@birdchadlouis Happy Birthday, Chad. You have blessed my life with your insights and authenticity. Thank you!

Struggles and even failure create important pivot points in our spiritual lives. Transformation occurs when we choose to pivot towards Jesus.

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

You are growing spiritually when your motivation for obeying God is rooted in trust. You believe that He ALWAYS has your best interest in mind.

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

Understanding the goodness of God (as a father)is the foundation of a healthy prayer life. It’s only when you clearly see how much he loves you that you can fully trust him.

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

One of the keys to building a strong and daring faith is to remember and reflect on the times in your past when God showed up in a big and powerful way.

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

God’s grace is so rich and powerful that it’s almost too good to be true. If your understanding and experience of grace doesn’t borderline on scandalous, you’re missing something.

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

Remember that your number one priority is to please God. You are not here primarily to please people...no matter who those people might be. You lose so much when your efforts to please are misdirected.

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

Having the right view/understanding of God is vital to living a healthy and impactful life. Only in Jesus do we see the perfectly clear and correct picture of God.

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

Don’t keep God out of the messy and frustrating parts of your life. Invite him to step in and help you. Having him on your side is a game changer.

Getting the focus off ourselves and serving someone else does wonders for our spiritual and emotional wellbeing.

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

Happy New Year! My prayer is that we come to know Jesus and the power of his resurrection more fully in 2018.

Don’t find yourself wishing, at the end of this holiday season, that you had spent more quality time with family and friends. Make those memories now!

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

You are completely understood by God. How do I know for sure? Because Jesus became fully human in order to experience life just like us. How amazing is that!

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

Churches often make up rules in an effort to “get closer” to Jesus, but those rules just push people farther away. We need to stop it! We don’t need more rules...Jesus is enough! #Good52 Col. 2

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

The Holy Spirit is with us to coach us, encourage us and empower us on the road of discipleship. #good52 John 14

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

Worry is a conversation that you have with yourself about something that you can’t do anything about. Prayer is a conversation with God that he can do everything about. #good52 Phil. 4

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

The root of our anxiety is the belief that we must bear our burdens ourselves. The truth is that God wants us to give him whatever troubles us. #Good52 Phil. 4

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

Happy Thanksgiving! Take a few moments today and count your blessings...then give thanks to God.

[Jeff Payne @jpayne911]

You’ll never find fulfillment in the stuff of this world. Many have already tried and failed. Deep satisfaction comes when the giver becomes more important to you than the gift. #good52 Eccl. 2
