Bible I’ve been there. You’ve been there. It is a desperate place, and it’s here that we fall instinctively to our knees. There is no other place to go. There is no other option–yet it’s the first option and most obvious one. From the depths of my soul, I call out and, HE.HEARS. HE.KNOWS. In… Continue reading Desperate Prayer
Simple Prayer
Christianity Prayer is simple, really. We are the ones who over-complicate it. We assume that we have to get it just right, or that God is more concerned about our vocabulary than He is our heart. Prayer can be words spoken–but they might just be thoughts that are formed and directed at God. My prayer life was changed… Continue reading Simple Prayer
First Friday Prayers: Prayers for Forgiveness
“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:13 NIV It’s easy to forget at times that our offenses against the God of the universe are great. Any sin is too much for our Heavenly Father to associate with. Without His… Continue reading First Friday Prayers: Prayers for Forgiveness
First Friday Prayers: Psalm 107:2
Yesterday was National Big Forehead Day. God bless you if you fall into this category, but I don’t feel His call to pray in this direction. However, tomorrow is Blogger Day.

The Lamb on Turning Mountains into Molehills

I came across “Mary Had a Little Lamb” by Sarah Josepha Hale. The first verse says: Mary had… Continue reading The Lamb on Turning Mountains into Molehills

Have you ever noticed how commercials impact our lives? If I said, “my bologna has a first name,” most people… Continue reading A Commercial Faith
Tolerance on Turning Mountains into Molehills
I grow weary of all the bickering in our world, especially among those who follow Christ. We so easily buy into Satan’s lies that if others’ opinions differ from ours, then we must remove them from our lives. What happened to our tolerance for others? And what does the Word of God teach us about… Continue reading Tolerance on Turning Mountains into Molehills

Is there someone that seems to be the luckiest person in the world? A few… Continue reading Laughter and Joy
The Study of Jeremiah (ירמיהו)
Today, we continue our journey through the Bible with today’s study of Jeremiah. May God show us what He wants us to learn? “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer.” Psalm 19:14 As we study the Bible alone or in… Continue reading The Study of Jeremiah (ירמיהו)
Lesson on Beautiful Feet
“14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are… Continue reading Lesson on Beautiful Feet
