Simplifying the Truth
Cory Lewis 
As Christians, we have victory in Jesus. Victory over sin, victory over the devil, victory over the world, etc. But all too often we live with a defeated mindset. I personally want to get back to the victorious mindset the Bible talks about.
Our God is big. Seriously big. I’m talking infinitely big. He has no limits – despite how we mentally put Him in a box sometimes. I want to get back to the simple truth that our God is infinite in an infinite amount of ways.
The Fruit of the Spirit is well known in the Christian community. It’s often used as a measuring rod to see if we (or others) are experiencing life change when we come to Jesus. But what was Paul getting at with this passage? And how well do we actually understand? Jump in with me to find out.
After the death of Jesus, all hope seemed lost. The disciples scattered. Lost and confused. Scared and depressed. Little did they know just how close they were to the greatest triumph in all of human history.
As we approach the Easter season, I wish to reflect upon all that Jesus endured on the Cross. We know the story. We know why He did it. Sometimes, though, I fear we don’t fully grasp the magnitude of His suffering.
