Thanksgiving is a great time for families and friends to gather and enjoy one anothers' company. Even more so, Thanksgiving is a profound time to pause and give thanks for the ways God has been faithful to us as a nation, and more specifically to us as His people.

This month we in America will celebrate a wonderful holiday. The rich scent of turkey and stuffing in the oven, pies on the cooling rack, and a spice candle burning on the stove will usher in our sweet time of Thanksgiving. As we set our best table, play our best music, and put on our best spread; the sights, sounds, and scents of the season will fill up our homes.

When there seems to be no way…

Do you feel like you are walking through enemy territory with guns aimed at you by the enemy of your soul? Do you feel the electricity in the air? You are under the protection of the Most High God. Hear the Lord telling you, "Just keep walking."

One day this young man read Psalm 91 and paused especially on verse seven: “though a thousand fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, it will not come near you.” He cried out to God, "Lord, people are dying all around me.

Are fear and self-awareness getting in where faith and God-awareness once reigned?

You'd think I would know by now not to allow myself any deep introspection on Mondays. Let me explain. During the fall and spring seasons I do a lot of speaking on the weekends. And really, I've learned - for the most part - not to look inward too much on Mondays.

Words are envelopes that carry powerful messages. What we say affects our circumstances, surroundings, and perspectives. Our words are seeds that bear fruit. Every time we open our mouth, little seeds drop to the ground and eventually produce fruit...

You've heard the adage, "Show me a man's checkbook register, and I'll show you what he cares about." Don't worry, we're not sharing check registers today, but I want to make a parallel statement: Show me what a person says, and I'll tell you what they believe.

God wants to make a few adjustments in our lives to give us the BEST He has to offer us.

This is a great time to pause and reflect, to wonder and to wait, to ponder and to pray. God has some very personal and specific words to share with you and me. He is ready to help us make a few adjustments in our lives.

Never underestimate the power of your words.

You've heard it said before, "Show me a man's checkbook register, and I'll show you what he cares about." Don't worry, we're not sharing check registers today, but I want to make a parallel statement: Show me what a person says, and I'll tell you what they believe.

Has God put a promise in your heart? Is He leading you someplace new and out of your realm of comfort and control? Follow Him there.

Has God put a promise in your heart? Is He leading you some place new and out of your realm of comfort and control? I pray you'll follow Him there. But first, wait on Him. Get your marching orders from Him. Seek wise counsel and confirmation from His Word.

"You will not rise to the level of your intention. You will fall to the level of your training."

Recently my husband and I went to take our son to his new college, and I began to let my thoughts run toward all of my friends who had established Facebooks and Twitters and right in the middle of my sin of comparison, the Lord interrupted my thought process and whispered this to me: "You might ha
