The Book of Numbers Study Begins Monday, October […]

We’ve all seen it in the news – the horrifying school shooting in Oregon. CNN reported: The gunman who opened fire at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College targeted Christians specifically, according to the father of a wounded student. Before going into spinal surgery, Anastasia Boylan told her father and brother the gunman entered her classroom firing. The professor in the classroom was shot point blank. Others were hit, she told her family. Everyone in the classroom dropped to the ground. The gunman, while reloading his handgun, ordered the students to stand up if they were Christians, Boylan told her family. “And […]

Read MorePay Careful Attention To These Two Things
We live in the age of information. Worldly thoughts, philosophies and twisted truths are posted everyday on the web and social media. These falsehoods spread like rapid, wild fire through tweets, feeds, shares, viral posts and videos As we and our children navigate through this barrage of information – may we never think we are above being led astray. In Acts 20:28, Paul tells the elders at Ephesus to pay careful attention to 2 things: 1.) Themselves 2.) Their flock. Why? Paul says: “I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from […]

Read MoreEmbracing the Beauty of Letting Go {Acts 12}
Sometimes tears flow easily from pain and struggles that you wish you and your loved ones could escape. Just this past weekend, I came undone in a flood of tears as sadness washed over me. Often times we try to pray our way out of things that God could have completely prevented to begin with. Perhaps we are meant to be in them to learn how to trust God. When we are close to the Lord, we know His presence is with us even when we lack the evidence of His work but on weary and discouraging days – we […]

Read MoreHow to Create a Prayer Closet – Your War Room
For those who have read my book, you’ve read about my prayer closets – my war rooms. As a newlywed, I felt a need to create a “prayer closet” so I turned a walk in closet into a prayer closet. Matthew 6:6 says “When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” In the closet, I put an inexpensive chair and footstool, a cheap night stand filled with journals, pens, my Bible and hymnal; a little water fountain […]
