Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” -Psalm 46:10
Surprise, surprise! Another song has led me down the path of discovery in the Lord. As before, even though this “lesson” was intended for me, I want to share it with you. Perhaps you will find some application in your life as well. Read more »
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Have you given up on your dreams? Or do you feel your dreams have given up on you?
Do the things you dream about, wish about, and pray about seem further away than ever?
If so, then give those dreams to God. Surrender the things you dream about to our Heavenly Father. Look to Him and listen to Him. He dreams more than enough for you.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

She said something like, “But have you ever thought of the seriousness of the words—about what you’re saying when you sing this song?”

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
“When you get this concept into your mind and heart it will totally revolutionize your life.”
That’s just the way the Lord said it to me. And just what is this revolutionary concept? His all-consuming, unconditional love for me. And each of you can say the same of yourself. Read more »
