Matthew 5:43-44 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven.”
“Instead of believing that bad things happen for no reason, enemies give us a sense of control, allowing us to attribute bad things to a clear cause that can be understood, contained, and controlled” (Steve Rathje, Psychology Today).

Ultimate Tuesday Devotional
Bryan Fojtasek • Mark 2:2
It's 2-22-22... on a Tuesday! Let's celebrate by looking at the 2nd verse of the 2nd chapter of the 2nd book of the 2nd section of the Bible, Mark 2:2. This story shows us that no matter what has happened in our past, we can always make the decision today to turn to Jesus for a transformed future.
Shortcuts
June 18, 2020
Some shortcuts are great, but others... not so much. Waiting on God's plan to develop in his timing isn't easy, but taking a shortcut and rushing ahead with our own plan usually makes this worse, not better. In this 5 minute video, Bryan shares about a terrible shortcut he took and the story of how it landed him in the hospital--with 5 staples in his head! We hope you are encouraged and inspired to sit back and wait for God's plan and God's timing.
