It’s Your Move

Last updated on: October 6, 2017 at 4:59 pm By MaryJo Petersen Castro

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38,39 The practice of and fight for religious beliefs are central themes throughout world history and in the Bible. The Bible records the lengthy history of Israel’s opposition and fickle love towards... Read more

How Are You Communicating?

Last updated on: October 3, 2017 at 4:56 pm By Ann White

“Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.” Colossians 4:6 (NASB) A primary element of every good relationship is healthy communication. Better communication leads to better relationships. That’s why it’s imperative we avoid the four main conversation killers: Criticism, Defensiveness, Stonewalling, and Contempt. Drs. John and Julie Gottman call these negative responses The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and say these statistically predict the end of... Read more

Inquiring of the Lord

Last updated on: September 29, 2017 at 6:01 pm By Kathy Sherwin

Once again David inquired of the Lord, and the Lord answered him. 1 Samuel 23:4 I love reading the life story of King David in the Bible. If it were a movie, it would be labeled one of the greatest action, adventure, and drama movies around- experiencing Saul’s relentless pursuit of David, fuel by his jealous and murderous rage. Watching David’s many narrow escapes from Saul’s army as he passionately cries out to God for protection. Then to see him... Read more

Finding Certainty in Confusion

Last updated on: September 22, 2017 at 5:55 pm By MaryJo Petersen Castro

For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:33 Even under the best conditions, climbing a mountain like Mount Everest is an act of near madness. Standing on top of the peak is like stopping a passenger jet in mid-flight and climbing out onto the wing. The altitude, the below zero temperatures and most alarmingly, the lung destroyer- which produces a confusing atmosphere caused by ultra-thin air. In May 1996, it was clear to anyone listening...

The Art of Surrender

Last updated on: September 19, 2017 at 5:53 pm By Ann White

Is it time to surrender? Are you striving for something you just can’t seem to obtain or resisting something you just can’t seem to elude? How do we know when it’s time to surrender and give up the fight? Quite often we face situations that require our surrender, yet we struggle and strive to maintain control and rigidly stand firm in our position, no matter how loud our inner voice of reason yells trying to get our attention. “Trust in...

Your Life’s Assignment

Last updated on: September 15, 2017 at 5:50 pm By Kathy Sherwin

My life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord. Acts 20:24 When I was just out of school, I had the “perfect plan” for my life. I would marry the perfect man, have the perfect children, live a perfect life. It’s almost laughable when I think about it now, but clearly –– I was pursuing my own comfort and dreams. As believers, God calls us to seek His purpose for our... Read more

Storms Can Bring Out Our Best

Last updated on: September 12, 2017 at 5:48 pm By Ann White

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9 (NLT) Here the Apostle Paul reminds Christ followers to direct their attention toward matters that... Read more
