Off My High Horse and on My Face

A real-live battle between good and evil rages, and we are in the midst of it. Ephesians 6:10-12. We have a real enemy, and it’s not our brother or sister.

Quiet Times with God

What distracts you from having a quiet time every day? Or from breaking away for a personal retreat alone with God every now and then? Remember, the enemy’s main aim is to keep you from praying, to draw you away from God, to stop you from bringing Him glory. That means the best way toContinue reading “Quiet Times with God”

Safety in Surrender

What have you been holding back from the only One Who can make all things work together for good? Romans 8:28.
