Daily encouragement for Christians
“God sovereignly made me–the first, the basic–before he did anything else. I was brought into being a long time ago, well before Earth got its start.” (Proverb 8:22-23 MSG) Who am I? “I am Lady Wisdom, and I live next to Sanity; Knowledge and Discretion live just down the street.” (Proverb 8:12) Does that sound […]
Do you have a platform; somewhere you can voice your views or initiate action? If you are on any social media sites you have a place where you can share what’s on your mind or in your heart. How do you use your soapbox? It may be a place for idle chit chat, someplace to […]
Do you believe everything your brain tells you? Have you ever given your soul permission to call your brain out as a liar? My doctor sent me a video he wanted me to watch about fibromyalgia and afterward asked for my response. I said, “At first, I thought you were trying to tell me that […]

I was on a social media site when my interest was piqued about a page offering some interesting clothing bearing Christian slogans.

Most of the time I feel like I’m a pretty good person, until I examine Paul’s list of improper behaviors otherwise known as sin–I see myself […]
“The whole world used the same language, the same words.” (Genesis 11:1) Imagine a world of people who completely understood one another. I challenge you to find one family that completely understands each member. I prefer texting as a way of communication for several reasons. I can consider my answer and change it before I […]
Has God addressed the issue of your mouth yet? Do you open it to let cruel and hurtful words fly to the ears of others? Are you a person who always has something more to say? The tongue is the hardest thing to control and yet we are instructed to keep it closely guarded. The […]
As Christians, we are set apart. We are here as ambassadors recruiting people to become citizens of heaven. We are supposed to be different. So why do we often desire to live like those we are sent to recruit? Israel, the first people group to be set apart, had God as their leader, their ruler; […]
Do you remember a specific time that you were humbled by something? One time for me was around 2010. My husband and I owned a business that was not financially where it needed to be and I had to apply for a food card. In those days you had to physically go into the DHS […]
