Pray Before You Leap

Category: Daily Devotions, God's love, Pray, prayer

As I recently prayed about an important decision I needed to make, I remembered there was a time when I didn’t. As a young Christian I didn’t even know that I should. When I was in my early twenties I moved without even praying about it. I loved God and it was not my intention […]

Confession is a Radical Reliance Upon Grace

Category: Content, Daily Devotions, God's love, prayer

One day it dawned on me. I had become the very thing I hate– a hypocrite. A pretender. Two-faced. I’d written sermons about people like me. Christians who care more about their appearance than integrity. I knew what I needed to do. I’d written sermons

Fall on the Lamb

A dear friend of mine relayed a story to the rest of us in our women’s Bible study. In Scotland, two men were thatching a roof. One slipped and fell off. The other heard him cry out but couldn’t reach out fast enough to save his friend. As he inched toward the edge, the second […]

THE DECISION OF A LIFETIME

Think of the End to Motivate the Action
