What is the current temperature in your home? I don’t mean where your thermostat is set, but what people sense when they walk in your front door. Do they feel love and warmth, or do they feel cold and on edge? I want to stress that this post isn’t just for wives and mothers, this […]
Do We Need to Take Back What the Enemy Has Stolen?
For as long as I can remember, I’ve heard church leaders talk about how and why the church needs to take back what the enemy has stolen from us. Whether it be our health or the arts (music, dance, theater, films). Very recently an acclaimed christian author and leader talked about how the church should take […]
Can a Woman Biblically Teach or Preach in the Church?

Not All Who Claim To Be Christian Go To Heaven
I wrote this post in March of 2017, and it quickly became one of my most popular posts. If you scroll down and read the comments, you’ll see two extremes: those who love the post and those who really had a difficult time getting past the original title: “All Christians Don’t Go to Heaven”. In […]
One Fabulous Tip to Organize Your Prayer List
My heart sank as I read the exciting email. A dear friend was writing me to thank me for my prayers. God had answered and the situation was resolved. While I was elated for her that God had come through, as I knew He would, I felt guilty that I hadn’t given the situation as […]
