We are facing days such as never before. And the battles we fight are not what the world says they are. This is a spiritual battle we are in, and LOVE is the way we win. Romans 8. Now is the time to set aside whatever has been keeping you from the heart work you’veContinue reading “Stand on Love and You Will Stand”

Nigeria: More Than 160 Massacred at Christmas
At least 160 people died, more than 300 sustained injuries, and hundreds of homes burned to the ground over Christmas weekend in brutal attacks on more than 20 mostly Christian communities in the Bokkos and Barkin Ladi region of Plateau State, Nigeria.

Loving the Lost – John 3:16
The fact that so much of the world still has not heard the good news could be more a love problem than one of restricted access. How deeply do you love? How far are you willing to go to see Christ’s Kingdom come to the ends of the earth? Will you share with your neighbors? WithContinue reading “Loving the Lost – John 3:16”
Do You Measure Up?
Our kids tend to lean on God the same way they lean on us. So, if we’re telling them all the ways they don’t measure up, they’re likely to see God as displeased with them, as well. Maybe that’s something you also experienced that is still a struggle for you today. It’s easy to imagineContinue reading “Do You Measure Up?”
Freedom through Forgiveness
In yesterday’s post, the Lord was calling us as His people to open wide our hearts to forgive, to let Him set us free from the old offenses the enemy still uses to yank us around, so bitterness and fear will no longer control our reactions, but LOVE, grace and peace will. Mark 11:25, RomansContinue reading “Freedom through Forgiveness”
Forgive
This morning, I felt the Lord leading us back to forgiveness. Matthew 6:14-15; Psalm 32:1-5; Romans 12:17-21 When Jesus died on the cross, He paid for all our sin — from the tiniest infraction to that monstrous mistake we still regret. So, if our mile-high debt has been forgiven entirely, why are we so botheredContinue reading “Forgive”
Three and Three Hostages Returned to Israel
Yesterday, during combat in Shejaiya, Gaza, Israeli Defense Forces mistakenly killed three hostages who had managed to escape from Hamas: Yotam Haim (m, 28, abducted from Kfar Azza); Samer Talalka (m, 22, abducted from Nir Am kibbutz); and Alon Shamriz (m, 26, abducted from Kfar Azza). Just before that tragic event, the bodies of threeContinue reading “Three and Three Hostages Returned to Israel”
Warmth for the Lonely
Winters are cold in the dark area of the world where the Lord called our family to share the gospel for almost 30 years. Lots of snow and ice. Not many people outside. It can feel quite lonely, especially when you’re the only Christian around and an oppressive government forbids Christmas. No, I’m not talking about the Grinch,Continue reading “Warmth for the Lonely”
Caught in a Battle Not Their Own, Lebanese Christians Choose Love
The day after Hamas invaded Israel, Hezbollah shot rockets from Lebanon, and Israel returned fire. The shelling that Sunday morning hit near churches gathered for worship in about a dozen Christian villages in southern Lebanon. Since then, many believers’ homes have been destroyed and their farmlands and surrounding forests set ablaze by hits from bothContinue reading “Caught in a Battle Not Their Own, Lebanese Christians Choose Love”
Pray for Awakening and Transformation
Awaken our nation to You, O God. Get up in our face. Invade our space. Demand our attention. Distract us with Your love. Lift the veil from our eyes and show us who You truly are. Knock down our idols. Set us free from our sin. Heal our minds and hearts. Transform us by YourContinue reading “Pray for Awakening and Transformation”
