I had a dream of people walking around with imaginary self-protective “walls” that in reality were just thin lines — a mere thread — not a wall at all. Just like we often do, the people in this dream came on way too strong in each situation, too self-important, too conscious of how they look,Continue reading “Only Hidden in Christ Are We Safe”

Unleashing Truth
These days, it feels like our freedoms are slipping away. Those who speak truth or stand up for certain rights can find themselves persecuted severely, even placed in jail. However, the problems we are facing, as earthly as they feel, are spiritual. As much as those who persecute feel like the enemy, they are not.Continue reading “Unleashing Truth”

Prayer for the Nation from Joel 2
Lord, we ask You to lift the cloud of darkness from over this nation, the world, and every heart. Raise up an army of prayer warriors who will fight for us.

Faith and Refocus
Lord, sometimes it feels as if the enemy is assaulting us from all sides, and the fury of all that comes against us feels greater than we can withstand. But for You, O God.

Continued Prayer for Uvalde
A retired pastor, great grandfather of one of the fallen children in the Uvalde tragedy, told those gathered at a prayer vigil Thursday night he does not want to have hate in his heart for the murderer. In the aftermath of last Tuesday’s mass shooting at an elementary school in the small Texan community, speciallyContinue reading “Continued Prayer for Uvalde”

On Saturday, Christians from the Kings Assembly Pentecostal Church in Rivers State, Nigeria, set out to offer hope to their community by hosting a charity event with free clothing, shoes and other items. People began arriving before dawn to secure their place in line, but before the gates opened at 9 a.m., the crowd brokeContinue reading “Deadly Stampede in Nigeria”
Sandstorms in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia
The ninth sandstorm since April ripped through Iraq this past week, hospitalizing more than 1,000 people with respiratory problems. Kuwait has also been affected, and Saudi Arabia suffered its second heavy sandstorm in just a few days. But these countries face far greater sorrow, as their many peoples have been cut off from the GospelContinue reading “Sandstorms in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia”
