Tiny foundational cracks become fault lines when great stress is applied. What causes one person’s life to shatter may not be what causes another person’s downfall. In 2020, marriages are falling apart, and social isolation is leading to lapses in recovery and sobriety. Yes, there are plenty of self-help tools out there. Unless a support […]
Work from His Presence
Work from an awareness of God’s presence and approval. Don’t work to prove that you are worthy of His presence and approval. Ephesians 4:10 (NKJV) We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. When I write within God’s presence and from an […]
Exhausted by Passivity?
Is this season of forced inactivity lulling you into passivity and deadening your spiritual senses? I felt the Lord nudge me to write from a place of rest. Okay, it was more than a nudge, it was more like an elbow in the ribs. He’s been trying to get my attention in this area as […]
Pause – Just for Today
Life can be heavy. Wave after wave of ‘what’s next?’ threaten to knock us down. We struggle to find our spiritual balance. The truth is, we are standing on the rock. The truth is we are safe. The truth is we are loved and cherished. But we can’t hear that truth if we are standing […]

Every day there is something new to face, what we were told yesterday will change tomorrow. The normal setting seems to have disappeared. We’re dealing with constant change and uncertainty, economic instability and isolation from friends […]
You Do Have a Role To Play in the Body
1 Corinthians 12:12-17 – “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one […]
Book Review – Christians in the Age of Outrage
I read Christians in the Age of Outrage by Ed Stetzer, and I would urge you to consider reading it as well. I will provide a link to the book on Amazon but will forgo attaching an affiliate link to the book, as I don’t want to make money from my recommendation. Ed Stetzer places […]
Bless You – More Than a Nice Thing to Say
I just want to bless you in the name of the Lord. Now, you might be thinking, isn’t that a sweet Christian thing to say. Let me stop you in your tracks. There is power in the blessing of the Lord. In March 2020, a song called “The Blessing” hit Christian airwaves. It’s sung with […]
