Get Up and Walk!

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” Rom. 8:1

Ever watched a baby learning to walk? First he learns to crawl. Then he learns to walk. He needs help along the way. He does plenty of falling, doesn’t he? And every time he falls, he stays down on the ground and spends hours and days and sometimes months and even years scolding and hating himself for falling, analyzing his falls, replaying t...

When People Break Your Heart

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1

“Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah” Psalm 62:8

““For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Mt. 6:14-15

I’m sensitive. I’ve always been sensitive. I haven’t become less sensitive...

God’s Wrath, God’s Mercy

“For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thess. 1:9-10

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ...

Get Off Your High Horse!

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” Phil. 2:5-8

“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” James 4:10

“These six things the Lord ha...

What Are You Seeking…?

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Mt. 6:33

“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.” Col. 3:1-4

” “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth...

I Don’t Want to Do This!

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1

“Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.” Psalm 143:10

When the Lord gave me a work project, I was excited at first. Well, sort of. I was excited about the prospect of the end result. I was moderately okay with the project itself. But once I got started,...

ALWAYS Be Ready

Update & Prayer Request from Lara

I have now been in the Florida Panhandle for several weeks, settled in immediately, love it here, but confess I miss New York City terribly as far as the countless ministry opportunities I had there and the heart the Lord has given me for the people there.

It’s the off-season where I am, so it’s very slow and the ministry opportunities are very few and far between. A wonderful opportunity to get rest which the Lord has made abundantly clear I need lots of – and a wonderful opportunity to buck...

It’s Not About MORE!

““For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hi...
