He Chose Us
We are the ones chosen by the loving hand of the Father to travel through the riveting times and challenging days of 2020.
A Better Yes
In Ephesians 4, Paul has told us that bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, slander, and malice are not options for us—but he has a better yes!
A Partner and a Partaker
When you and I, who have been made in the exact image and likeness of God, apply His promises to our human lives, we begin to walk in the power and strength that He has designed for us.
"Are You For Us...?"
Perhaps our prayer this week should be, “Father … would You be Lord in America? Would You represent us as the Captain? Would You be in charge?”
Let It Begin With Me
We all deeply desire peace in our relationships, especially in our families and in our marriages, but we must desire it desperately enough to make it a high priority.
Joy and Sorrow
Life is renewed and hope is restored where joy and sorrow meet. Strength is found and peace is discovered as joy and sorrow are stirred together.
Take Shelter
Take shelter under His goodness as you keep your eyes peeled for the miracle hidden in everyday moments.
Christmas Music Season is Here!
Christmas is just too miraculous … too eternal … and too significant … to confine it to one calendar month in this paradigm known as “time”.
Focus On His Goodness
No matter what evil has been fostered by this dreaded virus of the 21st Century … no matter how politicians have mishandled it … no matter how the media has falsely reported about it … we serve a God who is still lovingly in control!
We Are Still Standing!
We are standing tall and resilient as the world topples around us. We are simply doing what God’s people have always done at every horrific crossroads in human history.
Manure Matters
The long-term experience of being covered in circumstantial manure is only offensive momentarily because as time does its work in the makeup of the manure, a miracle happens.
So Long, Summer! Hello, Autumn!
Even though I know that autumn doesn't officially begin until later in the month, somehow the early days of September herald the beginning of fall, don’t they?
What Have You Learned In 2020?
I am a great believer in preparing oneself for the future while being fully immersed in all that belongs to today. I believe that the way we can prepare for a healthy future is to live fully in the reality of the present.
You Are God’s August!
August is God’s show and tell of His unmatched creativity and strategic forethought of provision for His children. August is the moment of the year when all of creation shouts a resounding cheer to the One who created the very first garden in history.
Our Days Are Numbered
Our days are numbered and ordered. We have but so many. Not a day more. Not a day less … than God ordained.
A Note from Carol: One of the most fulfilling aspects of my ministry is the privilege of partnering with others who have dedicated their lives to proclaiming the hope and truth found in God’s Word. I believe we are in a season where God is amplifying the voices of those uniquely called to inspire, encourage, and equip the Church. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Chanel Dokun. She is not only a gifted life coach but also a passionate advocate for helping women discover their purpose and build fulfilling lives. With her expertise in personal growth and her deep understanding of God’s Word, Chanel combines practical wisdom with spiritual truth in a way that feels both empowering and transformative. It is an honor to share my platform with her, and I know you will be deeply blessed by her insights.
