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 ...

Do you remember the words of Rod Stewart’s song, ”Have I told you lately that I love you?” I may be dating myself by even bringing it up, but it’s a classic. Most people listen to it and think of their love-interest (spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend) and I have to admit I’ve been known to sing this song to my ...

I told my brother, “I am learning so much about prayer. I know God hears us when we pray and I don’t need to beg Him to do something His Word clearly says is already His desire. Instead, I feel like my prayers have become a warfare against all the fiery darts of the enemy.” On August 11, 2021, I ...

We live in an hour where short-lived faith won’t suffice. What I mean is, if you and I are going to endure to the end as Jesus encouraged, it’s going to take more than Sunday morning faith. Last year, my daughter-in-law climbed Mount Kilimanjaro (or “Kili” as they like to call it). It was a trip her dad has made ...

A new season is upon us! But what to do? Will we repeat what we’ve always done? Or will we see new growth in the areas that matter most to us? I’d like to say, if we follow God’s way of doing things, there will be growth. And here’s why: Blessed is the man [or woman] who walks not in ...

Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?” (Genesis 50:19). Have you ever wished you could make decisions for God? Or maybe, you’ve been on the other side of that and you’re so glad you’re not God because you would’ve made the wrong decision. Either way, I imagine we’ve all had similar ...
