Donations for Paralyzed Dog Mr. Simeon
Please consider making a donation for the medical care of paralyzed doggie Mr. Simeon (the big handsome hound!) who is at the vet’s undergoing testing for some pretty serious symptoms! Donations can be made right on this website or you can contact me at 843-338-2219 or love@walkbyfaithministry.com to make a donation directly to the vet’s office by phone or by check by mail. Thanks so much!

Loud & Proud
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Loud and proud. The words burst out of my mouth one day. I was confessing to a friend the struggle I face daily. I am certain I am not alone in this. My flesh, my humanness, my sin nature, is LOUD and PROUD. My flesh pridefully believes I should get my way and do what I want and make decision...
Let Me Tell You Why I’m Angry!
“Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.” Ecc. 7:9 ESV
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;” James 1:10 ESV
“But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.” Col. 3:8
Let me tell you why I’m angry, okay? I have every reason to be angry! My anger is justified! Anyone in my position would be angry! I deserve to be! If you kn...

Are You Doing THIS?
“Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.” Deut. 10:20
“As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” 2 Tim. 4:5
“And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”” Col. 4:17
When the Lord speaks in His Word about fulfilling one’s ministry, He is not just speaking of people like me who are devoted full-time...
Where Are You Headed Next in Life?
“Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.”
One day many years ago I stood on a large map and figured my feet would land wherever I was supposed to go next in life. It didn’t need to be a new geographical location. It just needed to be somewhere other than where I was. Totally messed up. Broken. Lost. No sense of direction. Or purpose. No sense of where I was headed. I c...
When God Gives You a Fixer Upper
““…You shall not have one allotment only, but the hill country shall be yours, for though it is a forest, you shall clear it and possess it to its farthest borders. For you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”” Josh. 17:17-18
Whew. Sigh. You’ve finally arrived after what seems like an incredibly long journey at the destination where you believe God wants you. Perhaps a new relationship. New job. New location. New opportunity. New ho...

why can’t we worship like this?
“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” John 4:23 ESV
I woke up excited. Elated. Joyful. Ebullient. Exuberant. Wow. Uncontainable love and passion. Oh, what a dream I had! No microphone. No rehearsal. No set plan. No agenda. No preacher in a suit. No choir with the songs memorized. No disco lights. No high tech speakers. Nobody at the front of the room. Not all the co...
Need a Life Makeover?
Need a LIFE Makeover?
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” Phil. 1:6
“You’ve changed so much!” people started telling me. I knew it was true. I could see the difference in myself. I could feel the difference. In a sense I felt like I was looking in the mirror and seeing a brand new person. A different person, really. Sure, lots of gray hair had come in. Big circles had formed permanently under my ey...

Your River of Challenge
“And when the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall stand in one heap.” Joshua 3:13 ESV
Some of us when we see a river of challenges separating us and where we are now in our lives from where God wants to take us next in His will for our lives see the river and make it abundantly clear we have no intent...
Want God’s Promises?
“…now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you…There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, whi...
