Clean Up Your Obedience
I had sensed the Lord telling me to do something. Not something huge. Not something even worth repeating. A rather small thing in the grand scheme of things. But He had given me a number and made clear He wanted me to stick to that exact number. To do what He had told me to do not once, not three times, but twice. Yes, two times. Two. Why do I emphasize the number two? Because that is the number God gave me.

God Didn’t Interrupt Me
I was busy doing the Lord only knows what as I cant even remember now that I write this when the Lord all of a sudden impressed on my heart that I needed to go immediately to my computer to write a message He had just given me for my Good News Daily devotional writing. I confess I had a bit of hesitation but I knew better as He works on me continually about learning and choosing to hear and obey Him rather than to hold back. I went to the computer to write. Sometime in those few minutes it...
When God Says Go Back
Sometimes we leave behind a person, a relationship, a job, a location, a house, a volunteer job, ministry work, a neighborhood, a school, anything or anyone at all, only to discover through prayer and seeking biblically centered counsel that the Lord wants us to go back. Either because He never wanted us to leave in the first place. Or because He wanted us to leave for a season and then go back. But sometimes when this happens we are afraid, ashamed, prideful, rebellious, embarrassed, feel...

Good News Daily – April 15
Dear friend,
Today is chilly, grey, cloudy, and rainy where I currently am on the road for Jesus. It amazes me I can be so filled with sunshine on a day like this. I have always been so very affected by the weather and world around me. But more and more I realize I need to be filled with and affected by and influenced by and led by the Spirit of God who lives inside His followers. On this grey day, I am honored and humbled to be able to share with you my newest devotional writing in the...

Running from the Pain
I have been running most of my life from something very painful in the past. I have run in all sorts of ways. Sometimes conscious of the running, oftentimes unconscious of it. But running, running, running. Hoping somehow if I run fast enough and far enough away I can undo what happened to me. Never successfully, of course. Running from truth never undoes truth. The most it can do is make us avoid truth. But the truth remains.
Running myself ragged and wearing myself out, yes I have done...
Worst Storm Ever
Please watch this. I believe with all my heart your life will never be the same.
Magnificent Love
Magnificent Love
One day the Lord impressed upon my heart He loves me even when I am not doing anything for Him. Thats right. Even when I am not serving Him. Even when I am not doing my ministry work. Even when Im resting. It was not the first time He spoke this to my heart nor likely the last time.
See, I came to believe long ago that love needs to be earned and worked for both in receiving it in the first place as well as to hold onto it and not lose it. I imagined this was true with...
