Are You Filled with Faith? Or Fear?
The same night I experienced two dreams. In the first, I saw a woman looking out at the mountains rising high and beautiful ahead of her and all around her in the wilderness. I heard the Lord say “New horizons,” and felt the exhilerating joy of adventure. Wrapped in the presence of the One WhoContinue reading “Are You Filled with Faith? Or Fear?”
Christians Jailed for Their Faith
UGANDA: On the third day of an evangelistic campaign in Soroti, a crowd of Muslims beat the Christian preachers for quoting the Quran. Police then arrested two of the evangelists, Joseph Omadi and Isaac Napakol, for “wounding the religious feelings” of the Muslim community.

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”
