Teaching Our Kids to Pray (When We're Still Learning Ourselves)

Teaching Our Kids to Pray When We’re Still Learning

If I'm honest, teaching my kids to pray has shown me how weak my own prayer life really is. I want to raise children who run to the Father in every moment, who instinctively turn to Him when they're hurt or happy or confused. But the truth is, I'm still learning to do that myself.

Hands Up: The Power of Prayer & Support

Are you There God?

Are You There, God?

I came across an article recently entitled “Are You There, God”? It was written by a woman who had experienced several devastating experiences in her life. First, she had been informed that a person whom she had known for most of her life had died the previous day in an automobile accident. At the time of her death, the lady was undergoing treatment for cancer. She had gotten married just a few weeks before the accident took her life. Secondly, the writer also mentioned that a woman, whom her community had rallied around, lost her battle with cancer a little over a month after her daughter’s first birthday. Thirdly, that month a 2-year-old boy in her city had allegedly been killed by his own father. In addition to all of this, the writer’s sister was undergoing medical tests for cancer, and she herself was afflicted with MS.

No, It’s Not ‘Just a Show’: Guarding Your Heart in Modern Media

In the comments of last weeks episode of The Recap, one of the commenters, my awesome Cousin Cynthia, said she attends Echo Church in Sunnyvale California. One of the blessings of that ministry is the ability to discuss sermons with people and open the word together. So I watched as Pastor Filipe Santos preached on sheep responding to the voice of their Shepherd and the many false shepherds that can try to lead the sheep away, and instantly my mind went back to a moment a year ago when, like the prodigal son, I came to my senses in the pig pen I was living in, and it was seriously like God just slammed the brakes on my whole life.

What's In Your Hand | The Power in Surrender

The Goodness of God

The Goodness and Grace of God

It is certainly good to be with you again today! 2026 has been a very different beginning for me, to say the least! Thanks to the quick response by Jim and Michele, and the goodness of God, I am able to continue to enjoy the blessings of life and family. My sincere thanks for your many prayers on my behalf.

My life song has been playing over and over in my mind numerous times during the last two weeks. It was meaningful to me prior to January 4, and certainly meaningful to me today!

All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God

Are You Listening?

Are You Listening?

Elijah is one of the more colorful people mentioned in the Bible. His story is told extensively in First and Second Kings. One very impressive account of his life is the story of his confronting the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18 and following). He challenges them to a contest of sorts to see whose god is the true God. The futile attempts of the Baal prophets to call down fire upon their sacrifice are almost laughable. Elijah even engages in some good-natured chiding as he challenges them to call louder to their gods because they don't seem to be responding.

Then what follows is the extraordinary demonstration of the power of the God of the Bible, as God sends fire to not only consume the sacrifice, but also the water, the wood, and the rocks of the altar. When King Ahab's wife Queen Jezebel hears of the confrontation and the fate of the prophets of Baal at the hands of Elijah, she threatens him with death before the end of the next day.

Hold Forth the Word of Truth

Hold Forth the Word of Truth

As we enter the new year, we are reminded again of the encroachment of false teachings within the Church. Jesus prophesied that many will fall away." (Matt. 24:10) Likewise, Paul, speaking of the last days said, "Men will hold to a form of religious but will deny its power." Paul also said that the Anti-Christ cannot be revealed until the great apostasy" takes place. (2 Thess. 2:3) Many Christian scholars believe that the beginning of apostasy began in the 1920's when the German School of Higher Criticism teaching swept into American seminaries, stating that the bible should be treated like any other piece of literature with a critical eye. The concept of inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible were rejected. The Bible came to be viewed as man's search for God rather than God's revelation to man. As a result of human interpretation, the Bible was considered to be full of myths, legend and superstition. Before long, theologians denied the virgin birth of Jesus, His miracles, His resurrection and His second coming.
