Shortly after Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He came riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. He was then greeted by a large crowd of people with palm branches who were shouting "Hosanna!

Have you ever been to a huge mall or park and were so glad to find the map? The first thing you look for is the arrow that points to your current location. This arrow has a message attached to it that says, "You Are Here". This is helpful because it gives you a sense of perspective and direction. As we face the complexities of this life, we can take comfort that the Holy Spirit has revealed to us all the different ways that God has blessed us (1 Corinthians 2:7-14). This too gives us that same sense of perspective and direction. - You Are Here.

The scripture states (2 Corinthians 4:16) that even though our bodies are getting older that our inward man is simultaneously being renewed. Our outward man and inward man are on 2 completely different trajectories. - God's Fountain of Youth.

The Apostle Paul learned a great lesson about his personal weaknesses. He discovered that God's strength was made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

We understand the concept of "accepting change" as it relates to other people’s decisions that affect us, or circumstances out of our control, or other external catalysts where some form of change is imposed upon us. However, there's another form of "accepting change" that is voluntary, and very important as it relates to living for God. If we're going to be "changed" by the Word of God (Romans 12:2), then we have to understand the concept of "accepting change" in ourselves. - Accepting Change.

King David cried out to the Lord for mercy. He had sinned and desperately wanted to be clean again. Have you ever asked God to forgive you but still felt dirty after you prayed? It's good to know that God forgives us but we also have a part to play - A Clean Slate.
