When you were a little kid, did you and your siblings ever sneak out of bed into the living room late at night to hear what the grown-ups were talking about? Maybe you hung back in the shadows and darted behind an overstuffed chair, then listened intensely. Sometimes there were serious words in low tones.…
This is the last of my Hurricane Florence stories… for now. I had just returned home from my first outing after being cooped up all weekend due to hurricane Florence. As I ambled up the driveway, enjoying the sunshine, I spied a butterfly approaching and smiled. I stopped and watched to see where she would…
I’m sure you’ve heard how we are always supposed to have our Bible Studies in the morning. “It’s the best time of the day to get alone with God!” they said. “You don’t want to start the day on the wrong foot, do you?” they said. Not so fast. Images of perfectly groomed women (at dark…
Life can be challenging at times. No matter how much faith we have, there will be problems, but we must not allow that to discourage us. If we continue to look at our problems, we can become consumed by them. Today and every day, Satan will send challenges and distractions to knock us off course.…

To those who have been in abusive relationships, let me ask you this question: if a woman’s husband decides to set her on fire, do you think it is biblical for her to stay in that marriage?

I went to a Christian singles fellowship tonight (as I’m writing this) where a speaker shared clips from an upcoming media series and gave a talk about international events, Christianity, and prophecy. It was interesting and refreshing, and it sparked several comments and questions. It got me thinking, where is our hope in a world…
