Have you ever thought of the idea that if Jesus is the head and we are the body, that we need to give over the functions of the head to Jesus.

Most people these days call others out that they are discriminating against them when really it is a difference of beliefs. Discrimination is treating the whole person in a way that’s wrong whereas sin is an action against God.

Find out more by reading this post especially how Jesus modelled this.

Do you ever find yourself thinking on the current state of this world? I do and sometimes I can feel myself getting overwhelmed by all the craziness.

Jesus’ definition of rest is restoration and living our lives differently which offers a more permanent solution. Read on to find out more.
Prayer- it’s a word that is scary to some. Why would the God of the universe want to talk to me? Easy - it was His design in the Garden of Eden when He strolled the garden to talk to Adam and Eve. Why does Satan fight us on this? Because unlike the Bible which connects us intellectually to God, prayer connects us emotionally. Satan does not want us to have a connection to God. But we need to.

Forgiving - a word that none of us like. The reason is because we feel that forgiving someone means no justice. But what if I told you God wants us to take forgiving one step higher?

Happy new year. I believe the word for this year for all of us is revealing. This is the year that God is going to reveal the sons and daughters of God to the world. Romans 8:19 speaks about this. How? I don’t know but we need to be ready. Read on to find out more.
Christmas is a time when we remember the birth of Jesus. This is great but what I remember is His purpose- to transform me. In that transformation it is not old Karen and new Karen but a totally new Karen with no old there. Is this good ? Yes - but why? Read on to find out more.
