It’s Time For Us To Tap Into The Power Of Prayer

Last updated on: July 10, 2026 at 2:28 pm By Kathy King

“Prayerlessness is our declaration of independence from God.” Daniel Henderson You’ve probably heard it many times before, “When all else fails, pray.” You may have read some inspiring stories about miraculous answers to prayer in dire circumstances. There is only one problem with those stories, they have not come to fruition in your life. You often wonder, is it me? Does God even listen? There are more important things going on in the world right now, my problems are nothing in... Read more

America At 250: Are We Coming In On A Wing And A Prayer?

Last updated on: July 4, 2026 at 8:41 am By Kathy King

“Prayer is our partnership with God in transforming history.” Unknown America is about to be 250 years old. That in itself is amazing; the Founding Fathers’ grand experiment lives on to this day. She’s endured much, yet the flag still flies. In the 1940s, there was a song called: “Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer.” Its words seem very appropriate not only for the state of America today, but the whole world. Coming in on a Wing and...

Is Therapy Culture Creating A Spiritually Dead Church?

Last updated on: June 30, 2026 at 6:20 pm By Kathy King

“Therapy was invented about 120 years ago. As the years have passed, everyone is more anxious, neurotic and depressed than ever before.” Josh Howerton Has therapy culture produced a spiritually dead church? More importantly, has it decreased the power and prominence of the Word of God in Christian life? Before we delve into this subject, I’d like to say upfront, therapy has helped many people. I am not anti-therapy by any means, but it must be discussed that we... Read more

Are Seeker Sensitive Churches Cotton Candy Christianity?

Last updated on: June 20, 2026 at 10:38 am By Kathy King

“It is nothing new when young people want churches to pander to them. What is new is the extent to which churches have obliged.” Michael Horton I want to tell you a story, it’s a tale that seems to repeat. A church had a waning congregation, it had become difficult to make ends meet. Meetings were held, ideas were put forth, and the people asked, “How can we get people to come through the doors?” “We’ve got to modernize,... Read more

Let’s Talk About The SBC’s Vote To Ban Women In Leadership

Last updated on: June 12, 2026 at 9:55 pm By Kathy King

“When you shut the mouths of women and tell them they can’t preach or teach you are silencing half of God’s army. Which is exactly what satan wants you to do.” ― Stephanie Mayberry, The Unsilenced Woman: What the Bible Really Says about Women Who Preach Yesterday the Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted that women cannot serve in any pastoral roles in the church. The vote was put forth by Robert Mohler, the President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary... Read more

Are You Frustrated With Our Leaders? Try This Prayer

Last updated on: June 6, 2026 at 9:56 pm By Kathy King

“Prayer does not equip us for the greater work. Prayer is the greater work.” Oswald Chambers Do you find yourself wringing your hands in despair during the current political situation? You may have had the unfortunate happenstance of reading vile comments from those who say they absolutely love Jesus. Yet the comments? They make you wonder. Or, you have made those comments yourself. In your mind, you rationalize that the leaders are corrupt and perhaps a bit crazy and should... Read more

You Can’t Say You Love God And Do Whatever You Want

Last updated on: May 28, 2026 at 9:48 pm By Kathy King

“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.” Thomas Sowell There is a question that must be asked of the church of today. Let’s start with the Scripture reference: One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked Him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”... Read more

Why Memorial Day Isn’t a Celebration

Last updated on: May 22, 2026 at 4:06 pm By Kathy King

“It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.” General Norman Schwarzkopf This Monday, we celebrate Memorial Day. To me, it is hard to categorize this day as a celebration; I’d much rather call it a day of solemn remembrance. We remember those who never became husbands, fathers or friends. We say a prayer of thanks for the brave families who lost someone they hold... Read more

Pentecost And The Infilling Of The Holy Spirit-A Prayer

“A Christian who neglects the Holy Spirit is like a lamp that is not plugged in.” Unknown As this Sunday approaches, Pentecost will come. Have we lost the significance of this great event?

Is There A Biblical Explanation For UFOs?

Last updated on: May 14, 2026 at 12:10 pm By Kathy King

“You know, if I look out the window and see locusts, frogs and fire falling from the sky, I’ll probably think, Oh, it’s just Monday. The world is getting crazier by the day.” Me-Yesterday. In the last few days, the government has started to release the UFO files. In those files, you can see some flying objects do some unexplainable feats of flying. Some objects look as if they are coming straight out of the water, defying the senses. All... Read more
