In Acts 2, during Pentecost (which we celebrate today), the Spirit came upon the apostles like fire, and they began preaching in the tongues of those gathered there “from every nation under heaven” (Acts 2:5), leading thousands to faith in Christ. What a beautiful picture of a loving God making His truth known to theContinue reading “Pentecost Proclamation”

Set Apart … to LOVE
What has your mind dwelt on lately? What subject has moved you into heated conversations? And how are you shining Christ? There are topics the world has taken on that may not be what God is saying or the focus He wants us to have as His bride. He has given us one task: MatthewContinue reading “Set Apart … to LOVE”
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. One way the enemy gets us to do his dirty work is through saying bad things about someone, rather than letting God transform us. Most of the problems we have with others really are our own.Continue reading “The Matthew 18:15 Principle”
Take Up Your Mat and Walk with Me
Our world is barreling fast into places of no return. We must throw off our sin and the thoughts that spiral us out of control, rise up and walk with the Lord now, as one with Him, or we may not make it through what is to come. The days are coming when you mustContinue reading “Take Up Your Mat and Walk with Me”
Pray We Will Fight the Right Fight
Prayer. It’s the only way through this. The problems we are facing, as earthly as they feel, they are spiritual. Ephesians 6:12. As much as those who persecute feel like the enemy, they are not. We know who our enemy truly is. Let’s band together and fight. With so many lies promoted in the media,Continue reading “Pray We Will Fight the Right Fight”
Faith in the One Who Never Fails
So many have lost hope. But God is still Good. He is still the answer we’re looking for. Only He can save us from the messes we’re in. Only He can make something beautiful of it all. Today, let’s meditate on Isaiah 51:6. Mikaela Vincent and her husband are missionaries who live by faith, trustingContinue reading “Faith in the One Who Never Fails”
In Step with the Spirit
Prayer is not a one-way “talk,” where we ask God to do for us the things we want and then get upset at Him when He doesn’t answer the way we expect. Prayer is a two-way conversation. In fact, the longer you walk with God, the better you know His Word, and the closer youContinue reading “In Step with the Spirit”
Ukrainian Refugees Now
About a year ago, we published this prayer below for Ukrainians fleeing their home country as the invasion began. Today, I felt the Lord asking us to re-visit that post, as we continue to pray for this country torn apart by war. There are now more than 8 million Ukrainian refugees spread throughout Europe andContinue reading “Ukrainian Refugees Now”
May Our Homes Be Filled with Love
Lord, please fill our homes with Your presence and Your love. Set us free from the sins and wrong thought processes that make it difficult for our children to see You as You truly are. Empower us with Your love, embolden us with Your grace, and teach us to forgive. Give us wisdom in everyContinue reading “May Our Homes Be Filled with Love”
For the Anxious Heart
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 “For the Anxious Heart”
