Let’s Talk About Women In Ministry: God Is Calling You!

Last updated on: May 8, 2026 at 4:47 pm   By Kathy King

“God has always used women to shake kingdoms and call men to courage.” James Owen I’ll never forget the time my husband and I were sitting in a mixed Sunday School class. There was a male leader, who taught very well. But when discussion was brought forth, I piped up with what was on my heart. I don’t suffer from shyness, I love to talk about the Bible. The teacher peppered me with questions about my viewpoint, but when the... Read more

Has The Current Generation Been Borne On Three Great Lies?

Last updated on: April 30, 2026 at 10:42 pm   By Kathy King

“We are stuck in a generation where loyalty is just a tattoo, love is a quote and lying is the new truth.”~ Unknown   Yesterday I was listening to Alistair Begg put forth an interesting argument. He put forth that the current generation has been born on 3 great lies. They are:   There is no creator God There is no absolute morality There is no universal truth but only my truth. Do You Agree With His Viewpoint?  Begg used... Read more

As World Events Accelerate-A Prayer of Position and Faith

Last updated on: April 23, 2026 at 3:54 pm   By Kathy King

Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]. Hebrews 10:23   In the recent months during my prayer and meditation time the word “Acceleration” has played over and over in my spirit. I decided to look in my journal to see how many times I had written about acceleration. One such entry caught my eye on November 5, 2025- At 3:45 am... Read more

Confession In The Midst Of Chaos: Hold Fast To God’s Word

Last updated on: April 16, 2026 at 6:43 pm   By Kathy King

God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. C.S. Lewis When I was a kid, my grandmother watched her “stories.” What were her stories? Well, the usual suspects: Days of Our Lives, Guiding Light and of course, As the World Turns. The theme songs are ingrained in my brain like a core musical memory. When I saw the hourglass come on I thought, “Nana is going to sit... Read more

How Do I Find God’s Ability While The World Is Burning?

Last updated on: April 9, 2026 at 10:38 pm   By Kathy King

“If your life is an uphill slope, set your sails to catch God’s power. ” Woodrow Kroll Do you have ability? Where does that come from? Can you count on it as a constant thing? The word ability means: power to perform, possession of enough strength or skill to accomplish a given task. Fitness to do, with the power to do.

War, Hatred, and Holy Days: Finding Faith in the Chaos

Last updated on: March 26, 2026 at 11:02 pm   By Kathy King

Iran, Israel, Easter And Passover-Oh My! “Passover is a time of reflection and joy. When we emerge from our cocoon of doubt to fly freely on the wings of faith.” ~Unknown Here we are again, another week of war, hatred, pious and pernicious politicians and podcasters. Whatever can we do? I say we all collectively throw our hands up and scream, seriously! After that, we should pray without ceasing.  Concerning Iran Are you familiar with the history of Iran’s occupation?... Read more

God Hasn’t Changed-Have We?

Last updated on: March 5, 2026 at 3:06 pm   By Kathy King

“We cannot change God. If changes are to be made, they must be made in us.” R.C. Sproul   The last few days and weeks have been interesting, have they not? It is hard to believe that it is only March, it seems as if several years of events have happened in the space of only a few weeks. Let’s face it, gone are the days where we can just warm a pew at a church once in a while.... Read more

Dear Christian-We Must Talk

Last updated on: February 26, 2026 at 3:37 pm   By Kathy King

“A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.” J.C. Ryle   “This is one of the most vile people I have ever seen in a leadership position.” “Ugh, she can’t even utter a complete sentence let alone lead a nation.. and don’t get me started on her reputation.” “I can’t wait to hear what the podcast has to say about his widow today, she is so evil.” These... Read more

Beauty From Ashes-A Lent Meditation

Last updated on: February 19, 2026 at 2:00 pm   By Kathy King

“God wants to give us beauty for ashes but we must be willing to give up our ashes.” Unknown Yesterday I attended my very first Ash Wednesday Service at a local Methodist Church in my area. Growing up as a Southern Baptist, we never really had an Ash Wednesday anything. As this last year has been particularly challenging in my family, with children deployed, a husband with health struggles and of course the world that has taken leave of its... Read more

A Sermon Is Not Supposed To Be A TED Talk

Last updated on: January 29, 2026 at 3:11 pm   By Kathy King

“The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying not, ‘What a lovely sermon,’ but, ‘I will do something!'” — Francis de Sales Let’s face it, if you live in the United States, or I would even say in many parts of the world, it seems like we are at a tipping point. I know I’ve mentioned these words before in varying degrees, but seriously, I feel there is a threshing floor moment happening on a daily... Read more
