So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God. For our sake God made the one who knew no sin to be sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:20-21). Embracing the Call to Reconciliation and Righteousness As…
Understanding God’s Higher Ways Have you ever looked at life and wondered why things happen the way they do? Sometimes, it’s hard to make sense of the chaos, pain, or unexpected turns of events. The Bible offers a comforting perspective on this and reminds us that God’s ways are not like ours. In Isaiah 55:8-9, God says, “For my thoughts…
Reclaiming what the enemy tried to steal! I’ve been having dreams that predominantly include women. Although I am not an interpreter of dreams my thoughts on this special day turn to Eve the “mother of all living”. The Bible tells us that Eve was created with Adam in the image of God. She was a woman of many firsts. The…
“…God willing, we will move forward to further understanding.” (Hebrews 6:3 NIV) The contemporary church suffers from a serious identity crisis.

For God has re-created you all over again in his perfect righteousness, and you now belong to him in the realm of true holiness.” Ephesians 4:24 (TPT) In a world where people have become confused about their identity or in…
“Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.” Psalm 31:23 We seldom hear the term “saint” used anymore when talking about the people of God. I was speaking to a friend a month ago and mentioned this thought to her. I recall saying to my friend, “I…
“But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets,…” (Daniel 2:28, 47) As Christians, we must align ourselves with the Word of God — with what the Lord is saying in this time. Doing so will change your life. I do understand that some may be skeptical or lack understanding of how God speaks and that He still speaks…
Last evening I watched a movie “Steps of Faith” about a young woman named Faith who was mocked by her family for following a directive from God to work on a hippotherapy (the use of horseback riding as a therapeutic or rehabilitative treatment) farm for children.
