Years ago when I was disciplining my son, he said, “I know you hate me and think I’m stupid.” In the moment, I thought he was just being dramatic. Then I noticed a pattern over the next couple weeks. Every time my husband or I disciplined him he would repeat that same sentence.
...All things belong to the Lord. He’s clear about that. And inside of that reality, he still gives limitations. Scripture condemns witchcraft for instance, and yet there are times in biblical history where God’s people are commanded to do things that would seem to the modern reader to...
The way this trip came about was completely miraculous.
A prayer that revealed the meaning behind a recurring dream to an invitation in less then 3 months, followed by receiving the funds in 2 days to a trip within a few weeks. Amazing how God works.
We could not deny this trip was the plan of...

Many a brainy theologian has set himself to discern what the scriptures say about soul vs. spirit. Every one of them who has spent years in that pursuit has come to the same conclusion: scripture doesn’t say.
While we’d love to have a clear biblical definition of “soul”...
“How do I pray?” is the wrong question.
In the movie Gravity, there is a touching scene where Sandra Bullock’s character, facing certain death, explains in tears that she never prayed in her life because no one ever taught her how. It’s heart-wrenching, but it's...
The bible says that we need to forgive. In fact, in 2 Corinthians 2:10-11 says, “Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we...
