Christians’ Response to Violence

On Sunday, a mass shooter open-fired on those gathered for lunch at Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California, killing one and injuring five. The man who died actually gave his life to save the others. He confronted the shooter, who shot him multiple times. If it wasn’t for that sacrifice, many more may have died.Continue reading “Christians’ Response to Violence”

Prayer for Anxious Hearts

Lord, be our Shield. Block fear from invading our minds, hearts, and homes. When anxiety, worry, and panic overcome us, we have trouble trusting in Your Sovereignty and Your heart of Love. We try to take control, but everything’s so out of control, especially our racing hearts and spiraling thoughts. Rescue us, O Lord, fromContinue reading “Prayer for Anxious Hearts”

Families Torn Apart by War

It’s All About Me

The way is narrowing, and less and less of those who think they are Mine will make it through. Whatever you’re holding onto — grudges, financial security, selfish desires, lust — whatever you’ve been spending your time, thoughts and efforts on that I have not called you to — you must let go now. ItContinue reading “It’s All About Me”
