There is so much I don’t know about God. So much I don’t understand about this life and the dark world that we live in. At times, I see the heartache of those around me and the general suffering of children in our world and I wonder why can’t things be different? Why...

It sounded like God’s will. I made sure all of my Gideonesque fleeces were met with the dew of heaven (when required) or dry as a new cotton ball when the reverse was needed. My request passed the “if my husband approves then I’ll know it’s God’s will” test. I did...

The stakes are high. The casualties are real. The war is raging all around us everyday. The spiritual climate of our nation is in rapid decay. We wake up each new day to a longer list of victims of this brutal war we are enlisted in. The enemy is out for more than...
