Prayer Journey—Genuine Love

“…in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love…” – 2 Corinthians 6:6 Dear God, fill the emptiness of this world with knowledge of you. Fill the voids with your patience, your kindness. May your Spirit fill the hearts of those longing for genuine love, your love; a love […]

Sunday Praise

Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually. Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth, – 1 Chronicles 16:11-12 (NASB)

Lonely Days; Where Would I Be Without God?

It is hard to remember when we struggle with pain that it is a temporal thing we go through on this earth. The sorrow is real and at times it seems never ending. Yet God is faithful.

The Privilege of Working in God’s Vineyard

So much of what we do in this world is measured by what we accomplish. Throughout my career, the work experience on my resume often determined whether I was given a job or not. It usually depended on if the people making the decision to hire determined if I was the best candidate for the […]

Fear kicks in and I become more concerned about myself and my ego than how I […]

#WednesdayWalk—Doorpost of Faith

He had seen the plagues strike Egypt, one after another, causing havoc and destroying the land. He had witnessed such power at the hand of God. Could they finally be on the verge of freedom from the heavy hand of Egyptian rulers after centuries of crying out to God? He never dreamed he would see […]
