Mighty Warrior. When the Lord called Gideon that, it felt like a lie. He’d just been caught in the act of hiding his hard-earned wages so the new guys in charge wouldn’t seize everything his family needed to survive. Judges 6:1-12. Aren’t we God’s people? Isn’t this the nation He founded for Himself? How couldContinue reading “Courage to Stand”

Only One Way Through This
Tensions are high these days. It’s easy to take your anger out on those you love. Please don’t do it. They are not your enemy. You do most definitely have an enemy. But it is not your family or even people at all. Ephesians 6:10-18. Please take the time you need to unplug. Stop theContinue reading “Only One Way Through This”
Lives Saved in Afghanistan
As we thank God this week for His blessings, let’s also thank Him for answered prayers for Afghanistan, for those who have been rescued from danger and for the courageous people who have been involved in those rescues.

Joy
What do you want for your life? If Jesus stood before you right now asking you that question, how would you answer Him?

Don’t Let Mistakes Rule You
This morning the Lord woke me up pointing to all the many ways He invites us to freedom, but we refuse to listen. Has that happened to you? Has someone confronted you on a sin, but you argued in self-defense? Gave all the more excuses for why you need to do that? Blamed someone else?Continue reading “Don’t Let Mistakes Rule You”
Freedom through Forgiveness
Mark 11:25, Romans 4:7; 12:14; Colossians 3:13; 1 Peter 4:8 Yesterday, the Lord awakened me inviting His people to open wide our hearts to forgive, to let the Lord set us free from the old offenses the enemy has still been using to yank us around. Then bitterness and fear will no longer control ourContinue reading “Freedom through Forgiveness”
Forgive
This morning, the Lord woke me up calling His bride to grace and forgiveness. Matthew 6:14-15; Psalm 32:1-5; Romans 12:17-21 When Jesus died on the cross, He paid for all our sin — from the tiniest infraction to that monstrous mistake we still regret. So, if our mile-high debt has been forgiven entirely, why areContinue reading “Forgive”
Fight the Right Fight
O Lord, if ever there was a time for Your church to rise up and shine, to throw off the bushels we’ve hidden Your light beneath, it is now. Matthew 5:14-16. Give us the mind of Christ to stop our bickering against one another about the things we actually agree upon, and to pray inContinue reading “Fight the Right Fight”
Fight to Follow
The more we surrender to Christ and walk as one with Him, the greater resistance we will experience not just from the world, but from within the church. Have you felt it yet? We have a real enemy. But it is not the verses that don’t fit into our agendas. And it’s not the brotherContinue reading “Fight to Follow”
