Missing Persons

If someone was looking for you, where would they search for you? Would people who know you say you are about the Father’s business?

Burying Fear

The parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 is a familiar parable, but something new hit me this time that I never considered. In verse 24-25, when the master returns and asks for an accounting of the talents he gave to each servant, the man given one talent told him he buried it in the […]

Prayer Journey—Self Control

This is the final installment of praying through the fruit of the Spirit. Each week I focused on one word in Galatians 5:22-23. Today’s word is self control.

God hand crafted each of us with the ability to accomplish His purpose. It is easy to become scared about what he asks us to do — seeing only reasons why it’s not possible.

So All Goes Well
