Wide Open
My heart has been focused on prayer these days. There is nothing more powerful and life-changing that you can do for someone than pray for them. I am talking about a place-shaking prayer. A prayer that moves mountains. That shows people their need for a Savior. Those are the prayers I want to pray. If…
Reset
Maybe you cannot see the fruits of your labor. Maybe you cannot see the road ahead. Maybe you are frustrated with everything that evil is doing right now in your life. When we take a step out for God, evil will try to get us to take that step back, to stop working for the…
Slow Down
Lately, everywhere I look, I see signs to slow down. So much of the time, I am rushing through my day. Before my feet ever hit the floor, my day is packed. I live a hurried, busy life. This does not mean that I do not make time for the Lord. He is my rock…

Back Porch
I recently took a trip. During this trip, I had the privilege of seeing God’s creation. I watched the sunrise from my hotel room. While the sun rising looked a little different among the high-rise buildings, it was still peaceful. It was beautiful. At that moment, I missed the sunrise from my back porch. I…
