Oh ye of little faith! Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. Matthew 8:26 Do you ever get frustrated with the Israelites? Do you ever think you would be so different than the disciples…
Overwhelmed. Have you ever felt that way? Maybe you are overwhelmed by the many things clamoring for your attention. As a single mom, you have kids needing your attention. Or bills that need to be paid. Or everyone you know and love experiencing pain. Or you just feel like there’s not enough of you to…
So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.

Have you ever found yourself looking at your circumstances, frustrated by the lack of progress? Overwhelmed by the difficulties?

I listened to Sunday’s sermon from my son’s church this morning. It was Celebration Sunday, an event they schedule every May and December. It is a day designated to celebrate the work God is doing in their midst. In scripture, we often see the Israelites celebrate God’s work. After they crossed the Red Sea and…
Several years ago, I wrote An Open Letter to Lysa TerKeurst when she announced her pending divorce from her husband of nearly 30 years following his adultery. Since that time, TerKeurst has gone through reconciliation attempts, cancer, divorce, and remarriage. This morning, I read an article from a question and answer session with TerKeurst as…
What’s holding you back in your relationship with God? The last few months, God has made it clear to me that I’ve been guilty of idolatry. No, I don’t have a hidden trove of wooden, golden, and silver statues hidden away, but I have been hiding an idol within my heart. You see, I have…
Last month, I had the joy of partnering with our church to bless over 20 single moms. We provided a dinner for the moms and kids, provided several activities for the kids, and allowed each child to pick a Christmas gift for his/her mom. My daughter and I also had the privilege of sharing from…
One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets…
