I’ve seen something happening in the Western Church that concerns me. Some have assumed that faith in Jesus happens without a commitment from us. Faith in Jesus is not an assumption or something that just happens. At some point, our faith in the Lord must have a...
There are times when an answer to prayer sounds like a safe opening. I just heard that sound. https://www.facebook.com/1442665059/videos/1703350093732408
I noticed something about our cat. She likes to find a high place from which to survey her world. She demonstrates to me what life in the Spirit looks like when we view what is happening in our world from a higher perspective. From that high place, we can begin to...
While there are many practical things we can do to minimize our contact with the deadly virus running rampant through our country, we can ignore the deadlier spiritual virus of fear that is also running rampant. The latter has a greater potential for death because it...
Be wise to which plow you place your hand. Some have plowed the wrong field in the wrong season planting the wrong seed. There are times when walking off a questionable field and seeking the Lord is the wisest course of action. It is better to lose the investment made...
