Lord, we ask You today for our fathers, both earthly and spiritual. Bless them abundantly, and draw them all the closer to You. Show them the ways You want to use them for Your glory, and give them courage to step out in those things and to do everything in Your empowering. Lead them toContinue reading “Pray for Fathers”

Praying for Our Families

Give us wisdom in every situation to know what to say and to do to care for our spouse’s heart and our children’s. Bind usContinue reading “Praying for Our Families”
No Compromise
Nearly every day we hear of one more way a church or Christian leader has compromised, embracing worldly viewpoints and sin, bowing to those idols. This is nothing new. For all throughout the Bible we see God’s people bowing left and right to anything but Him. But cleansing of the church begins with our ownContinue reading “No Compromise”
Family Unity for Ministers
Ministry can take its toll on kids, especially if parents are so involved in their work they don’t take vacations or spend daily and weekly quality time as a family. In counseling missionary families whose children have walked away from the Lord or made other devastating decisions, I have found that, most often, the childrenContinue reading “Family Unity for Ministers”
Walking Toward Oneness
When we go through trials, it’s easy to look around and think, “Why doesn’t she have this problem? Am I the only one going through this?” or “Why does God heal him but not me?” or “Why is my marriage in pieces, and that other couple is so blessed?” The truth is we all haveContinue reading “Walking Toward Oneness”
For Fathers
As Fathers Day approaches this coming Sunday, here’s some encouragement from the heart of our Perfect Father: My son, I know your heart. You have longed to be the perfect father, to not make the same mistakes your own father did, to raise your children up to love Me, to empower them to be allContinue reading “For Fathers”
What Keeps the Called from Their Calling
Did you know that the three main issues hindering today’s missionary candidates from qualifying for overseas ministry are lack of a biblical worldview, addiction to pornography and mental health issues? The same goes for upcoming pastors, worship leaders and other Christian influencers. More and more Christians fall prey to Satan’s attacks through social media andContinue reading “What Keeps the Called from Their Calling”

Ministry can take its toll on kids, especially if parents are so involved in their work they don’t take vacations or spend daily and weekly quality time as a family.

Family Unity for Ministers
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, others have left the faith and made devastating choices. In fact, atContinue reading “Family Unity for Ministers”
