a mistake, our first instinct is often to apologize or ask for forgiveness. And while that’s important, it’s only part of the process. There’s a big difference between saying “I’m sorry” and truly repenting. The Bible doesn’t...  Read More

by Ed Newton on November 4th, 2023
"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." - James 1:22   Obedience is the mark of a heart prepared for God's transformative work. It's the willing surrender to His commands, recognizing that true freedom and blessings come from aligning your life with His will. Obedience is not a burden but a pathway to abundant life. James 1:22 reminds us, "But be doers of the word, ...  Read More

Desperate for God in Our Work Life
by Ed Newton on June 13th, 2023
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33 (NIV)   As believers, we know that our faith should not be confined to the four walls of a church building. Rather, our faith should be reflected in every area of our lives, including our work life. When we are desperate for God, it means that we seek His will and His purpose in ev...  Read More
