Hope Floats
Praying over this post, this is what the Lord gave me. And I thought, "Ok. Hope is really a perfect topic for Holy Week." I mean…that's really what its all about. Freeing us of the bonds of sin and giving us hope in the security of eternity. But I still didn't get it. Hope floats?

Weekend Worship – Holy Hummingbirds, Batman!
My wonderful and precious friends, I wish we could all be in one room worshipping God together. What a sweet incense that would be, rising up to our Lord, wouldn't it? The beautiful part is, one day we will get to do this. Our room will be the throneroom of heaven and we will all

Born to Create
I have a bone to pick. Something that has bugged me for years. It's not quite on topic with being spiritually mismatched but then again, this one change in your thinking could change every aspect of your life. Care to pick that bone with me? It's about creativity. For as long as I can remember

We are Equipped!
As we walk in our faith, God continually puts a call on our hearts to be more like Jesus. It's a mystery we will walk through our entire time here and is part of God's Kingdom come here on Earth and is part of God's great plan. The mystery is that people who have never

Weekend Worship – Praying On Our Armor
We're reaching the end of our spiritual warfare series, my friends, and I can't think of a better way to punctuate all we've learned than praying on our armor of God. Join me in prayer and then let's praise God for His outlandish and extravagant love for us. Ephesians 6:10-18Lord, we are strong in You

Weary of the Battle?
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. – Vince Lombardi My friends, today I want to speak to those of you who are

God Knows Your Name
My friends, I have just loved reading all your comments on Wednesday’s post! You are so fired up and ready for battle. I told you I had something special for you today. This is the other side of our warrior armor and is grounded in the heart of our Precious Lord, our Abba Father, who

How the Enemy Targets Us
My dear friends, I want you to know that I am praying for you all through this series. I truly sense God is moving us to new places, to take new territories in our lives and regain territories we have lost too. Last week I talked about the enemy’s tactics, namely his attempts to keep

Can A Christian Be Oppressed?
It started in a garden… Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” People were given authority over the entire planet. And

Welcome To The Terrorist Training Camp
On this bright and crisp Monday morning where it is colder here in Temecula (So California) than Chicago, I WELCOME YOU. I also welcome the FBI who likely will be reading this series because their computers have just detected a blog using the words “Terrorist Training Camp.” Hi Guys!!! Yep, that’s us. For the next

Weekend Worship – His Glory Appears
This song from Hillsong brings me to tears at it's tenderness and truth. It's hauntingly beautfiul. And it's the perfect way to begin worshiping our sweet Jesus this weekend as we get ready for our week of fasting and praying. Be sure to come back tomorrow and read Rosheeda's post to get us ready for

Welcome to 2013!
For the last month I've started praying for words for myself and my family and specific Scriptures to go with them. In the past my words for the year have come in the quietness of my prayers and in the tenderizing of my heart by God's gracious hand. But this year's word has shown up

Let Us Tell You a Story…
There once were two ordinary women who said yes to God and their lives have been an adventure ever since. Yep, that's the story of Lynn and I but the story I really want to tell you is about our publisher, Regal Books (aka Gospel Light). Lynn and I with our amazing editor, Kim

Who’s Your Daddy?
Okay, I’m totally ripping off Lynn and some tacky song thing, right? But it’s what popped into my head and those are usually my best lines. (wink) With that said, I’m going to share a few tidbits of my past that, well, I really didn’t plan or want to but God’s giving me the nudge

Weekend Worship – Let Your Love Loose!
Like Lynn said in yesterday's post, love has the power to conquer all. As I read that a fuller impact of what it means really hit home. This is something I've known since a child. Not sure how other than God just wired me that way, but I never fully understood what kind of love

How Much Does Jesus Love You?
For the last several months I’ve heard a constant theme about love from Christians all over the world. God is speaking very loudly to His children right now and the message is about His love and His call to love people. The message is everywhere and, in my opinion, is unmistakably a sign of His
