Last evening I went to my friend’s dad’s viewing. I couldn’t think of anything to say, so today I want to share Bible verses for the grieving to help others in a similar environment. When I saw her next to her mom who was next to the casket, it just all seemed so surreal. My …

More storms made the news in the overnight hours as tornadoes and high winds hit parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Reports about these storms and the ones over the past weekend were using words like “record number,” “unprecedented,” “historic.” I didn’t even think about the fact that these are December tornadoes. We should be …
I always feel so encouraged when I read David’s words of faithfulness. Like in today’s passage when he writes, “Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a smooth path,…” (Psalm 27:11).

John 17:1-26 September 23-25 is the SBC PrayerLink Annual Gathering. SBC PrayerLink will be held in …

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant “Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven …
I am blessed to be participating in a book launch. That means I’m reading the book, interacting with the author, and promoting it on social media. There are several wonderful nuggets of information and inspiration within the book, but this quote really resonated with me: “Most hurt feelings are the result of unmet expectations.” Kendra …
Sometimes the people who hurt me the most are those closest to me. Maybe that’s true for most adults.
