To lose spiritual vision is to lose the supernatural feature of the spiritual life. Many years ago, I struggled under the accusation and mockery of the enemy … You are just too spiritual! What is wrong with you? Do you think you are something special? At the time, I feared pride as if it were the unpardonable sin and so it was tormenting. Little did I realize that the fear of pride was pride in itself. I had yet to recognize what God’s Word so clearly states…

For I know that in me (that is in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

One day the Lord broke through that assault and said…

You are normal. Many are not where they need to be, which makes you appear to be superspiritual.

Have you seen what I offer that you be not wandering in the bogs of the world filled with fear and looking to idle gods made of man's hands to tempt your own life?

Last weekend, my daughters and I attended the local annual soft fundraiser for the Prolife pregnancy center in town. They showed the documentary unPlanned of Abby Johnson: Former director at Planned Parenthood in Texas. It is an extremely powerful documentary. It broke our hearts it broke my heart. A couple of weeks ago, our youth group led our church and some members of our community to take part in the 30Hour Famine, raising awareness and funds for Nazarene Compassionate Missions and World Vision for the people of Malawi. Becoming more aware of the sufferings of the people of Africa is also heart breaking and life changing. How is it that we as Christians can turn a blind eye to these basic needs of others around us? Yes, yes, I know we're told there are agencies in place to tend to their needs so that we do not get taken advantage…

Ecclesiastes 5:2Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.I've been thinking a lot about prayer lately. Why I pray. How I pray. Am I really envisioning God correctly when I pray? How often I pray. What I pray for. All of these are very important questions when being a Christian. When I stop to pray… am I really praying as if God is right there with is arms wide open and His ear so intently on the words that come out of my mouth? And with the words that come out of my mouth are they in His will? Because… if they are not in His will then there is no use praying. You have to be in line with Him and His heart…

Dear Mom, I know you must have really busy, and consumed with you life and had all kinds of goals set for yourself to ever think of me. In writing you i want you to know how much I love you and forgive you for everything you did. The day you made the choice is one I will never forget. Thinking back on that day and wondering if you even knew what you were engaging in at all. Did they tell you about me or just give some logic about truth and rights? Seeing you walk away that day and leaving me behind was by far the hardest day for both of us. Tears rolled down my face and yours. Mom, my love is greater than your choice and bigger then the life I would have lived. You terminated your gift for life becuase they told you the choice is…

Does Faith become easier?Reading through the book of exodus through to Joshua, I often find myself wondering what in the world was wrong with the people of Israel. After all the Lord did for them, after how he’d shown himself with undeniable evidence to them; from the plagues of Egypt to the parting of the red sea, to manna in the desert, but they still constantly grumbled and doubted.Apparently, what was wrong with them back then is exactly what is wrong with us today. Most of us have seen God’s faithfulness and mercy in our lives, maybe not with miraculous manifestations like the days of Exodus, but even in subtlety there is still a strong conviction of God. We have seen Him fulfill some promises; we have a bunch of answered prayer maybe not all, but a number nonetheless. We have occasionally felt so sure of God’s presence, love, concern…
