Do you take your faith “way too seriously”? Have you been left out or scorned because of it? Have others deliberately tried to hurt you because of the Name of Christ you wear? We need only look at our society to know the winds of persecution are fiercely gathering against those who honor Christ andContinue reading “Keep it up…”

In John 11, her brother, Lazarus, had died and Martha sits mourning with friends and her sister, Mary. They are told Jesus is coming. Martha bursts out of the house and goes to meet Him. She ran to Jesus. Martha is absolutely devastated over her brother’s death, but she STILL ran to Jesus. She saysContinue reading “But even now…”
Hope when you feel like you have none….
Yesterday, we had an unexpected death in our family. I had to tell my mom, who only lost my Daddy a few weeks ago, that her dear brother had passed away. Tears filled my eyes.I fumbled for words.I prayed. And my mind tried to make sense of it all. And this morning, I was remindedContinue reading “Hope when you feel like you have none….”
“I’m not even mad at God about this…..”
This popped up on my FB memories this morning. The picture and the story below are especially precious to me since my dad passed away a few weeks ago…. Daddy has dementia. It’s the cruelest and strangest of diseases. He seems to float between moments of complete clarity, and absolute confusion, and even delusion. WeContinue reading ““I’m not even mad at God about this…..””
God is at work. How are you responding?
It was certainly no accident that Jesus was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah when he stood up to read in his hometown synagogue that day. (Luke 4:16) It was supernatural. Can you imagine hearing the voice of the Promised One reading these words? “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,Because He hasContinue reading “God is at work. How are you responding?”
Has God given us over to a debased mind?
He said his “marriage ended in his mind in 2015” though he was still married when recently taking money for lavish vacations and having his famous affair with Fannie Willis. “Ended in his mind” ? The mom says her preteen girl feels that she is a boy and insists everyone refer to her child asContinue reading “Has God given us over to a debased mind?”
When the ungodly lead.
A while back, I sat with some young adults who talked of some who were leading worship and small groups while living very ungodly lives on the other days. I listened as they said, rarely, have they themselves, been asked what they believe before they had been asked to lead in church. And as IContinue reading “When the ungodly lead.”
I want to be like THIS!
“None of us live on an island.” (Well, some of you may actually live on an island . But you know what I mean.) Our lives impact each other. And I am so thankful for the people, over the years, whose deep love for Jesus has so greatly impacted my life. They have caused meContinue reading “I want to be like THIS!”
My thoughts on the “He Gets Us” ad…
It’s hard to navigate this world. We know evil is coming at us all day long. We know false teachers abound. We know Satan is still after hearts and souls and doing all he can to keep the lost from the One True God. The Bible tells us false teaching will increase in the latterContinue reading “My thoughts on the “He Gets Us” ad…”

The Bible is TRUE!
When you first held the Bible in your hands, did your heart somehow know this book is incredibly different than any other? The Bible is a true account and not a fictitious story and is supernaturally inspired by the Creator of the Universe who used over 40 authors to write the Word over a 1500Continue reading “The Bible is TRUE!”
Be BOLD in a GOOD way!
I suppose we all have our own list of reasons we fail to talk about Jesus and what the Bible says is true when we could. Maybe we don’t feel prepared. Maybe we leave it up to the preachers. Maybe we hate conflict and want everyone to like us. Maybe we are afraid our businessesContinue reading “Be BOLD in a GOOD way!”

Feeling like you’re the only one? Thinking your thing could be the thing too hard for God? Need some encouragement? May God encourage our hearts to hold tight to Him. May He help us help each other. What a Savior! -Kim

Bigger-than-I-know…and PEACE.
Do I want the things God wants, or do I still want my way just a little bit more? Am I really making EVERY effort to be fruitful in my faith? Inspired by God, Peter said to “make every effort” to possess things like faith, virtue, knowledge, self control, perseverance, godliness , kindness, and loveContinue reading “Bigger-than-I-know…and PEACE.”
Trusting God for Tomorrow-Kim’s testimony and teaching videos from this past weekend
I had been struggling to feel like I had what God wanted me to say. I’m a planner by nature and this past weekend’s speaking was coming up fast.

But then, just as it has happened a few timesContinue reading “Trusting God for Tomorrow-Kim’s testimony and teaching videos from this past weekend”
When they call you names…
A while back, a young, full of himself and this world person, called me “”Karen” after I had written something he didn’t like. While he meant it in a derogatory way, I smiled because one of the most godly women I have ever known was named “Karen”. She is with Jesus now, and she wasContinue reading “When they call you names…”
Chasing Contentment
Great gain.We want that.We all want that. Paul said, “Now godliness with contentment is great gain”. (I Tim 6:6) How true.Godliness with contentment. “So, I’ll follow God and be content with where He leads and what He gives.” But, that’s easier said than done for our flesh-filled wandering hearts who are constantly chasing contentment. SoContinue reading “Chasing Contentment”
You can’t be NEUTRAL on your FAITH.
You can’t be neutral in your faith. If it impacts you, you should want it to impact those you care about. John Piper went so far as to say, “If you don’t want people to believe what you believe about God, your views of Him are not functionally significant for you.” The fact is, ifContinue reading “You can’t be NEUTRAL on your FAITH.”
It’s HARD to die to self!
It’s far from easy.It’s stinking hard. It’s a hard and holy thing to die to self.And you aren’t the only one struggling with it. For many, who walk with Jesus, it’s a slow thing as we learn little by little, year after year, to die to things that don’t really matter and hold on toContinue reading “It’s HARD to die to self!”
