What Makes Faith Grow?

6/7/2022

4 Comments

What makes faith grow? What can lift your weary heart when you’ve been praying and believing for weeks and months and maybe years for a situation to turn, a miracle to happen? 
 
You may have started out with bold statements of faith about God’s healing power. You may have declared with certainty God’s ability to save even the most lost person in the world. But now your faith is wavering and what was at least mustard-sized seems to be shrinking in fear and doubt and misgivings.
 
You’re in good company.

The Quaker Oats Advantage (or How to Find a Good Friend)

6/1/2022

Finding a good friend is sometimes easier said than done. The long two years of the pandemic haven’t helped, polarizing people with varying opinions on masks and vaccines and gatherings. It can be tempting to pull back and allow yourself to become isolated – but to do so means to lose out on the value of true friendship.
 
If we opt out of the work of building a friendship, we can end up like the guy I encountered in a Southern California park one day. I’ll call him Joe, and Joe had an advantage...

Can You Love Your Enemy?

What do you do when you’ve been slandered, spitefully used or cursed? The enemy has attacked and you’re grappling with maintaining even a semblance of Christianity in its face. 
 
It could be a coworker or neighbor, your ex-wife or husband… even a spouse or friend that has turned against you, stirring a mixture of painful emotions that make you want to lash out instead of love. Loving that person-turned-enemy is the farthest thing from your current physical or mental state.
 
Don’t be shocked at the attack.

Does Doubt Count You Out?

​When was the last time you shared your faith with someone? Remember when you first got saved and you had to tell everyone? If your zeal has waned, there may be a hidden reason why.
 
I spoke recently at The Blue Cord Impact Conference in Dallas, hosted by iHope Ministries. With a goal to embolden and equip women to share their faith across cultures, I jokingly told the attendees that I had the “privilege” of sharing the stark reality that doubt counts you out of the plan of God. Especially when it comes to sharing your faith with others, doubt will hold you back...

What are you in-between? In between jobs, churches, a relationship... You could be in between healing and wholeness, or in that awkward space between loss and grief and finding a way to continue to live after a loved one has passed...

Lord, help! Two simple words that could make all the difference in your life. Two simple words that can calm the storm and see you through whatever it is you are challenged by today.
 
“‘Lord, help!’ they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He calmed the storm to a whisper and settled the waves.” Psalm 107:28-29

Don’t Let Evil Win

​“If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you...” Psalm 91: 9-10
 
We live in a world of evil. Bad things happen to good people. It’s not what God intended – not what he planned when he first created the earth and mankind so many years ago.
 
A door to evil was opened when man chose evil. In his prideful way – when everything was at his disposal – he took from the one sole thing God had told him clearly to avoid. He bit from the forbidden fruit...

Do You Need Something to Do?

So often we regard Christianity as a list of don’ts. Don’t gossip, don’t let the sun go down on your anger, don’t frustrate your children... There are all true biblical mandates. They are great guides to living and leading a peaceful life in harmony with God and those around you.
 
But have you ever felt bogged down by the “don’ts”? Or feel like you fail at every turn? If you’re focusing on what not to do that can easily happen...

Who Gets the Last Word in Your Life?

12/31/2021

I made a decision the other night that God was going to have the last word on this year.  In fact, I wrestled the year out of the hand of the enemy of my soul and made a declaration of how 2021 was going to end for me.

It was not going to end in depression and frustration. It was not going to be remembered – or forgotten – as a loss.
