It’s easy to say “yes” to Heaven, but are we ready to face the affliction that might come because we follow Christ? Are we ready for that? Will our kids be? Paul and Silas had been beaten and jailed in Philippi because of the gospel. Their joy, as they sat in prison singing hymns, hadContinue reading “Will we hang on when it gets hard?”

Not control. Peace.
The events of late, remind us all of how little any of us can control. Our next heartbeat.No.Our next breath.Certainly not. But the thing is, we were made to rest, and even delight, in something we certainly can’t control—God. We were made to know God. To live is not control,to live is Christ. As A.W.Continue reading “Not control. Peace.”
Speak Truth. Refute the Perpetrators of Lies.
We need to know and stand for biblical truth. We need to find the courage and wisdom to refute the lies of the evil one. The Bible tells us God hates lying lips (Prov 12:22). When a lie is treated as truth there is always destruction. This is why perpetrators of lies must be refutedContinue reading “Speak Truth. Refute the Perpetrators of Lies.”
Why you might be frustrated with YOUR Christianity.
The truth is you may be frustrated with Christianity if you have invited Jesus into YOUR life. You know like, “come be a part”. Perhaps, even like the demons, you recognize Jesus as the Son of God (Matt 16:16), and you reason you could use a little Jesus in YOUR life. You’ll pick and chooseContinue reading “Why you might be frustrated with YOUR Christianity.”
Speak the truth, if you love others.
Let’s be careful to walk in truth, as defined by the Bible. Let’s understand there is no “my truth” and “your truth.” Let’s be bold enough to say this because we trust God more than we trust ourselves. Let’s understand the danger of the popular phrase -“I’m so happy you found your truth”. These wordsContinue reading “Speak the truth, if you love others.”
From my son-in-law…
Powerful, insightful words from my son-in-law, Forest McCollough— The murder of Charlie Kirk hit me in a way nothing else ever has, and I think other people are feeling the same thing. I have heard people say that he is a martyr – and I completely agree with that. A martyr is someone who isContinue reading “From my son-in-law…”
The strange PEACE OF Erika Kirk
What those, who do not fear the Lord, or perhaps have only dabbled in a secular religion, do not understand, is that to fear God, more than anything else, conquers all other fears and gives a peace that makes no earthly sense. It is not that we aren’t intelligent, as those who look on likeContinue reading “The strange PEACE OF Erika Kirk”
Put on your armor and keep standing.
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?”
