His Work
The Man Called Jesus
Several years ago, Victoria and I sang a duet by Selah called “There is a Fountain”. There is a few lines in this old hymn that gets me every time. The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in His day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. The…
Natalie’s Cakes and More
I love the verses in Romans 5 that reminds us of our source of strength during sufferings and what sufferings produce …..because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,…

How does God answer prayers?

James 5:16 We often look for immediate deliverance or problems resolved; but, I experienced a day of wonderful results through God reminding me of His love, grace, and compassion. He spoke through people and circumstances. I…
Your story matters
Your story matters. Psalm 25:14 “Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him. With them alone he shares the secrets of his promises.” Dannah Gresh shared that we often fear man when we are disobedient to God’s plan for us. In that disobedience, we fear man and what they would think of us…
