“He has been looking forward to this party all week. We told him he could stay up late and eat with the adults. That’s a big deal when you are four.” Issac’s dad was right, and as the night progressed, we discovered that this particular preschooler had a definite bent toward the theatrical. At first, he mingled with each guest, …
Dear Mentor, I am always frightened. Fear seems to have dominated my thinking. I am afraid of dying, but I am also afraid of living. Will you pray for me? Signed, Terrified …
My mother wore double-knit to my second-grade party. I’d never been embarrassed by the outfit until that day in Mrs. Crouch’s room. It was the mid-sixties and the other mothers had on go-go boots and fish-net hose. I sat in the back of the room and took it all in. At least, my mother had on a wiglet. Yet, even that …
April Fools Day…Hummm. Kinda ironic that we will be talking about Truth today, huh? ——————— “Having girded your loins with truth” (Ephesians 6:14). From the prison cell in which Paul wrote these words, he probably had a view of the typical Roman armor of the day. Let’s watch the following video clip together, to get our own visual of …

Indeed, we walk by faith, not by Sight or (2 Corinthians 5:7) Smell or Taste or Sound or Feeling. Each of those sensory perceptions are sourced from our …
Have you ever thought about how heavenly reality is actually more tangible our physical reality? We know that when Moses was instructed to make the tabernacle, God told him to make it “according to the pattern” that He showed Moses (Exodus 25:9; Acts 7:44). This wasn’t some random blueprint that God thought might look good. No, it was …
When my daughter and grandson were preparing to fly home from their visit with me, I gave Hilary a little plastic hand-held fan to entertain Judah on the airplane. Giving an eighteen-month-old a fan may seem strange, but this was a special one. The little blades were the floppy, plastic kind that your hand could stop without consequence …
Struggling with just how His dimension spills into ours is a little mind boggling. Yet, as He grants us insight into the heavenlies to see Him, our belief in Him floods His reality into our own.
