Set the World on Fire
A few years back I went on vacation with my husband to Yellowstone National park. There were fires everywhere that had started when a camper had not fully extinguished their campfire. It destroyed much of the park. As we drove through the desolate forest, you could see the destruction first hand that a fire of […]
Suffering Has Kingdom Purpose
In a world where we hear so much bad news who wants to read a blog on suffering? I personally would rather go to the dentist and not use Novocaine. I want to get away from the bad news, isolate myself from hearing the tragic stories in the news. Just this week a beautiful 6 […]
Honoring His Name
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. Psalm 29:2 The Psalms inspire us to praise and honor the name of the Lord. As we seek God, He will reveal His character to us through His names. Let us learn to honor Jehovah God, […]
Enemy Doesn’t Play Fair but God Does
This morning I am like a dog with a bone on a subject that is near to my heart. Why? Because I have just walked through taking the bait of the enemy. The trap he set for me was discouragement. Anyone been there lately? The enemy doesn’t play fair but God always wins… if we […]

We sometimes use human standards to consider what faithfulness means. In today’s society, we see marriages that have failed […]
Do Unto Others
New Years Eve as I was going over some of my New Year goals, I recalled a bible verse in Matthew 7:12 the Message translation: Here is a simple rule- of- thumb guide for behavior. Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. I […]
Light of the World
The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 The people of Isaiah’s time walked in darkness, just as many people today walk in darkness. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, came as prophesied in […]
Unwavering Faith
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was about a hundred years old – and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet […]
