Idols Down
One morning, the Lord awakened me to the song Endless Alleluia, and a vision of idols toppling to the ground on their faces.

The Matthew 18:15 Principle
Today, I feel the Lord leading us to examine our own hearts, especially with regard to how we handle conflict.

Choosing What Is Eternal
When this messy world is so up in your face, it’s hard to focus on eternal things, isn’t it? For instance, a headache can take precedence over being loving and kind. But a headache is temporal.
