I think God prefaced the sound of the gentle whisper with the bright noise to provide contrast and recall to Elijah the memory of how God spoke to him. Elijah knew the gentle whisper like an intimate friend. He had been seeing and hearing God through the gentle whisper for years.

Conviction. That is a powerful word. Conviction is a firmly held belief or opinion. It drives one’s purpose in life and directs one’s worldview. It undergirds the fortitude needed to stand for what you believe in when no one else shares that belief. It pushes through obstacles because something in you believes it’s worth fighting for.

We came to Lacombe, Alberta with less than one hundred dollars in cash, and that was it. Our “river to cross” was that we needed to find a place to rent to stay immediately.

She explained how she loved reading the New Testament, except the Book of Revelation. I inquired why. She said it is very cryptic and scary, and impossible to understand. I asked her if I could...

Jesus commands His followers to live out the light they have received from the Father in Heaven. They are forbidden from covering up God's light. God is glorified through the good works produced when His people live out all the light they have received from Him. When Christians choose not to live out all the light God has given them, they disobey…

This month's Get Ready Magazine theme is God's Glory, Our Peace.

“Did I just dream that or did that really happen?” I thought to myself. That was so real! Everything I saw was colorful and like it was actually happening. Has this ever happened to you? A few weeks ago, I had a dream that I’ve often...

My church has a presence in these countries, but at this time no one was talking about the mission fields in the first world. Over the next few years, I began to see how our country is gradually following Europe into the same secularism, although maybe 15-20 years behind.
