Thankful Thursday: Masculine and Feminine
This week I want to give thanks to God for his wisdom in creating men and women, masculine and feminine. Several months ago my friend Karen emailed me the day following a great discussion about my favorite topic, marriage. We were discussing what constitutes a healthy and balanced marriage. We determined marriage is rarely fair…

Hope That Endures
How do we keep hoping when everything we see tells us there is no hope? The very definition of faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hebrew 11:1). But how do we apply that to situations that leave us hope-less? So often I see the…

The Great Hope Maker
Last week, I posted about enduring hope. At the end of the article, I included this verse as part of a prayer. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)…

The Battle Cry – The Vision
The Full Armor of God: What is it? When should we wear it? Do we put it on? Is it clothing? Do I need to dress like a Roman? Why do I need to be concerned about some ancient armor the Romans wore? Are we at war? What great questions you have asked. Okay, I…

My vow to him: His vow to me: To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part. I think about these vows and realize as I spoke…

Ephesians Chapter Six. Are we at War?
About two weeks ago the Lord brought before me Ephesians, chapter six. For the first time I heard the words written there expressed in a way that was different, new understanding. I was moved by the real power residing in those living words. I began to think about all of the readers who stop in…

Daily, the news bombards us with the ugliest of human kind. People disappoint us. Loyalty is evasive. Our efforts sometimes go unrecognized and even criticized. But…..…

Aaron and Hur
Exodus 17:12 (New International Version) 12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up-one on one side, one on the other-so that his hands remained steady till sunset. Do you remember this story? I was reading this…
