Proverbs 29:18, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Vision gives people purpose. A purpose to move forward. A purpose to act. A purpose to unify. Vision: Do you have one? There must be personal vision as well as corporate vision. An individual needs a personal vision of what
“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him,
Someone once said if all the women in the world who were awake at 3 a.m. got together, they could rule the world. Do you think there’s verity in that comment? I do, but then I wonder, what if all those women weren’t Christians? Then I’m reminded of a man
A stomach bug has been creeping around our house. The blessings, in their usual places, don’t comfort me. The yard cardinals, my growing-tall zinnias, my burning bushes, the squirrels on the sidewalk to my office – even the hammock under the tree. 472. Some days, like stomach bug days, the
On the way home last week… while driving country roads, I heard a wonderful sermon by Chuck Swindoll where he was talking about angels and singing and Christmas and living in a fallen world. No, really… all in the same sermon! He mentioned a study that found most of the
By Amy Layne Litzelman – So many people I know and care for are going through very trying times – physically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Everything in our families, marriages, relationships, health, and work that can be stretched, tested, and tried seems to be getting the full force in recent
By Lori Kempton – Have you ever had to remove wallpaper? We just moved into a new home with wallpaper everywhere! I hear that it’s coming back into style. With my luck, once I get it all off, it will be popular again. I have stripped walls for days and
By Olga Hermans – I don’t think I am wrong when I say that most of us desire to receive more from the Lord than we have in the past. Maybe you are thinking that because you have made so many mistakes and you have done so many wrong things
By Lynn Mosher – “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.” (John 15:1 KJV) It’s that time of year when many brave souls have planted seeds in their gardens and are now weeding. Me? I’m probably still thinking about planting! Merely seeds of thought! Jesus planted
By Amy Layne Litzelman – Excerpt from This Beloved Road: A Journey of Revelation and Worship “In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides.]” Ephesians 6:10 (AMP) On a trip to the
I have an old shoe box. Packed away somewhere. Filled with precious things. Love letters from my pre-wedding hubby. Old mementos. Probably a pressed flower or two. And other things I don’t even remember. I haven’t seen its contents in years. Do you have a box like that? Is it
By Peggy Lester – I was blessed to be a part of a mission trip to Nigeria with some short term missionaries in 2008. We would be speaking at a conference where attendance would peak at 13,000 people or more. We flew into Lagos, Nigeria. The next morning we flew
Sipping on my tea and eating the last of my tiramisu birthday treat, I ponder some questions for you… In what realm do you have influence? Where is your territory? Who listens to you? With this in mind, I realize we all touch lives and affect someone! Either for the
By Olga Hermans – Self-control is critical for spiritual growth. As a three-part being, Spirit, soul and body, and a Christian your spirit “man” is the most important part of you; 1Thess.5:23 You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body. If you do not
Do Your Prayers Open Gates? Did you know that when Peter was in prison, being prepared to be killed, (Acts 12) the believers met in a widow’s home and prayed the prison gates open? “And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother
In last week’s post I mentioned finally figuring out why I worry. For the most part I have managed to let go of that vice, and as a result, I spend more time in the now, trading the desire to be in some future or past moment, for this moment. And God blessed my new
I have begun a spiritual journey, one which will require a huge change in my way of thinking, behaving and perceptions. My goal is not to change the world, but change how I see the world. The first step is my ego. Richard Rohr in his insightful book, The Naked
How often have you prayed “give us this day our daily bread…, without really considering what you were asking? Our daily bread is not just physical provision but also spiritual. When we ask, knowing what we ask, God will give us our daily bread – His Word for the day.
As spring slips into summer, I am pondering the activities of this past season. Our family and our business have advanced in ways that are not yet seen to the eye. We have deepened and grown our understanding of why we’re here and we’ve committed to a journey of alignment
By Deborah H. Bateman – Proverbs 31 questions the reader, “Who can find a virtuous woman”? The scripture is talking about finding a wife, but so much of it reminds me of all the hats we as women wear who are wives and mothers. The scripture says her price is
