Praying for More

You can learn a lot from the believers in Acts 4. In verses 8-12 Peter testifies for Christ, saying there is no other name by which we can be saved. In verses 19 and 20 John and Peter confess that they just can’t help but tell people about Jesus. (Wouldn’t you just love to overflow

{Review} Passport2Purity Getaway

Over the past month I have had the opportunity of reviewing FamilyLife’s Passport 2Purity Getaway Kit. This isn’t a new thing, but the third addition of their product. Before I share my review, here’s a bit more about the getaway kit from FamilyLife: About the Getaway Kit Your child begins the journey into adolescence in

Samson’s Slow Fade (and us)

Our Bible study yesterday was over Samson, and Beth Moore really brought it a live in a way I had never seen it before. But what I really got out of it, was a lesson on how slowly your passion for God can fade. Samson’s Slow Fade Samson was born into a Nazarite vow. He

Let’s Get Candid

I’ve been working hard behind the scenes for months on my new ministry for Christian women, CandidlyChristian.com. My goal was to create a safe place where women could be honest about their faith, failures, and forgiveness. Let’s face it, life isn’t always neat and tidy, being a Christian doesn’t change that.

Old Fashioned Movie Review

Ever since a friend from church told me about “Old Fashioned” the new movie that came out in theaters in February, I have been dying to see it. I practically had the trailer memorized having watched it so many times, and last night, I finally got to watch it! Below, you’ll find Paul and I’s

In Case of Emergency…

Years ago, I came across a unique set of “Emergency Numbers.” Instead of listing the police and fire station, they referenced Scriptures. I loved it so much, I wrote them all in the front of one of my Bibles. Why am I telling you this? We wrapped up our study through Hebrews 11 last week,

Faith Promises

I was up in the middle of the night last night with my elderly dog. And while I was waiting for him to finish his business outside, I decided to scroll through Facebook on my phone (horrible idea, I know). It just so happens that I came across two different posts that related to today’s

Faithfully Persecuted

For week seven of our study through Hebrews 11, we are looking at prophets and martyrs. While there were several Old Testament examples listed in verse 32, we don’t have to look back at all to see people being martyred for their faith. There is a mass martyrdom going on in Syria, and countless others
