My daughter, Abi, wrote this a few years back. This truth is a powerful, keep-you-going reminder— I felt alone. Sad, disheartened, fighting back tears-very much like an alien and stranger though surrounded by others my age as I sat in my Contemporary Moral Issues Philosophy class, at the University of Tennessee, listening to my classmatesContinue reading “Put on your armor and keep standing.”

It is time
The tide has shifted and what the Bible has told us would happen, has happened, and is happening, and here in this country as well. Wrong is called “right” and what’s right is called “wrong”, and people are celebrating the death of someone who sought to talk about biblical truth. Things are happening just asContinue reading “It is time”
Keep Telling The Truth!
God hates lies (Prov 12:22). The devil is the father of all lies (John 8:44). He often uses lies in order to fulfill his goal to rob, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). I’ve seen this play out this year as lies have impacted our family, our church, and our nation. I understand more than everContinue reading “Keep Telling The Truth!”
Find Your Voice
Vice President Vance said that after talking with Erika Kirk about the way Charlie treated her, he felt convicted to be a better husband. Vance, his wife, his kids, and likely our country will be better off if he follows through. This is truth, and truth that comes from forsaking our flesh-filled, emotional ways (sin)Continue reading “Find Your Voice”
Truth has not died! Nor will it!
Charlie Kirk was martyred for speaking biblical truth. The gunmen hoped to kill the truth, but this truth is alive and active- sharper than any two-edged sword. (Heb 4:12). And we, who know this, must not be afraid to continue to wield biblical truth that sets captives free even in the darkest moments. The truthContinue reading “Truth has not died! Nor will it!”
Truth more important than ever!
“These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.” (1 John 2:26) There are great efforts, by spiritual forces in high places, to deceive us and those we love (Eph 6:12). Not only that, the Bible tells they want to kill and destroy us (John 10:10). We have seen thisContinue reading “Truth more important than ever!”
Here I Am
Like many of you, our family is incredibly upset over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. My kids are especially upset. Charlie was of their generation, but my 80 year old mom also listened to his podcasts all the time. Charlie was a bright light. He loved Jesus and he loved people. He knew the BibleContinue reading “Here I Am”
When will we STOP toying with EVIL?
When will we stop toying with evil and calling wrong things right? Can we not see as a country, as individuals, that we are headed toward chaos and destruction if we do not? When good men do nothing nations collapse. Girls are brutally slaughtered on trains.Godly young men are killed for their words.Babies are murderedContinue reading “When will we STOP toying with EVIL?”
Unfathomable Grace
I deserve Hell, and so do you. That is not popular to say. Most people will probably stop reading with that sentence and scroll on past—non-Christians and Christians alike. We’d all rather hear how much God loves us. And He does. He truly does. But we need to also, and I believe often, allow ourselvesContinue reading “Unfathomable Grace”
There is no neutral with Jesus.
The haters of the Lord pretend submission to Him. (Psalm 81:15) And I can pretend submission to God while, in reality, I run my own life, rule my own way, do what feels “right” and all the while I can think, it’s “no big deal”. Today, so many false teachers stand on stages, cherry-picking Scripture,Continue reading “There is no neutral with Jesus.”
Prone to Worry?
I come from a long line of people who have an amazing ability to worry. We can take the smallest issue and imagine it into a hurricane of trouble in about five minutes. It’s my flesh default. But God. He clearly says,”Do not fret”(Psalm 37:1) And my mind wonders, “but how do I not?” IContinue reading “Prone to Worry?”
Hard truth to hold on to…
These words are both inspiring and incredibly challenging. Honestly, they are flat-out hard. Nebuchadnezzar has gone from praising the God of Daniel to building a giant golden image and demanding everyone fall to the ground and worship it when they hear the music he orders played. (Dan 3) This is a problem for the captiveContinue reading “Hard truth to hold on to…”
Do you worship a false god?
Daniel supernaturally described Nebuchadnezzar‘s dream down to the toes of the image Nebuchadnezzar had seen, and then Daniel interprets all that the dream meant. He tells Nebuchadnezzar that the dream and its meaning had been revealed to him by God. (Daniel 2:27-49) Nebuchadnezzar is amazed. He falls prostrate before his slave, Daniel, and says, “TrulyContinue reading “Do you worship a false god?”
Eyes on the Better Object
The great, preacher teacher, Oswald Chambers, said, “If I have a lingering thought of defending myself I haven’t truly repented of the sin.” Indeed, we prevent our own freedom when we try to excuse or explain away that which God calls sin. It’s human nature to want to do so. But we are missing freedomContinue reading “Eyes on the Better Object”
We can’t call wrong things right because we love our kids.
I woke up early.Sad.And mad. Sad and mad that, once again, I’ve had a front row seat to watch parents encourage their children to go ahead and do an unholy thing because they, “deserve to be happy”. This is nothing new. For years, I watched as parents of my kids’ friends did this. They compromisedContinue reading “We can’t call wrong things right because we love our kids.”
48 years ago today.
August 16, 1977, I was sitting in a car with my mom when the news came over the radio—Elvis Presley had died. Forty-eight years ago today and I still remember watching my mom being visibly upset. I was only eight but quickly became obsessed with this famous person who had died so tragically, so young.Continue reading “48 years ago today.”
Let’s love enough to confront sin.
“Let’s love people enough to help them leave their own pity parties so they can spend their lives drawing attention to God rather than themselves.” “The compassionate side of you will be tempted to comfort everyone who weeps, but that isn’t always the most loving thing to do for them.” (Chan) Sometimes, we absolutely knowContinue reading “Let’s love enough to confront sin.”
When I’m tired. When I’m hurting.
When I’m tired …When I’m hurting… I desperately need to hear God’s Words above the emotions swimming in my mind. Life is difficult.People are difficult. Sometimes, it would be so much easier to live my life for Jesus if it were not for other people–the ones who hurt you and never apologize, the ones whoContinue reading “When I’m tired. When I’m hurting.”
Too much for you?
Someone dear to me has been asked to do something that will impact many people. He doesn’t take this task lightly and is really not sure why he was chosen for such a big responsibility. And with that I smile —even more convinced that he is exactly who should have been chosen. For just likeContinue reading “Too much for you?”
You can run back
Desperate. They find the tomb empty.. Suddenly angels appear and remind the women of the words Jesus had said about his death and resurrection. The women run to tell the eleven, but the disciples didn’t believe them. But Peter. Peter rose and ran to the tomb. (Luke 24) Why Peter? We know from other partsContinue reading “You can run back”
