“He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.” Malachi 3:3 I have heard this story before, but recently someone forwarded it to me. She had no idea that the refiner’s fire seems to be my life right now. Maybe it is yours, as well. Read this story and remember, Only the most precious …

Thankful Thursday
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name. Psalm 100:4 I have not written a “Thankful Thursday” in a while, so I thought today I would. I am thankful for rainy Sunday afternoons. (I am actually writing this on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone …
Healing Your Mind
I was listening to Joyce Meyers the other day. She was speaking about changing your thinking, and changing your negative words. She said she grew up in a very negative home. She thought that being negative was normal. As God began dealing with her on the power of her words, she knew she had to …
The Pains Of Expectancy
All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it’s not only around us; it’s within us.

Trial or Temptation?
Don’t let anyone under pressure to give into evil say, “God is trying to trip me up.” God is impervious to evil, and puts evil in no one’s way. The temptation to give into evil comes from us and only us. We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare up of our …
But God…
You’re not the only ones plunged in these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ – eternal and glorious plans they are! …
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
I am going to be with my family today! I am going to worship God and remember why I have that Freedom. I am going to pray for the families who do not have their loved ones with them as I do, because they are making the sacrifices to provide us with the freedoms we …
Community: Let’s Have Coffee
I love Starbucks! It is my all time favorite place to go. If I need a break, or need a place to just sit and talk with a friend it is my first choice of meeting place. Why? Because Starbucks does not just sell coffee, they sell a feeling, a feeling of community. The company …
