Anyone who has ever had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with someone knows that the enemy often presents the most challenging of circumstances to detract from the truth of salvation.
Today I had a young lady that I’ve recently met, over to the house, for the express purpose of sharing the hope we have in [...]

There is a very large corner of my life I have never written about here. Perhaps my reluctance has been due to the breadth of the endeavor–the explanation of which is too lengthy and significant for my 5-minute-every-couple of-days-blogging-style. It could also be that all ventures require faith, risk, and unknowns…and sometimes it feels safer [...]

…my soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is; so I say, “My endurance has perished; so has my hope from the Lord.”
Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me.
But this I call to mind, and therefore [...]

Church planting requires all hands on deck, including little ones in training.
What a privilege it is to serve with those that love the Lord, desire the Word, and long to be His hands and feet. Doug Wilson has said, “You measure success by faithfulness to God–does the next generation want to do it [...]

The day is winding down now. We made it through school, though I slept for part of the day fighting a fever while Troy filled in for me. In the midst of the chaos of Monday tasks and household malaise, Judah surreptitiously found his way unnoticed downstairs to wreak havoc. Eighteen months [...]

“What must I have for life to be meaningful or happy?” Elyse Fitzpatrick poses this question in the first chapter of her book, Idols of the Heart: Learning to Long for God Alone. The ladies group from church met last night to discuss Chapter 1.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a season of discouragement…heaviness of heart, perhaps, or disillusionment. To summon the right words to describe it even feels too great a task. No one seems to know, but the Lord…and that’s okay. Yet, when you stumble upon words that seem to have flowed from your own [...]

Happy 3rd day of the new year everyone. Perhaps you’ve already spent time reflecting on 2007, while looking ahead to 2008.

Contrary to the images of warmth, family, and laughter one might see on television ads around this time of year, the holidays are often a time of sadness for some people. I have, for most of my life, been one of those people. The pandemonium of finding the “perfect” gift, of expressing how [...]

Grieving. I have far less experience than some with the process. For a woman of many words, my lips fall silent here in the midst of sympathy, sadness, and grief. Our dear friends have lost someone very special this week. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. I can’t [...]
