The Way Through This

Today, I felt the Lord saying to us: Time is running out. The forces of darkness and those who serve them are watching you. You must rise up and love. No more room for pride. Lay it down. All your opinions and ideas at My feet. All your need to be heard. Your anger. YourContinue reading “The Way Through This”

Loving Deeper

Let’s make this celebration of Christ’s birth memorable because of how we choose to LOVE. Lord, help us lay down all our grudges, fears, pride and regrets, so we can LOVE, even as You first loved us. Set us free from the things that hold us back from more of You, and give us courage toContinue reading “Loving Deeper”

Moldovan Children’s Home Helps Refugees

When refugees from Ukraine flooded across the border into the small European country of Moldova (about 188 km from Ukraine’s hard-hit Odesa), Christians scrambled to help. Despite high gas prices, they drove vans to the border to carry refugees to churches, Christian camps, and other safe shelters, and then donated mattresses, sheets and other neededContinue reading “Moldovan Children’s Home Helps Refugees”

Teen Helps Save Four Lives

When three teen girls mistakenly drove off a boat ramp into the Pascagoula River in Mississippi last weekend, 16-year-old Corion Evans saw them and dove in to save their lives. A police officer also showed up to help, but soon needed saving himself. “Four times he went in that water fighting to save those individuals,”Continue reading “Teen Helps Save Four Lives”

Satanist Leader Resigns

Riaan Swiegelaar, co-founder of the South African Satanic Church, resigned from his position in May, shortly after an astounding display of unconditional love by Christians “when I was a monster.” One couple showed him Christ’s love by responding to him with kindness and grace. And just after a radio interview, where the satanic priest announced,Continue reading “Satanist Leader Resigns”

Christians’ Response to Violence

On Sunday, a mass shooter open-fired on those gathered for lunch at Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California, killing one and injuring five. The man who died actually gave his life to save the others. He confronted the shooter, who shot him multiple times. If it wasn’t for that sacrifice, many more may have died.Continue reading “Christians’ Response to Violence”

Raising Up Warrior Women of God

Let’s pray for our daughters today…. Lord, please grow our daughters up to love You with all their hearts. Protect them from the plots of the enemy to harm them or draw them away from You. Be a Shield around them, and give them wisdom to choose the paths that lead to LIFE, rather thanContinue reading “Raising Up Warrior Women of God”

Courage to Forgive

Is there anyone I haven’t forgiven yet? Show me, please, Lord, and give me courage to forgive. Forgiveness is not saying that what the offender did is okay. Sin is never okay.  And it’s not forgetting, although forgetting sometimes happens as a result of forgiveness. Forgiveness is cutting the tie that binds your heart toContinue reading “Courage to Forgive”

Seeing through Love’s Eyes

Misunderstandings are one of the enemy’s favorite tactics for dividing relationships, especially marriages. If he can plant thoughts in our mind about hidden motives or meanings behind what someone says, then he has tricked us into obeying his lead, rather than the Spirit’s. Such “mind-reading” is dangerous because of James 4:11-12 and Matthew 7:1-5. OnlyContinue reading “Seeing through Love’s Eyes”

Wings to Soar

As Valentine’s Day nears, take some time to ask the Lord how you’re doing with love. In what ways has the enemy used you to weary, slander, attack or hurt the one you love? How have you allowed the troubles of this world to consume your thoughts and determine how you feel and act? HasContinue reading “Wings to Soar”
