    The GREAT reward of the Unequally Yoked

    Sum Nation. Lynn Donovan here. Today in my Bible reading I was reading through the book of Mark, Chapter 3: 28 “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; 29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is

    God’s Heavenly Perspective

    Ann here! I remember God showing me once, that during my SUM I would grow, grow and grow some more. I would grow until I was so tall and spindly that I would see everything with a heavenly perspective. He said, however, that I would cry a lot of tears as I grow. Oh yes,

  • Glory and a New Command

    Glory and a New Command

    Glory and a New Command (Read to the end. The prayer at the bottom is good) John, chapter 13, concludes with two messages. The first, Jesus is glorified. But what does that mean? I jumped into some research and the one-word-summary that fits is: honor. Father, is bestowing honor upon Jesus. And the honorable actions

  • Sow Bountifully, Reap Bountifully

    Sow Bountifully, Reap Bountifully

    Ann here! I have a little thought for us today: “He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. And he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” 2 Corinthians 9:6 (NKJV) Sowing. In a spiritually unequal marriage? Perhaps we can pause and think about this for a minute. When we’re in a spiritually unequal marriage,

    Belief vs Unbelief: The Power of Free Will

    Hi friends, Ann here! I've been thinking lately about the topic of belief vs. unbelief, and all the different spiritual ingredients that go into that. Like many of you, I have a mixture of believers and unbelievers in my life, and often look at those who don't believe and wonder what is going on there.

    Nabal, Abigail, and David -SUMITES in the Bible- Summer Bible Study

    We left our story in 1 Samuel 25 with Abigail meeting David with provisions and a great big “SORRY.” Whew, that sorry and the honor she bestowed upon David saved probably more than 100 people from bloodshed. (verse 33 & 34) She went home and arrived to ANOTHER drunken banquet. – Ugh! Abigale was likely

    What is Your Life’s Impact?

    By Ann Hutchison “Come to my prayer group!” a lady sidled up to me one day at church, eyeing me closely. It was early in my faith and I had questions. I’d been attending for weeks but still couldn’t help wondering if Christians were nuts to believe. Hers was an invite I decided to accept:

    Hi everyone, Ann here    Recently, Lynn shared a wonderful video about how she asked God for an egg and literally got an egg!  This story made me smile broadly. After all, if we ask for an egg God does not give us a scorpion (Luke 11:12). But it got me wondering what it means,
