Luke 13: 6-9: “Then he told this parable: A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I have been coming to look forContinue reading “Where Is the Fruit?”

God’s Love
It’s the end of February and time to wrap up my monthly theme of love. So far, we’ve looked at loving our husbands, loving ourselves, and loving others, but now it’s time to look at the source of all this ability to love: God Himself. What we know of love, we learn from God. It’sContinue reading “God’s Love”
God’s Power Is In You
How often are you asking God to do something for you? How often are you asking for more faith? How often are you asking for God to move? What if I told you that God’s part to the equation of your life has already been done? Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and FatherContinue reading “God’s Power Is In You”
Getting Away With God
This past weekend was our annual Midwinter Getaway for the women at my church. It’s a two day event at a local retreat center just for women. We meet up Friday night, share dinner, have a message and then break for either a fun movie fellowship time as a group or fellowship with your roommates.Continue reading “Getting Away With God”
Investing in Our Kids
We invest in a lot of things throughout our lives. We invest our time. We invest our money. We invest our talents. We invest in education, in careers and occupations, and in financial avenues for building wealth. But do we take the time to invest in the lives of others? Do we take the timeContinue reading “Investing in Our Kids”
Distractions: How to Keep Your Focus Where It Should Be

When I go to pray, I find myself doing the same thing, flitting from one topic to another with no realContinue reading “Distractions: How to Keep Your Focus Where It Should Be”
Hearing God
God designed us for intimacy. What does that mean? What is intimacy? Intimacy is a close connection. It requires closeness, understanding, and deep knowledge of another person. You can’t have intimacy without spending time together. You can’t have intimacy without having conversation and sharing thoughts, ideas, feelings, etc. with each other. Intimacy means that youContinue reading “Hearing God”
Bible Courage
It’s been said that there are 366 “fear not”s in the Bible. That’s one for every day of the year, including leap year. Of course, most people just pass this quote along. I have to admit that I have yet to take the time to count the number of times the Bible tells me notContinue reading “Bible Courage”
Loving Others
As Kingdom citizens, we have two commandments to follow: 1) Love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our mind, and with all our strength and 2) Love our neighbor as ourselves. The Bible says that all the law and all the prophets rest on these two commandments. They are really relatedContinue reading “Loving Others”
Jesus’ Ministry of Healing
I love to study healing in the Bible. I love how many people Jesus healed. A quick Google search gave me 12 verses with some variation of the phrase “Jesus healed them all.” Nowhere in the Bible is a person turned away from healing. Nowhere does someone meet Jesus and fail to be healed! That’sContinue reading “Jesus’ Ministry of Healing”
