Sometimes you have to go back to the beginning. Why am I here? How did I get here? What am I doing? Am I making a difference? These are natural human questions pointed directly toward the only One who can answer them. For some, it leads to salvation. I know it did for me. Or at least the first three ...

I have a sweet friend who used to teach kindergarten. She told me about a discussion some of her students once had about Easter. She said one particular little girl told the others, “It’s just so sad that Jesus has to die every year.” I laughed when I heard this story. The innocence of children always makes me smile. Obviously, ...

God is using Mirror Ministries to reach an unseen people group: prison inmates. We receive mail every week from men and women requesting our books and most letters share a testimony of what they are learning and how these resources are helping them. Let’s call today “Testimony Tuesday” –I want to glorify the work God is doing in lives behind ...

It’s hard to say what a proper response to God is, meaning, it’s difficult to define because it has to be authentic. For sure, I think it’s safe to say those who approach God must have faith. “For without faith, it is impossible to please Him…” (Hebrews 11:6). This is definitely a necessary ingredient no matter what posture we take ...

“The wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God…” –but a repentant heart does. Whether you thought it was staged or not, everyone who watched (or heard about) the Oscars on Sunday saw this play out for us perfectly. Will Smith apparently got angry with host Chris Rock for using his wife as the brunt of a joke ...

There is a rest in God. To rest means to cease from work— and in the Christian world, ”works” is not a word we want to get entangled with. Religion produces works. The do’s and don’ts become bondage and often turn people away from the One who would give them the real rest they seek. I recently told a group ...

I was recently listening to a podcast with Dan Mohler, who came highly recommended because of his teachings on our identity in Christ. Many of you know this is one of my favorite topics, so I was pretty excited as I listened to Dan explain this thought: Jesus didn’t die because you have sin. He died because you have destiny. ...

I recently had the opportunity to minister to a group of ladies at a women’s conference. I shared with them from 2 Corinthians 3:18, which says, “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” I ...

“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet” (Matthew 24:6). Aren’t you thankful Jesus told us of things to come— and how we should respond. The Passion Translation says, “You will hear of wars and revolutions on every ...

I woke up this morning with this rolling around in my spirit: The anointing of God precedes you, prepares you, and propels you. As I laid in bed considering this thought, each word reminded me of seasons in my life. The Bible describes the anointing as a priestly portion in the Old Testament and a communication and reception of the ...
