“The closer you walk with God, the less room for anything to come between.” Suzanne Woods Fisher As we walk into the New Year, it seems as if acceleration of world events is the theme, does it not? I was scrolling through reels earlier today and I noticed a common feeling pattern throughout each reel: fear, loathing, powerlessness, sadness, guilt, anger, so much anger. As I continued to scroll, I felt those feelings start to seep into the storerooms... Read more
“Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God’s word fit in?” Oswald Chambers I used to consume podcasts like they were going out of style. I lived in politics like it was the most important subject on the earth. My heart became jaded, my attitude was a wasteland and I was alienating my family with the vitriol for all things political that had solidified in my heart. Oh... Read more
“Fasting is not just physical discipline; it can be a spiritual feast.” Jentezen Franklin Do you ever hear about prayer and fasting in your church? I must admit, I do occasionally fast, but I am not good at it. I’ve never developed that discipline. Should we fast? Probably. Just take a few moments and look at the world, think like the world, take in a few reels, watch some political shows and the discipline of fasting looks awfully good. Over-indulgence... Read more
Spend a little time with Him and you’ll dust off your soul. The duster will start to move away the film of everyday life. Spend more time with Him you’ll see the dust begin to disappear, you’ll feel His presence begin to move away the spirit of fear. Seek Him everyday and dwell in His ways? Your soul will sparkle with the beauty of His love and Grace. Kathy King Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Oh soul, are you weary... Read more
“Gen Z, the generation that dreams of nostalgia.” Unknown A couple of weeks ago, we attended a beautiful church in Asheville, North Carolina. As I scanned the room to take in the breathtaking architecture, I couldn’t help but notice that the room was filled with Gen Z kids. Gone were the sea of salt and pepper heads, in its place were young folks with piercings, tattoos, and varying colors of hair. There were some that were dressed in a more... Read more
“To be a Christian is to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.” C.S. Lewis This musing is another wealth of knowledge that was written by my late mentor, Rev. Pat Carver. I know I’ve said this before, but I am amazed that her words written so long ago still ring true today. There are times I wonder if our culture has forgotten the beauty and soul peace that comes from forgiveness. It truly does... Read more
“He who sings, prays twice” St Augustine Do you feel like you don’t have answers for what is going on in the world? Or you may know the scripture, but you’re still flabbergasted on a daily basis? Is there something that you can do? Don’t let the title fool you, worship should be at the top of the list when life inevitably seeps in with its heaviness. The Bible gives us an answer, we must worship Music sings to... Read more
“Jesus is enough, you are not enough.” Charlie Kirk Shock, absolute shock. Charlie Kirk is gone. I can’t help but think of his wife and children who will live a life without him. Since hearing the news of his dreadful passing yesterday, I have done nothing but pray. Pray for the US, pray for the world and try to make sense of this tragedy. In those moments of disbelief and grief, I couldn’t help but stand in utter disbelief in... Read more
God is my strength and power. II Samuel 22:33 Dear ones, this is another writing of my late mentor, Reverend Pat Carver. In this little book called, Sharing Life she wrote many powerful short devotions to read. I hope that you will be blessed by this one. God is our Strength To whom does strength belong? God’s people. Those who walk according to HIs laws and precepts. Those who look to Him and depend on Him. Those who accept the... Read more
“The temptation to modify the teachings of Christ with the hope that larger numbers may ‘accept’ Him is cruelly strong in this day of speed, size, noise and crowds. But if we know what is good for us, we’ll resist it with every power at our command.” A.W. Tozer When you step into a cafeteria, what comes to mind? In my mind, you go through a line with a tray and pick from a line of foods that you... Read more
