Beyond our ability is…God
“We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves…

With Healing In His Wings
There is a special place in God, a place known as the Secret Place, or the Hiding Place. It’s a place of peace, protection, provision; the fulfillment of God’s Promises. A place where healing flows freely, grace covers like a shield, and no evil is allowed. A special place where all the promises of God…

It’s time to stop the thief! (part two)
As I mentioned in the last blog, while reading Ephesians 4:28, something really stood out to me. “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.” (ESV) The words my eyes and heart seemed…

It’s time to stop the thief! (part one)
I read a familiar scripture today and it was as though God was speaking directly to me. I saw it in a different light than I’d ever seen it in the past. The scripture was Ephesians 4:28, which reads: “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his…

The Marriage Bed
“Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you…” (Hebrews 13:4 – 13:5 NKJV) What an interesting passage of scripture. I…

What is a “Manly” Man?
I’ve heard the same thing before, but when someone said it again a couple of days ago I thought to myself, “What a jerk! And horribly deceived!” Maybe I shouldn’t have thought the first part, but then, it’s what the guy who said it was acting like. What did he say? “I’ve never felt so…

Christians and the Consumption of Alcohol.
The debate rages on: should or shouldn’t Christians drink alcoholic beverages? I’ll toss in my opinion right at the start of this post by saying no, they shouldn’t. But I’d like to further add that I don’t believe ANYONE should drink alcohol; Christian or not. No, I am not of the mindset that a glass…

Will you help God raise the dead?
Do you sometimes feel very unimportant? Does it seem like others are being noticed for all they do, while you live your life in obscurity? “I’m just a stay at home mom.” “I’m just a retired factory worker.” “I’m only a truck driver.” “I’m only a____________________ .” (fill in the blank) Could it be you’re…

Adultery – A Brainless Act
This is for everyone who is even remotely entertaining the idea of having some “extramarital fun”. Who has become flirty with the guy at work, or the gal next door. The couple who’ve allowed their marriage to become nothing more than a document filed in a county courthouse somewhere. For the person who believes internet…

A Case Of The “Shoulds”
Recently, several of us were talking and one of the guys began to tell the rest of us about some of the happenings in his home. The idea for this post was sparked that night. Thanks, Patrik. It SHOULD be there… It SHOULD have happened much earlier. It SHOULD work. It SHOULD have been where…
