Why?
Why does God give us free will? Doesn't it seem like free will that's messed us the most, that causes all our struggle and grief? Why would a loving God allow us to get so screwed up by giving us the power of making our own choices? Here's the way I explain it to the … Continue reading Why?
The Prayer Garage
I guess it was about 9 months ago, I saw this crazy vision of having a "prayer garage" at our church. What is a prayer garage? Well, when we moved into our new church building (actually a very old building), it has a little brick "house" with a garage. I got this vision of the … Continue reading The Prayer Garage
Abba, Hear Us!
During our Harp and Bowl worship service tonight, the Lord helped me to feel with the shattered heart of those who are crying out for help and can't find their way to Him. The darkness, the cold, the loneliness, the desperation, the panic, the fear that all is lost forever. It was devastating ... until … Continue reading Abba, Hear Us!

That's why I wear this cross around my neck. … Continue reading Why I Wear a Cross
God’s “To Do” List
How many times do we try to take on God's work for Him? There are all these "impossible" things that need doing, and we know only God can do them. He doesn't need our help. He just wants our faithfulness and obedience in what He asks of us each day. Yet how many times do … Continue reading God’s “To Do” List
Receiving His Love and Healing
God is so good. I had a doctor appointment yesterday, for something that continues to look like fibroid tumors. I really felt His presence there with me. I need to have an ultrasound, and I have no medical insurance or money to pay for it. I was talking with someone last night, and before I … Continue reading Receiving His Love and Healing
By His Wounds
Isaiah 53 We were preparing for worship this morning. Finished practicing the music and were talking about a song for tomorrow – "By His Wounds." Our worship leader decided to pull up the video on YouTube. It hit so powerfully that she felt the Spirit leading us to show the video before worship. As I … Continue reading By His Wounds
