    Last week I wrote about my salvation experience and how long I was haunted by fear and doubt. If you missed it, you'll find it here: Haunted Not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:25 Goin' church shopping - we all dread it. When we move, it's easy to say, "I'll start visiting churches next… Read More

    Am I Saved? That's a question that haunted me for years. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 I wasn't raised in a typical church. My parents were in the military and we spent many years overseas. Worship services were divided into two groups: Catholic and everyone else. We were "everyone else." Dad didn't… Read More

But that’s exactly what happened. Two people in Scripture stood in the presence of Satan: Eve, in the Garden of Eden, and Jesus, after forty days in the desert. On the surface, these are two radically different events but, when we look closer, we can… Read More

  • 5 Truths: Pray for Today’s Ninevah

      But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5:44 Not easy is it? Some of us have been hurt so deeply that it's hard to imagine ever being able to forgive them, let alone love them. A few of us have lost a loved one who was far from home, fighting an enemy, to protect our country. Pray for them? Seems almost impossible. Enter Jonah. God uses… Read More
