No Need To Fear

Fear… It can be caused by almost anything. It can be triggered through people, hardship, loss, the past, and the unknown of the future. Fear is that feeling of anxiety or dread concerning the outcome of something; that your needs or desires will not be met. Fear is a good

A Wise Woman Speaks The Gospel

Speech is a beautiful gift. It distinguishes us from all earthly creations. It allows us to communicate with others, to pray to and praise God, and as William Stevens once said, the ability to speak “allies us to angelic beings.” But, as with all things tainted by sin, we have

When You’re Feeling Forsaken…

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” – Matthew 27:46 He lay on the table in anguish, strapped down like some criminal. Enduring an hour-long scan and all of the medical necessities that came with it was beyond my two year-old’s comprehension and almost more than my mama’s heart could bear. When he reached his

Don’t you think some of the hardest commands seem to be the ones that are the most clear and straightforward, like “be joyful always,” “pray without ceasing,” and our verse for today, “give thanks in all circumstances?” I find it hard because there are no loopholes; no room for excuses. We

To feel like an outsider– unwelcomed, uncomfortable, overlooked, excluded, misunderstood, looked down upon

What Makes Life Worth Living?

“There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment?” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭2:24-25‬ ‭ What matters most? Where does

The Faithful Shepherd

Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Psalm 100:3 Most of us are very familiar with Psalm 23. It is beautiful poetry showing us that God is like a gentle,

A Debt We Cannot Pay Back

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the

Revive Me- Psalm 119:25-48

Revive. It stirs up strong feelings of desire for me. In Psalm 119:25,  it says, “My soul cleaves to the dust; Revive me according to your Word.” In other versions it uses words like “quicken” and “give me life,” but revive brings about a beautiful word picture. Revive means making
