One of the most comforting facts of life is that God never lies. In fact, it is impossible for Him to lie. Hebrews 6:18 Just let that sink in for a moment. It is impossible for God to lie. What comfort! In a world where we face disappointments, dishonest people and unreliable circumstances, we can…
CHARACTER REVEALED
We all have those people in our lives, that we can only take in small doses. When we spend time with them we suddenly “become someone else.” Our default reaction is to blame that challenging person. Or situations that really cause us to feel or react negatively. But the truth is, that person or situation…
CAPACITY TO LOVE
I like to think that I love everyone. As long as I’m living comfortably unoffended then it’s easy to convince myself. Whereas we naturally choose friends based on common interests, seasons in life and how they benefit us, God chooses differently. When you truly allow Him free reign to select exactly who he wants in…
DESIRE WISDOM
We all make foolish moves, mistakes we wish we could do-over. The word wisdom commonly defines someone older, gray-haired and that has learned from their mistakes. Yet, the bible says to desire wisdom and your days will go good for you. In the story of King Solomon, David’s son, God approached Him and offered Him…
LIMP FREE LIVING
We all experience tragedy. We all have had unexpected pain hit us. At some point in your life, you will suffer, it’s just a fact of life. The question is not will you suffer, but instead, what happens when you suffer? Suffering doesn’t destroy faith, it refines it.” I remember a few years ago when…
OBEDIENCE OVER SACRIFICE
Obedience is not always fun. It often takes laying down “your rights” and trusting the unknown. But the Bible shows us time and time again that the Lord requires obedience in order to please Him. He doesn’t say pray about, consult with others or ask Google. When God tells you to do something, you obey…
LABOR SEASON
Hello loves! This week’s post is really personal and I hesitated to share and only have a few. It’s not because I don’t want to share and those that know me, know I’m an open book. It’s just so fresh, emotional and a daily reality for me. Yet, my goal for Lens of Faith is…
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Sometimes as a wedding Photographer, I have a vision I want to play out, and the couple doesn’t initially get it. They start to feel a bit uncomfortable. It isn’t until I finish, then show them on my camera the creative shot, that I hear the “wows”. The same is with God. He sees the…
STRONG & COURAGEOUS
Do you ever sit back in amazement of God’s promises? I mean in a world of uncertainty, we have such certainty. From Genesis to Revelation he gives us constant assurance of the great God we serve. He is the ruler of the universe, yet he is working in every detail of our lives. One of…
SWEET TALKING IDOLS
Back in the biblical day, idols referred to large golden statues like a bull or calf or other gods. Such as buddhas that people worshipped, instead of the one true God. That culture in scripture doesn’t really apply to us now. In our modern-day, it is easy for us believers to think,” I don’t have…
