There is something enchanting about getting out of the classroom and onto the streets, no matter your age. Even as an adult, I welcomed a break from reading characters and learning sentence patterns. Living internationally for 30 days had raised plenty of questions, and Rebecca’s field trips proved magical. Whenever we were together, I peppered my Taiwanese guide with cultural …
I’m concerned for our world. The weight of evil continues to rear its ugly head with deceit, fraud, and arrogance. Wickedness pops up daily like an earth-wide “whack a mole” game. God’s saints feel overwhelmed as we strike these powers of darkness through our intercession. Since the beginning of time, the plot of the evil one has been to “wear …
O Thou Who dost hear prayer (Psalm 65:2), How can this be? You, the Creator of the Universe, hear my prayer. No matter what my concerns or how inefficiently I utter them, You hear my prayer (Psalm 17:6). “Call to Me,” You command, “so that I can rescue you” (Psalm 50:15). “Call to Me,” You encourage, “and I …

Come. Rest your head here on My Shoulder. You are tired…exhausted. Let Me be your Rest (Matthew 11:28). You are diligent in a lot of things. You remind Me of Martha in that way (Luke 10:40). But, has it ever occurred to you that really only One thing is necessary (Luke 10:42)? …The diligence of relaxing in …
At one time in my childhood, we had about 5 old cars lined up on our farm property. Now, I am not just talking about ‘57 Chevys. I’m talking OLD. You see, my dad was into collecting and restoring Ford Model T’s. Built sometime between 1908 and 1927, these classics were my dad’s pride and joy. He polished and …
“…the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold…” 1 Peter 1:6-7 Residing in you is a hidden lode of faith. Your Holy Prospector knows of your value in Christ and desires to reveal these rich pockets. But first, He must bring it to the surface in order to be used. Our faith refinement is …
