A River Never Ceasing
Today I want to talk to you about loneliness. You see, we all may feel lonely at times. We can be surrounded by a sea of people and still feel this way. As you may know if you’ve followed my blog before, I sometimes share entries from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet, here. The […]
Agreeing with the Enemy
Friends I will tell you straight. Don’t agree with the enemy. He is prowling around seeking to rob, steal and destroy and no one is spared. He goes after Christ followers, whispering in our ears lies so that we are discouraged, bringing his bedfellows of unbelief, stress, and anxiety. I recall a time early on […]
Be Careful What You Think
Welcome to Making Space (for God, that is!) As we continue our journey of spiritual growth together, I want to address our thought life. Scripture is clear that as a man thinks so he is. This is one of my favorite Scriptures because it always gives me cause to observe my actions to see how […]

The Greater Truth of the Gospel
It seems these days that truth has become a byword for anything and everything one wants to believe. But truth is with a capital T. Truth can only be found in Jesus Christ. The truth and power of the Gospel has never been unsuccessful. Our deepest need is for truth and our need for a […]
Increasing our Faith
I am often asked how to read Scripture. My response is to allow the Word to read you, to have the Word speak to you as a love letter from God the Father. When I read Scripture, I ask the Lord to speak to me through His Word and journal what I sense He is […]
