I grew up overseas, as the daughter of missionaries. Many of my MK (missionary kid) friends have excelled in life. They feel at home, no matter where they are in the world, and the Lord uses them in powerful ways. In stark contrast, other MK friends have left the faith and made devastating choices. AfterContinue reading “Family Unity for Ministers”

Rest
My beloved bride, today I’m calling you to rest in Me. Don’t be like the wife who rushes about to please her Husband, doing things I never asked you to do and missing out on the one thing that matters. Luke 10:38-42. Come, sit with Me awhile. Listen to My voice. Hear My heart forContinue reading “Rest”
Pray for Our Children
Lord, we ask You, please, for our children. Guard their hearts. Watch over them as they play. Keep their minds and eyes and hearts and bodies pure. Don’t let any hurt or harm come to them. Give them a hunger for You, Lord, that drives them to read the Bible; and each time they do,Continue reading “Pray for Our Children”
Leading through Love – Matthew 22:37-40
Satan wants to keep us so busy with even good causes that we forget the eternal thing that matters most: Love. 1 John 4:8. How much we accomplish or how great others think we are won’t amount to anything in the end. Only how well we loved. 1 Corinthians 13. So many marriages, families, teams,Continue reading “Leading through Love – Matthew 22:37-40”
Don’t Give in to Distractions
I had a series of dreams last night. In each one, I was given a precious gift from the Lord. In some dreams, it was something I worked hard for through the Lord’s leading; in others, it was purely a blessing from His hand; and in the last dream, it was something dear to meContinue reading “Don’t Give in to Distractions”
Good News for an Abundant Life
There is only one God. He is the Creator of the Universe, infinite, all-powerful, perfect, holy. He created us because He loves us and wants us to enjoy Him and love others through His love. That is our whole reason for being. But sin, our prideful, selfish thoughts and actions separate us from this holyContinue reading “Good News for an Abundant Life”
Every Nation Under Heaven
In Acts 2, during Pentecost (which we celebrated yesterday), the Spirit came upon the apostles like fire, and they began preaching in the tongues of those gathered there “from every nation under heaven” (Acts 2:5), leading thousands to faith in Christ. Those languages and countries are many of the very places in the world thatContinue reading “Every Nation Under Heaven”
A Third of Us
Did you know that 1/3 of the world has been denied access to the Good News? That’s right. Nearly 2.3 billion people are cut off from hearing Jesus’ name. Most of these live in nations closed off to the Gospel message because of oppressive governments and/or religions. Missionaries are forbidden, Christians are persecuted, and seekersContinue reading “A Third of Us”
Light Up the World – John 8:12
I had a dream that the armies of God were spying on the enemy, breaking apart his plans before they could ever be put in place. Lord, break apart the enemy’s plans before they even start. Shut him down completely. Make his every move so laughable and silly, no person will go along with it.Continue reading “Light Up the World – John 8:12”
Using Our Trials Well
How have the pandemic and other events of this past year nudged you to do more of the things that matter most? Have you spent more time in prayer? Rested? Given quality time to your spouse and children? Begun doing Bible study together with them? Reached out to bless your neighbors and share Christ withContinue reading “Using Our Trials Well”
