God pasted a rainbow in the sky as His promise to never flood the earth again. He gave a command to Noah and his family, to populate and fill the earth just as He had with Adam and Eve (Genesis 9:1-2). But it was not long before the people began to forget the goodness of … Continue reading Skimming the Peaks: Creation to Christ, Part 11: Babel

“. . . BUT prayer . . . made fervently by the church of God.” Acts 12:5b, NASB Prayer made all the difference for the imprisoned Apostle. Do we understand the power of prayer?

Cry Out! Challenge 30
One of my many loves is a loud thunderstorm! Of course, the ideal time is at night in the safety of my home. It makes bedtime so cozy. God’s love is certainly not always felt, but I do love those times when I feel wrapped up in His love just like a thunderstorm effect. But … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge 30
Cry Out! Challenge, Day 29

Like so many meaningless quotes on Facebook, too often, both the humorous and contradictory messages are not helpful in the least. But the other day I was rewarded with a reflective quote that really preached! “Christ did not die to whitewash us, He … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge, Day 29

And I remembered what I had read earlier that morning: … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge, Day 27
Cry Out! Challenge, Day 26
Poor Jeremiah! His ministry was smack dab in the middle of political, moral, and religious decline, accompanied by the Babylonian exile; No wonder he’s called “the weeping prophet!” His eyes are described as a fountain of tears and he weeps day and night (Jeremiah 9:1). He even laments, “Oh, that I could go away and … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge, Day 26

Cry Out! Challenge, Day 24
Have you ever missed-placed your cell phone? Yeah, sarcastic question! An easy find is just to have someone call it for us, right?! But what about when you have it set to vibrate? You need to be very quiet to hear the vibration. Likewise, many times we run through life on speaker phone and never … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge, Day 24
