Week 8: Equipped for Your Calling

Do you ever feel like you just don’t have the ability to do what you feel God is calling you to do? I can relate! Doubt has a way of derailing us from experiencing the wonder of God at work in our lives. Today God wants to shift your focus off of your inability and […]

Careless Words

“But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:36-37 Careless words. We’re all guilty of speaking them. On a good day we offer […]

Approaching Glory

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46 Do you ever have moments when darkness seems to engulf you? When it becomes so thick and heavy you find it hard to remember the warmth of the light? I do. They don’t come frequently, but they do come. Sometimes things just don’t play […]

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16 It was one of those frustrating days. I […]

I pray that the understanding of this material will open the way for each of us to experience John […]

Strength in My Weakness

God amazes me. Two and a half years ago, God directed me to write a Bible study, Tested by Fire. In April of this year a revised version of that study will become available for distribution to bookstores across the country. I have no idea where God will take it, but I remember well where […]
