People make plans; governments make plans. Eventually, as people age and leaders change, plans change. Every manmade plan is temporal. In contrast, the LORD’s plans stand forever. In this simple statement, the psalmist pointed out three key attributes of God: He is omniscient (knows everything), omnipotent (unlimited in power), and…
(Psalm 33:8-9) One of the biggest changes I’ve seen in my lifetime is the deterioration of respect—respect for authority figures, for rules, for life in general. It’s rather disconcerting, and I believe it has its beginning in a lack of respect for the Creator. Think about this for a minute……
After watching the movie “War Room,” I set aside a place in my office to post my prayers. I have a daily prayer for my family, and it starts out with the words “Thank You for…” I am so grateful for the family with whom God has gifted me. I’m…
When my heart is heavy or I’m battling pain–emotional, spiritual, or physical–I’ve learned a simple pick-me-up: I sing praise songs. One after another. You see, God inhabits praise, so when I lift my voice in praise and adoration, He infuses me. When He infuses me, I discover the strength I…

What better message is there than the announcement that a Savior is born? Jesus lived, died, and rose again. Because He lives, and because I’ve asked Him to be my personal Lord and Savior, my soul is secure for all eternity. No more darkness abides within me; I’ve been flooded…
Jesus, although weary and overwhelmed, chastised His disciples when they tried to hold back the children from “bothering” Him. In Matthew 18, He says unless people become like little children, they cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven. You see, children innately trust. If Daddy holds out his arms and says,…
