Perhaps some of you are like me and you’ve not been quick to respond to the horrific events going on in our country. Maybe, like me, you’ve had a hard time wrapping your mind around all of it – not sure what to think, exactly, or what to say. I spent so much of the day yesterday praying with a deep burden about what happened to George Floyd, the actions of the police involved, the rioting and looting and more killings, the hashtags of blacklivesmatter, alllivesmatter,

I have always loved a good roller coaster! I grew up living near Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, which is not only the second oldest operating amusement park in the US, but also is perpetually boasting the biggest, fastest, tallest or most numerous rides as well. Today they boast 18 world-class roller coasters, and that doesn’t even include the thrill rides, let alone the family rides, the kids rides and the water rides and slides! My parents were super cool about
I decided this morning that I really love the Queen of Sheba. I read in Matthew 12:42 about how she heard of the wisdom of Solomon, and sought him out at great length in order to witness for herself of him. Scripture records that when she saw him, she realized that there was even much more to him than what she had heard. She testified, “the half was not told me!” ( I Kings 10: 7) What a testimony! And yet, the point of the verse in Matthew is that there is a
At one point in my life I was struggling with living out of suitcases for months on end while our family traveled from camp to camp doing ministry. Although we were having a blast traveling around, meeting people, and Scott was ministering the Word, there were times I struggled with my attitude about what the Lord was requiring of me. Sometimes, when I let the enemy have his way with me, I would feel like all I did of any value was keep my little ones out of the way of the programs that were
Sometime around 18 years ago I was sitting in a seminar about the Christian home. The speaker read these verses: ‘Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.’ Psalm 127:3,4 I don’t recall much of what he said that day, but one thing really stood out to me. He said that arrows are made to shoot, and a goal in parenting is to shape them and prepare them to fly
This is a phrase that's running rampant these days when it comes to talking about 'church attendance.' A generation is realizing that there is a problem with having rules that don't produce the right results, and there is much back-lash against it. You might wonder what I mean? It seems to me that the Lord is moving people to something He has always wanted. Abundant life! And I don't mean as just reflected in 'church attendance.' When the Lord says, "I have come that they might have
This morning I was reading in Exodus 29, when verse 43 just thrilled my heart! 'And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory.' The place where God dwelled was sanctified by His own presence. Today it is such an amazing privilege for a child of God to be able to meet with Him every single day, without needing to 'go somewhere' to do so. We are the place where He dwells! We can meet with Him at any given moment! We can spend time in
