”But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me…” [2 Timothy 4:17] From this present generation have risen many reasons, excuses, accusations, and comfort zones for behavioral problems and dysfunction of all kinds. One of them is a sense of abandonment. Born into the family of man, every man has this sense in the core…
I hit the snooze button up to three times. My husband asks, “Why not set it right the first time?” We put on our sneakers for our morning walk. We ask, “How’d you sleep?” and tell tales of our dreams. We walk several blocks. We walk, we talk. Heading back home, we reflect on the…

My God brought me out of a pit of my own creation and blessed me beyond my wildest dreams. I am a second wife to my high school sweetheart and mother of four. I work part-time for a market research company and full-time as chauffeur, chef, and cheerleader to the children. I am active in my church home, where I teach a women's Sunday school class and facilitate bible studies. I enjoy volunteering. I write children's stories and have been rejected by some of the most renowned publishing companies in America. My daughter tells me Dr. Seuss was rejected on 17 submissions so I still have a way to go.
Sometimes I forget who Jesus really is. When I’ve been in a car accident. When a child’s health is touch and go. When a diagnosis slaps our world upside down or another job ends. By the time I find my feet and find myself praying, I feel like I’m letting God know what happened. I forget….

New Year’s Resolution: make Jesus a priority. How often has that been on your resolution list? If you are like many Christian women it’s been there many times, if not every time. By February (if not January 2nd) it’s the kind of resolution that nags and brings guilt. You remind yourself that there’s still 10 months…

So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into fire or water to…

These days, even in Christian circles, it’s a loaded question. Everyone initially says yes, but their fine print on the issue may be different. Let me ask it this way… Do you believe in the infallible Word of God? What exactly does infallible mean? It means according to Webster’s Dictionary: 1. Incapable of error 2….

When it comes to sharing the how and why of salvation in Jesus Christ believers can sometimes become tongue-tied, shy, and self-conscious. What if I say something wrong? I may say the Scripture wrong? What if I botch it all? My pastor recently spent a Sunday evening service walking our congregation through a well-known method…

Evangelism, just the word can make some go into cold chills thinking that they will have to go out and beat people over the head with the gospel message. Growing up in a traditional church, we had a program where people would go out one night of the week and “share the gospel.” I grew…

It is a memorial, a remembrance, a snapshot from the past, yet so very much more. It is the living reality that Christ did not just die for mankind—He rose again from the dead and He did not just rise again—He sent His Holy Spirit into our hearts whereby we can cry ‘Abba Father’ and…
