“Slow down!!” It wasn’t an audible voice. If it had been, I probably wouldn’t have heard it. Why? Because I’ve been too busy. Too busy to hear God. Too busy to take care of myself. Too busy to enjoy life. Too busy just trying to keep all the plates spinning. It’s been a hard few […]
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Be thankful in all circumstances. Have you ever really thought about that command? Be thankful in all circumstances. Not some. Not most. But all circumstances. I know last week was Thanksgiving here in the United States, but if […]
Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance. “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see […]

My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. John 10:10 This week, I was listening to a sermon on the anointing of God. The preacher, Dick Foth, mentioned he used to have a radio show in which he used the tagline, “It’s time to wake up and live!” That simple phrase completely […]

I’ve written over the past few weeks about peace. The Peace Index. His Perfect Peace. My peace being robbed from me. It’s been a very introspective period of my life as I’ve begun to look at who I am, who I want to be, where I am succeeding and where I am failing. I’ve been […]

Have you ever had a crisis of faith? If you don’t know what I am talking about, it’s a phrase I learned from Henry Blackaby’s Experiencing God. If you have never done this Bible study, I highly recommend it! Christians experience a crisis of faith when they sense God telling them to do something and they […]
I recently discovered that I have a significant gluten intolerance. I’ve suffered with a variety of strange ailments over the last few years, most of which I have associated with my low thyroid condition. However, some symptoms actually seemed to be completely antithetical to hypothyroid. As I’ve read about Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, I’ve learned many experts […]
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3 Have you ever experienced God’s perfect peace? That sense of calm and security that is completely inexplicable in the midst of life’s chaotic circumstances? Have you ever wondered how you can even be upright in light […]
God is the giver of peace. It’s throughout scripture. When we focus our minds on Him, we are covered with His perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3 When we take our concerns to Him in prayer with thanksgiving, His peace that surpasses understanding will guard our hearts and mind. Philippians 4:6-7 Jesus is called the Prince of […]
Throughout my years of writing about divorce, I have advocated for men and women who have found themselves in toxic and destructive marriages. Since I write from a Christian perspective, I often find people holding to the sanctity of marriage. I have no problem with that. I am a firm believer in one man, one […]
