The Intentional Marriage – A Look at 1Peter 3:1-5
In case you didn’t get to watch our live broadcast, here’s the recording of The Intentional Marriage show from yesterday. I will warn you that I got a little emotional, but in a good way! LOL! But I did. God is filling my heart with so much new stuff right now, I can’t even put…

Weekend Devo – God Rocked My World with a Hook!
Did I ever tell you the story of how God provided shoes in the exact color I needed? It's a story I hold close to my heart because it reminds me how He truly cares about every detail in our lives. I'd searched all over the place for a pair of shoes in a certain…

Weekend Devo – Faith of a Mother
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession.” Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her…

Building Big Faith
Over the weekend Dineen shared a fantastic post ~Big Faith… If you missed it, scroll down and take a minute. So today I must follow up that post with a question. How do I develop BIG FAITH? I was pondering this very question and the Lord answered. Isn’t that just like the Lord? Sunday mornings,…

Weekend Devo – BIG FAITH!
When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly,…

The Bright Morning Star
We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. – 2Peter 1:19 I loved reading this particular verse this past week because its…

Weekend Devo – Loving When It’s Hard
I know sometimes it's not easy to love difficult people. Sometimes it's hard to love our spouses too, especially when there's a lot of hurt and disappointment in the relationship. I read this devotional yesterday and thought it so applicable to our mismatched marriages. We truly can't love our spouses the way Christ calls us…

Weekend Devo – The Key to Being Content
This is a post I wrote in Spring of 2008 and a topic worth revisiting. Blessings! Have you ever had one of those weeks where you notice a common theme?

Weekend Devo – Watch, Pray, Love
"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with…

Weekend Devo – God’s in the Details
That's why I don't think there's any comparison between the present hard times and the coming good times. The created world itself can hardly wait for what's coming next. Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be…
