Moving out has been a pretty wonderful thing for my prayer life. My family is a praying family, so it’s not like I couldn’t have my quiet time in the morning when I lived at home. But when you live with 5 other people, it’s kind of tough to find real privacy for something as...

If I said we are in the midst of Spiritual Warfare you would agree with me; “Yes, we are.” If I said we wrestle with Powers and Principalities, again you would agree with me; “Yes we do.” If I said people get hurt in war; they bleed, they die, you would say, “Ah yes I...

There’s a lot of things that drive me crazy and one of them is the Participant’s Award. You know the one…the award for simply being there. In fact, even if you did nothing you got it. (Probably for your “part” in taking up space at an event…with little “pant” involved) They hand them out to...

“And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God, With which the Dayspring from on high has visited...

Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. This short little verse carries such power. There is so much weight to the words written here. How many times have we been out to eat and complained about the food? How many times have we stayed somewhere and complained about...

I just finished reading an incredible book over the holidays – The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. It describes Corrie, a Christian Dutch watchmaker turned heroine, and her family’s experience during World War II as they risked their lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazis and their death camps. Corrie...

The attacks of the enemy have intensified, so our prayers have intensified.” That’s a direct quote from someone who regularly attends prayer nights at the church. Once we ended, she shared a story, or a testimony really, of how the Lord has strengthened her against the enemy lately. Just think about what she said, and...

Today it seems like there is no way around offending someone. Recently I had to write a letter requesting donations for a non-profit organization. Since this was the first letter of its kind that I had to construct I asked a friend that had more experience to review my letter. She is very “PC” and...
