Movie Review ~ Standing Firm

"Furious with God after his wife's death, David is avoiding church, struggling to pay the bills and avoid foreclosure, and working himself into an early grave. Meanwhile his son, Steven, watches, prays—and worries. Can anyone help his dad answer the question "Why?"—before grief destroys what's left of their family?" I have to confess that when [...]

Are You Living Like An Orphan? ~ Guest Blogger Sue Cramer

This year I've had the great pleasure of getting to know and become friends with Sue Cramer. She is the lovely lady behind a wonderful women's ministry known as Praise and Coffee. I'm honored to have Sue as my guest blogger today! Read on as Sue shares her thoughts about what it means to live knowing [...]

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What [...]

Familiar Spirits

   Like most people, I'm sure you've probably heard the term "familiar spirit" at some point in your life. Perhaps it was during a sermon at church or while reading a spooky book. Maybe it was referenced in a television program or a documentary that had something to do with witches or Halloween. Recently a [...]

Jesus = Everything

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in [...]

Pursue Love

Yesterday I had the great privilege of celebrating the marriage of my nephew. It was a sweet, simple ceremony, filled with symbolism of the love shared between a man and a woman bonded together in lifelong covenant. As in many weddings (including my own) the "love chapter" of 1 Corinthians was read out loud. When [...]

Do You Know His Voice?

Last night I had the tremendous pleasure of speaking to a group of 71 women at the Plainwell Praise and Coffee Night. My good friend, Sue Cramer, (who created these women's events as a means of bringing together women from different denominations to enjoy fellowship and worship together) invited me to come and share my [...]

Words Do Matter

One thing that has always bothered me is the amount of mis-information within Christian circles about Wicca and witchcraft. While some people may consider it to be quibbling I want to point out that words do truly matter, especially when you want to share Jesus Christ with someone who is already most likely hostile to [...]

Unidentified

So the other day some friends of mine suggested I watch a Christian movie which tackles the subject of UFO's and alien abduction. They had a lot of good things to say about it and since I'm always interested to see how a Christian movie will treat occult topics I thought I'd give it a [...]

Heads in the Sand

In the last few days I have witnessed a sad but all too common truth that many Christians have their heads in the sand when dealing with people who are involved in the occult. Truly, this kind of response breaks my heart. By responding in this way, many Christians are effectively abandoning people and reinforcing [...]
