The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 I’ll be honest, I never thought I’d get married. Partially because I just wasn’t raised thinking about marriage and partially because I was the product of a marriage based on very little respect forContinue reading “A Plan for Us”

Contend for the Faith
Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richlyContinue reading “Contend for the Faith”
Sojourners & Exiles
No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 2 Timothy 2:4 We Christians are sojourners and exiles. This is not where our ultimate allegiance lies! David Van Drunen, Politics After Christendom We certainly aren’t lacking in opportunities to engage in political discourse these days. From maskContinue reading “Sojourners & Exiles”
We Say Yes
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 A few years ago, God put my faith listening ears and my trust in Him to the test. HeContinue reading “We Say Yes”
Slow to Speak
Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Mark 14:61 I sat in that meeting surrounded by men. I was the only woman on the coaching staff and thatContinue reading “Slow to Speak”
The Purposeful Path
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. 3 John 11 When I was first researching the word “resolute” I came across the tiny village of Resolute in the province of Nunavut, Canada. Back in 1999, Canada created a new province from the original NorthernContinue reading “The Purposeful Path”
Walking The Talk
The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness. Isaiah 38:19 I have a confession to make. I wasn’t an intentional Christian parent. Church was often relegated to the backseat during softball season (which pretty much lasts 9 months). I didn’t make sure my kids were involved in Christian youth groups. WhenContinue reading “Walking The Talk”
The Midol Woman
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 I love watching the British tv show Midsommer Murders. I’m a detective fan since my young girl days of hiding my Nancy Drew books inside my school desk andContinue reading “The Midol Woman”
Our Quarrelsome World
And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, whoContinue reading “Our Quarrelsome World”
The Great I Am
God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14 This week I’ve been reading a lot about going ahead of God. Thinking I know the right way, the right answer, and moving forward on that path without first seeking God. IContinue reading “The Great I Am”
