Our theme for March has been all about faith. We’ve talked about confessions unto faith, confessions of faith, sharing our faith with others, and exercising our faith. Now I’d like to talk about the logical next step: creating a legacy of faith. When you hear the word “legacy” what do you think of? If you’reContinue reading “Building a Legacy of Faith”

Create in Me a Clean Heart
When was the last time you did a self-assessment on your conscience? When was the last time you joined David and prayed: “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139: 23-24)?Continue reading “Create in Me a Clean Heart”
Hiding From God
Peek-a-boo and Hide n’ Go Seek are some of the first games we learn as children. They help us with concepts like object permanence and trust. They make our babies smile and laugh. When we play these games, there’s very little fear involved. Oh sure, my toddler might get a bit anxious if I don’tContinue reading “Hiding From God”
The ABC’s of Scripture Memorization
Scripture memorization is one of the best ways to hide the Word of God in our hearts. In the heat of the moment, when we’re under attack by the enemy, having an arsenal of verses at our beck and call can end the attack before it’s even begun. When I was younger, we called ScriptureContinue reading “The ABC’s of Scripture Memorization”
Waiting on God
No one enjoys waiting. In our fast-paced world, we’re used to instant gratification. Modern technology keeps the world moving at an ever increasing pace. We want what we want now, not later. We don’t want to have to wait. We definitely don’t want to have to wait long, and patience? Well, patience is something weContinue reading “Waiting on God”
Listening In Crisis
I think most people would agree that right now, we are in the midst of a crisis. It’s easy to think of things like world-wide pandemics as crises, but anything that is life-changing or that wears us out and exhausts us can be a crisis for us. We each handle things that come our wayContinue reading “Listening In Crisis”
Life in a Truck
This past week, I joined my husband in his semi-truck while he did his job. We didn’t yet have a “shelter in place” order in Michigan, but we did have restrictions on gatherings and such. As a result, everything I was doing on a daily basis was cancelled. I work from home in property management,Continue reading “Life in a Truck”
Exercising Your Faith
Exercise. Sometimes I feel like it’s a four-letter word. I really hate to exercise. At least I really hate to do exercise routines. Doesn’t matter if it’s at a gym or at home. I hate it. But if I want to have a healthy body, I need exercise. If I want to have a heartContinue reading “Exercising Your Faith”
Our Anchor
An anchor is an important piece of sailing equipment. Your anchor keeps you from drifting with current or wind when you’re out in the open water. In a storm, the anchor keeps the bow pointed into the wind and can prevent damage to the boat from being run aground or pushed against rocks. In calmContinue reading “Our Anchor”
Cultivating Joy
God wants us to enjoy our lives. He wants us to experience joy every day. In fact, Jesus said in John 10:10 (AMPC) that He came that we “might have and enjoy life and have it in abundance, to the full, until it overflows.” If Jesus came so that we might have and enjoy life,Continue reading “Cultivating Joy”
