Please Help Us Rescue Ukrainian Refugees

I am sure you are all following the situation in the Ukraine right now. Croatia’s border is less than 200 miles from the Ukrainian border, so we are in a wonderful position to help rescue those fleeing their homes. My sister – who is also our pastor’s wife – wrote a letter to their supporters,...

Brick Master Challenge Cards: Build Through History Set 1 – FREE PRINTABLE

One of my favorite subjects growing up was history. I remember so clearly getting lost in the stories of the past as my dad eloquently told story after story. Especially his stories about the Middle Ages – my favorite era. I remember grabbing the encyclopedias and looking at pictures and reading their descriptions – I...

Learning to Love the Body of Christ with God’s Love

I’ll be honest, there are brothers in sister in Christ that I love, but I don’t like. Do you get what I mean?There are people whom we love Do you get what I mean? There are people whom we love. They are family members, cousins, aunts, uncles….but we don’t like them. We wouldn’t ever voluntarily...

Ephesians 6 – The Armor of God

Why do we need to engage in spiritual warfare when Jesus already won the victory? It would almost seem that the idea of spiritual warfare diminishes Christ’s victory on the cross… until we understand that Satan still thinks that he can come out on top. He has deluded himself into thinking that he will eventually [...]

Ephesians 6 – Go to Battle

We are in a war for our lives. It is very easy to talk about spiritual warfare as if it is something abstract or something happening “out there”, but not to us. But make no mistake, Satan has an agenda, and that agenda includes you. It includes your home, your family, your children; and he [...]

Ephesians 5 & 6 – What Is Biblical Submission

Submission. Now, there’s a word that incites immediate debate. I think it is normal that unbelievers find the idea of submission distasteful, because it is a work of the Holy Spirit in our lives that makes biblical submission possible. But what I find unfortunate is that within the church we find an eagerness to reject [...]

Two Reasons Why I Will Not See the Movie Redeeming Love

Not long after the book Redeeming Love, by Francine Rivers was published, a friend loaned me a copy to read. She raved about the book, telling me it was one of the best books she’d ever read and an excellent retelling of the story of Hosea. I’ll be honest, that was 23 years ago, and [...]

Ephesians 5 – Wives, Submit to Your Own Husbands

There are few topics in the Bible debated as much as the topic of submission. The idea that wives should submit to their husband is incredibly controversial and is eagerly fought against in this feminist culture. While I understand the basis for some of the argument, I believe that much of it is based in [...]

Ephesians 5 – 5 Ways to Walk Victoriously in Christ

Why does Paul speak out so harshly against sin? Doesn’t this just perpetuate the idea that Christianity is just a list of dos and don’ts, doom and gloom, and rigid, religious superiority? If you look at the big picture of the book of Ephesians you first see that Paul lays the foundation by reminding us [...]

Ephesians 5 – How to Avoid God’s Wrath

It is obvious from Ephesians 4 that God considers Christian behavior very important. He didn’t save us so we could continue living by our worldly behavior. He didn’t save us so we could continue living in bondage to our old life. When we became saved, we received a new identity, and God wants us our [...]
