Are You Practicing Cafeteria Christianity?

Last updated on: August 13, 2025 at 6:04 pm   By Kathy King

“The temptation to modify the teachings of Christ with the hope that larger numbers may ‘accept’ Him is cruelly strong in this day of speed, size, noise and crowds. But if we know what is good for us, we’ll resist it with every power at our command.” A.W. Tozer   When you step into a cafeteria, what comes to mind? In my mind, you go through a line with a tray and pick from a line of foods that you... Read more

Are You Drowsy Spiritually? Hold On With God’s Strength

Last updated on: August 7, 2025 at 3:53 pm   By Kathy King

“We shall not grow weary upon waiting on God, if we remember how long and how graciously he once waited for us.” Charles Spurgeon Today I am sharing once again from my dearly departed mentor, Pat Carver. Though he words were written before I was born, they still apply to us today. It seems as if with all that is going on in the world that we can become lethargic and give up. I myself have been guilty recently. Let... Read more

Are You Ready For What If?

Last updated on: July 23, 2025 at 5:16 pm   By Kathy King

“God will interrupt your entire life to get your attention.” Unknown   What if the Scriptures are true? Are you ready if they are? The scriptures tell us that God is a consuming fire. What does that mean? The Greek Word “fire” is “puretos” which pertains to the holiness of God. God is so holy that His purity, His divine nature and Word purifies us from within. So often we look to God’s Word as a suggestion rather than a... Read more

It’s Time For The Church To Wake Up And Pray For Revival

Last updated on: July 17, 2025 at 6:18 pm   By Kathy King

I would rather speak 5 words out this book than 50.000 words of the philosophers. If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God. If we want conversions, we must put more of God’s Word into our sermons.” Charles Spurgeon   It’s time for the church to pray for revival In the last few months I have written about the concept of history repeating itself. Some may say, new days, old demons. Others might opine... Read more

Why Did Paul Tell Us To Put On The Armor Of God?

Last updated on: July 2, 2025 at 4:06 pm   By Kathy King

“It’s not about the physical fight, but instead a spiritual conflict.” Peter DeHaan The World Seems to be Spiraling Out of Control Today with bated breath and my eyes slightly covered, I opened the news. Bunker buster bombs were dropped in Iran, there are absolutely extreme floods happening in China, the world seems to be on the brink of war, so many people are throwing words around about the end of democracy, illegal immigration, some love the President of the... Read more

As The Fires Of The World Rage Around Us-A Stability Prayer

Last updated on: June 22, 2025 at 10:34 pm   By Kathy King

I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn’t change God. It changes me. C.S. Lewis Each time I share a musing with you dear readers, it seems as if another event has caused utter chaos in the world as we know it. If you are a fan of the absolutely amazing Tolkien, you might recall his musing about a... Read more

Is “Love Is Love” Scriptural?

Last updated on: June 6, 2025 at 10:36 pm   By Kathy King

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. I John 2:15 We are all... Read more

Is It Groundhog Day? Without The Power Of Prayer It Can Be

Last updated on: May 22, 2025 at 4:02 pm   By Kathy King

“Every great movement of God can be traced back to a kneeling figure.” D. L. Moody   It feels a bit like Groundhog Day as far as the news is concerned, does it not? The stories may be a little bit different but the theme is the same. The Sky is Falling, Again! Before you get a little upset that I am making light of what is in a lot of ways some seriously disconcerting situations, I wanted to add... Read more

How To Run The Fast Paced Race Of Life

Last updated on: May 8, 2025 at 2:57 pm   By Kathy King

“When we focus on what God has give us, we find a better way to live.” Meghan Asbury Yesterday I was having a conversation with some of my clients about the speed of time. We both agreed that it seems as if time had a double shot of espresso and is going at a breakneck pace. When you used to hear one major news story a week, now it seems that each day another catastrophe comes through the pipeline, sometimes... Read more

It’s Time For Us To Change Our Coats

Last updated on: May 2, 2025 at 2:47 pm   By Kathy King

“The story of Joseph is in the Bible for this reason: to teach you to trust God to trump evil. What Satan intends for evil, God the Master Builder and Master Weaver, redeems for good.” Max Lucado My mind works in a very interesting way. My husband would probably categorize it as a bit chaotic and scary, but I digress. Songs run in and out over and over in a loop. Music is my meditation. This week the song “You... Read more
