Get Ready!!

The moments seemed like an eternity for my friends as they anxiously wondered how long this would go on. I had very few words to share. My husband and I quietly sat and comforted my friends as much as we could. We hugged them. We prayed for and with them. I gently…

We have all heard the term “hacker,” which puts fear in us. We do not want to have our identity or passwords stolen. We certainly don’t want our bank account information compromised. However, let me put you at ease a little. Most hackers are...

Suffering is highly fashionable at this time of year. The fitness clubs are filled with people who will, ‘feel the burn’ — a burning sensation in their muscles caused by intense exercise. Some will adopt restrictive diets. Others will participate in events similar to Dry January and abstain from alcohol and other drugs for an entire month. They will suffer because they want to accomplish their New Year's resolutions.

The whales and dolphins, pelicans and gulls, music of the waves, and brilliant sunshine all sing of the presence of the Spirit of God around us. They seek and hover around the food they need until they are full. We can’t hide from the Spirit, but we need to...

After I lost my foster son two weeks before he was going to officially become my son, I began learning how important it is to share my thoughts, feelings and emotions with God. I learned the intimacy that God wants with each of us through...

A number of years ago I was taking some time to fast and pray, feeling convicted of my own spiritual, Laodicean condition. That's when I felt God calling me to also fast and pray for my church, and especially for those who serve in positions of leadership. This started me on a beautiful journey to this day, seeking to...

You may have experienced the power of prayer and thanksgiving in your life. The Bible tells us, "Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart, (Philippians 4:6 GNT). This Bible verse explains that God desires to care for all our needs. He does not want us to be anxious about anything. He wants us to..

We have three terms in the development of the Christian life: justification, sanctification, and glorification. All three have been ambiguous, at least for me. “Justification” seems to happen in the moment. “Glorification” apparently happens when Jesus comes. “Sanctification,” which is becoming holy, seems impossible.

I recall when my four-year-old niece invited me to read the book "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss. I declined. She insisted, "You'll like it."
