True love is the burden that will carry us back home
By
cmartin
I wanted to share one of my favorite songs, which has been very powerful in my life. Ulysses by Josh Garrels. For the times when we feel lost, overwhelmed, or just unsure of our next move, we always know the sun will rise in the morning and the true love of God will always carry…
City on a hilltop
By

Be confident in who who were made to be and don’t hide the light you’ve been given! “You are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand,…
Are you an introvert?
By
cmartin
How do you process? This is the biggest difference between introverts and extroverts. Do you process things internally or verbally? Yes, we all do a little of both but most people usually lean to one of the two sides. I know that I am more of an introvert and it’s just recently that I…
Living by the Spirit

“For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.” – Galatians 5:13 (NLT) I love the book of Galatians. I am reading through it again right now for the 3rd or…
Seeking Freedom
By
cmartin
If I asked you if you’d rather be free or bound up, what would you say? If you had the choice to be completely yourself, free from persecution in any way OR tied down and burdened under a law, what would be your answer? This seems pretty obvious, right? So why is this decision so…
I don’t want religion, I want you, God.
By
cmartin
God, How can I be more like you? I don’t want to try so hard to be Christian. I just want you to transform me. I want to give without expecting anything in return. I want to forgive without a second thought. I want to let you lead me because you know me better than…
Love in its truest, purest form
By
cmartin
A few thoughts on love and what it was truly made to be. From the article, The Greatest Love of All. “The strongest thematic message in the Bible, which contains the Word of God, is God’s love. Everything revolves around God’s love. God, who created the universe by His Word, is the source of love,…
Walking through the Desert
By

“Do we stay Christians because of the feeling of fellowship we have with the Lord or is it because we trust in Jesus?” I read an article this morning that related to what many of my friends are going through right now, as well as described times in my life of what seemed like “dryness”…
If you could do anything
By
cmartin
If you could do anything What would it be? We were all asked this question in Kindergarden. I know my answer has changed since then, as many of ours has. I can recall my little brother saying that he wanted to be an ice cream man! My answer came clear to me at around 13,…
We are first His
By
cmartin
Obviously we are at the peak of the political season. I had promised myself I wouldn’t get involved via Facebook but a few nights ago I felt compelled to say something. Just a disclaimer: I have no intention of starting a political argument. Because of what was said in the back and forth the other…
