It’s not an easy task to humble ourselves. This takes putting aside our pride and accepting a loss, correction, guidance, etc. However, being humble is usually connected with becoming meek or maybe stepping into the background a bit more.

“Grace” by Jemimah Paine
Hebrews 4:16 says: ‘Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.’ God is an immovable God. He loves us deeply and generously lavishes His love and grace on us. The key part […]
“I Will Not Fear” by Ovation Worship
“Peace, You give me peace. Blessed assurance to fight every battle down on my knees. Love, You give me love. Calming the doubt in my mind every time the journey is rough. I will not fear to follow your lead, Lord You provide all that I need. I don’t have […]
“Remind Me” by Adam LaVerdiere
Sometimes, we just need a reminder. Growing up in a Christian home and attending a Christian school, I heard the many truths from Scripture at an early age. I recited memory verses and quoted various passages of Scripture, committing as much as I could to memory. As I’ve gotten older, […]
“Taking Off My Grave Clothes: From Meth Addict to Worship Leader” by Stephen McWhirter
Addiction is a thief and liar! It is like grave clothes wrapping us in death, and keeping us from moving towards the voice of God. My heart is broken over all who are deceived and tricked into giving up their destinies. The voice of the enemy tells us to escape, […]

“Still Place” by Jamie Pritchard
‘25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly […]
“’90s Christian Music Kids Unite!” By Josh Balogh
I’m sure we’re all biased to the era of music that we heard in our formative years, so I am well aware that many would disagree with my claim that the ’90s was the best overall decade of Christian music. I think an argument could be made for the ten […]
“Quiet The Noise: The Story Behind the Song” by Trevor Kleinmeyer
Two years ago my mind was spinning. I was in an intense season with my job, my relationships and almost every aspect of my life! I felt like I was on a fast track collision with burnout. I remember coming home late one night after leading worship. I collapsed into […]
