A salvation story doesn’t have to be R-rated to be powerful. We may not all be saved from a life of crime, drugs, or persecuting Christians (like the apostle Paul). Sometimes it is what God protected us from doing that testifies to his glory and grace. I grew up as an only child in aContinue reading “Flashback Friday – Rescue from Rebellion: My Story of Redemption”

Flashback Friday – Five Dangers of Not Asking for Prayer
The Christian life is about community. It’s about fellowship. It’s about being one Body. To do this you have to be willing to be open and vulnerable. To let people in and get to know you. You have to share your struggles and burdens. Sometimes it can be easier to be the sympathetic ear thanContinue reading “Flashback Friday – Five Dangers of Not Asking for Prayer”
Does God Hear Us When We Pray?
“Please listen to me, God! I need your help!” Many of us have cried out something similar to this in a time of distress or uncertainty. We can relate to king David when he prayed, “Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. Give attention to the sound of my cry, my KingContinue reading “Does God Hear Us When We Pray?”
Flashback Friday – The God Who Sees Me
There she sat alone by the water. Given to a man, by no choice of her own, only to be used as part of a selfish plan. She received no protection or provision that normally comes from a union like this. She wasn’t loved. She wasn’t cherished. She wasn’t cared for. She was despised. Sure,Continue reading “Flashback Friday – The God Who Sees Me”
Flashback Friday – Anxiety: Are You Trusting the One Who’s in Control?
We’ve probably all read the most popular verses on anxiety: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6) “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is itsContinue reading “Flashback Friday – Anxiety: Are You Trusting the One Who’s in Control?”
Flashback Friday – Chaos of the Heart
I recently read, “Heart chaos is the result of a worship disorder, not circumstances.” You see, my world is anything but chaos free. A minister’s family with seven children ranging from age eleven all the way down to eighteen months—there is always some kind of busyness and noise. Sometimes just accomplishing dinner for that manyContinue reading “Flashback Friday – Chaos of the Heart”
The Attributes of God (Part 8) – Truth
“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” (John 17:17) There are so many “truths” out there clamoring for our attention. There’s “my truth,” “your truth,” “his truth,” “her truth.” It can be about as dizzying as a Dr. Seuss book! There are different religions, conflicting news stories, and a daily onslaught of propagandaContinue reading “The Attributes of God (Part 8) – Truth”
Flashback Friday – Speed the Spread: Sharing the Good News in a Pandemic
The pandemic may be over, but social hesitancies remain. We must break out of our comfort zones to take the good news of Christ to our neighbors.
Standing on the Promises
“I can’t wait to see how God is going to take care of this.” Hitting two deer in two different vehicles within three weeks of each other (one car totaled, both radiators busted, and the other car undriveable), a broken dishwasher, and an undetected leaky toilet that caused our water and sewer bill to moreContinue reading “Standing on the Promises”
Flashback Friday – Tilling the Garden of Your Marriage
Springtime means gardens for many people. While my husband and I have tried our hand at vegetable gardens before, it had been a few years and we are still novices! The big difference between this year and times prior was that we had never had to till the ground ourselves! But how hard could itContinue reading “Flashback Friday – Tilling the Garden of Your Marriage”
