By Chris Wave – Gen 28 (NECWT) New English ChrisWave translation. Lance Armstrong wrote a book about his life called, It’s Not About the Bike…I would write my story using Genesis 28, It’s not about the dream! I love the story of Jacob, the trickster, manipulator, liar, conspirator, and I
by Mary Jo Nutting – With summer rapidly approaching, I look forward to being outdoors in God’s great creation. As a child, I had the privilege of spending many summer days and nights at my grandparents’ cottage on a lake in southern Minnesota. I have fond memories of swimming, boating,
By Prudence Lay, Feature Editor – Do you ever wonder where your fears come from? The fears I am referring to are what I would term “irrational” fears of modern day common place things. I believe they are sent by the enemy of our souls to keep us in bondage.
By Katherine Swarts – It’s estimated that 47 million adults in the United States–and as many as 40 percent of children–suffer from sleep deprivation. Overcrowded schedules that get people up early and keep them up late are usually blamed, but that’s only part of the story. It’s quite possible to

New Family at Peaceful Grace! What an exciting week at Peaceful Grace Community Church! A new family, the Hodges, recently moved to Brooksville and visited our church last Sunday. They are so neat! Before the service, I volunteered to give them and their two daughters a friendly tour. I love
By Olga Hermans – To succeed at being ourselves, we must be confident. When we have confidence in ourselves, we might miss the mark. How does that work? Jesus said “…apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing” John 15:5. We all struggle with
By Janelle Alberts – A kindly, Christian neighbor of mine told me recently that drinking wine was forbidden by Jesus. “Forbidden?” I asked. Had she gotten that quite right? “Forbidden,” she said. “Well forbidden except for special occasions. That’s okay.” But in Jesus’ day, people drank wine for supper. Daily.
By CarolMarie Smith – Let me share a secret with you… A simple, grateful heart is a strategy for the season into which we are moving. It will release joy in the midst of a problem; it will keep our hearts free from disappointment and help us not be critical.
By Byron Wicker- Dear People Who Keep Company with God, Psalms 45:3-4 tells us that the Lord Jesus is riding forth for the cause of truth, humility and righteousness. These three are interconnected and in a sense they are one, but they are different manifestations of the virtues of Christ.
By Janelle Alberts – Have you heard the one about the man with leprosy? Or two blind men who wouldn’t take no for an answer? Jesus healed them. But don’t tell anybody. That’s Jesus’ punch line. He said don’t tell anybody. After hundreds of pages, the reader of the Bible
By Nancie Carmichael – Is it time for you to take a Selah? For all of us there is season, and a time to step back to get some prospective on our lives and where we are, and maybe more importantly, where we are going. Some of my favorite times
By Nancie Carmichael – The word “Selah” intrigues me. When I was a child, my father would read a Psalm to my brother and sister and me from the King James Bible before we left for school in the morning: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help

By Nancie Carmichael – It was time to plant again, but first I had a job to do, one I’d put off too long. So yesterday I spent the whole day in the yard, raking out last year’s pine needles and dead aspen leaves. Then I tackled the dead petunias
By Dave and Mary Jo Nutting – People sometimes ask, “Why do you do what you do? Why travel around the country and the world talking about Evolution and Creation? Why don’t you just preach the Gospel?” Well, the reason we do it is because we believe God has called
By Janelle Alberts – My first job out of college was at a writing clinic where I didn’t write at all – I checked people in at the door. I kept the appointment book. My desk was bolted to the floor in a hallway. I hated it. But when asked,
By Byron Wicker – Dear People Who Keep Company With God: My Bible titles Psalm 45 “The Glories of the Messiah and His Bride.” That is a powerful title and speaks volumes about where we are headed. The darkness Isaiah saw is coming upon the earth and God is preparing
By Susan Schaad – An unplanned trip to the mountains with friends An unfinished book conveys a treasure An unlikely adventure inspite of weather A heartfelt cry to keep pressing on A friend to encourage (and help install snow chains!) A trek through snow warmed by expectation Attentions are set
By Janelle Alberts – Over the years, I’ve heard dozens of how-to-be-godly messages for women and they regularly circle around the same theme: don’t mouth off to men. Especially husbands. Right. Good.
