Christians, Beware of the Enemy’s Snare
Over eight years ago, I felt the weight of these words I felt God led me to post on Facebook. A different government was in place in both Canada and the United States, and there was a growing sense of rage, frustration, and blame bubbling up from under a murky lake of discontent. The weight […]
Conditional Surrender? No Such Thing in God’s Kingdom
Conditional Surrender: An updated excerpt from “Dare to Call Him Friend“, by Katherine Walden, available on Amazon. There is no conditional surrender in the Kingdom of God.

Give a Hand Up and not a Kick to the Curb
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 […]
