Dear Christ Church Family,
Recently, I felt challenged to identify some of the lies that have been tripping me up. You know the ones—the thoughts that quietly whisper, “You’re not enough,” “God won’t come through,” or “You have to carry this on your own.” Scripture tells us to “take every thought captive to obey Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). That means we don’t have to accept every thought that enters our minds as truth. Instead, we can pause, examine it, and ask whether it aligns with what God says about us and our circumstances.
The Christian life is, in many ways, a continual renewal of our minds. God is transforming us to think more like Jesus, not merely by trying harder, but through the work of the Holy Spirit within us. As He reveals lies we’ve believed, He invites us to replace them with His truth. Sometimes that process is uncomfortable because the lies have become familiar companions. Yet freedom begins when we agree with God instead of our fears, feelings, or assumptions.
As we learn to identify lies, believe truth, and trust God more deeply, He faithfully changes us from glory to glory. Growth rarely happens all at once, but it does happen as we surrender each thought, each fear, and each struggle to Him. Today, take a moment to ask the Lord: “What lie am I believing that You want to replace with Your truth?” He is faithful to answer, and His truth will always lead us into greater freedom, peace, and Christlikeness.
