My friend, Teresa, called me “Easter Girl”. I agree. In my life, Easter is so special. It has nothing to do with me, who I am, or what I have done for apart from God, I can do nothing. It is because of who Jesus is and what He has done. And there is nothing…

If today you are struggling to overcome trouble, temptation, (forgiving a) trespass (by others), or trial, a terminal disease, do you know that Easter gives you a life-changing hope?

Mind Set on Things Above
Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. When I put my oven setting at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, it doesn’t always accurately go to and remain at 350 degrees. There is a thermostat that detects when the temperature is going above or below the temperature setting and then the oven adjusts its heat emission to reach the temperature setting…
Jimmy Needham: We Need Him— Jesus Christ
Becca Music’s Jimmy Needham Concert: Guy, Guitar, and Gospel at Christ’s Commission Fellowship last night was gut-challenging, grace-filled, and God-glorifying. The youthful-looking (“I look sixteen”) doting father of two and loyal husband of one unabashedly and unapologetically shares his faith through entertaining self-written music. The lyrics are biblically-based and therefore powerful. His left-handed guitar…

Every season to me has its own beauty but spring is my favorite with flowers blooming, new life sprouting. It’s not a surprise, butterflies do love flowers. And butterflies…
Know Pain, Know Gain
My friend, Gina, shared with our small group from Nancy Leigh DeMoss’s book, LIES WOMEN BELIEVE, Lie Number 37: “I shouldn’t have to suffer.” Everyone suffers , believer or not. But when we have put our faith in Jesus Christ, He journeys with us through our suffering. It does not mean that the believer’s life is…
