“We shall not grow weary upon waiting on God, if we remember how long and how graciously he once waited for us.” Charles Spurgeon Today I am sharing once again from my dearly departed mentor, Pat Carver. Though he words were written before I was born, they still apply to us today. It seems as if with all that is going on in the world that we can become lethargic and give up. I myself have been guilty recently. Let... Read more
“God will interrupt your entire life to get your attention.” Unknown What if the Scriptures are true? Are you ready if they are? The scriptures tell us that God is a consuming fire. What does that mean? The Greek Word “fire” is “puretos” which pertains to the holiness of God. God is so holy that His purity, His divine nature and Word purifies us from within. So often we look to God’s Word as a suggestion rather than a... Read more
I would rather speak 5 words out this book than 50.000 words of the philosophers. If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God. If we want conversions, we must put more of God’s Word into our sermons.” Charles Spurgeon It’s time for the church to pray for revival In the last few months I have written about the concept of history repeating itself. Some may say, new days, old demons. Others might opine... Read more
“It’s not about the physical fight, but instead a spiritual conflict.” Peter DeHaan The World Seems to be Spiraling Out of Control Today with bated breath and my eyes slightly covered, I opened the news. Bunker buster bombs were dropped in Iran, there are absolutely extreme floods happening in China, the world seems to be on the brink of war, so many people are throwing words around about the end of democracy, illegal immigration, some love the President of the...

I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn’t change God. It changes me. C.S. Lewis Each time I share a musing with you dear readers, it seems as if another event has caused utter chaos in the world as we know it. If you are a fan of the absolutely amazing Tolkien, you might recall his musing about a... Read more
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. I John 2:15 We are all... Read more
“Every great movement of God can be traced back to a kneeling figure.” D. L. Moody It feels a bit like Groundhog Day as far as the news is concerned, does it not? The stories may be a little bit different but the theme is the same. The Sky is Falling, Again! Before you get a little upset that I am making light of what is in a lot of ways some seriously disconcerting situations, I wanted to add... Read more
“When we focus on what God has give us, we find a better way to live.” Meghan Asbury Yesterday I was having a conversation with some of my clients about the speed of time. We both agreed that it seems as if time had a double shot of espresso and is going at a breakneck pace. When you used to hear one major news story a week, now it seems that each day another catastrophe comes through the pipeline, sometimes... Read more
“The story of Joseph is in the Bible for this reason: to teach you to trust God to trump evil. What Satan intends for evil, God the Master Builder and Master Weaver, redeems for good.” Max Lucado My mind works in a very interesting way. My husband would probably categorize it as a bit chaotic and scary, but I digress. Songs run in and out over and over in a loop. Music is my meditation. This week the song “You... Read more
“Were not our hearts burning within us while He was talking with us on the road and opening the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32 All at once He stood beside me, like He’d been there along. Not a stranger, but a Father who could sense when something’s wrong. He answered all my questions, He understood my fears; that somehow vanished now that He was near. Can’t you see, who walks with you? Can’t you feel who speaks your name? Can’t... Read more
