Hot Apple Crisp Published Earlier this afternoon, I remembered there was an apple pastry in my freezer. My husband had bought it from a co-worker's daughter a few months ago. It has been a rather cold and wet day today which reminded me that fall will soon be here and...

Standing Room Only Published All my life I have heard small, struggling churches in America justify their condition by saying that it is because they do not compromise the Gospel. People do not want to hear the Truth. People aren't interested in salvation. People don't...

Whom Shall I Fear? Published One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 41:10. In the New Living Translation it reads: Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right...
Sometimes God Says No Published When I was a girl, my mother taught a series of children's lessons on prayer taken from the life of Amy Carmichael who spent many years in India as a missionary. The first story made a tremendous impact on me and I have never forgotten the lesson...

The Candle In The Dark Published Okay, I will admit it. I have a soft spot for period pieces. Now don't get me wrong. Just because I have a soft spot doesn't mean I am not selective. I have no interest in watching people sneaking about with other people's spouses and so...
I Love You But... Published Christians use the word love a lot. We talk about the love God has for us and the love we have for God. However, we also talk about loving our spouse, our family, our friends, fellow Christians and even our neighbor. Talk is cheap. Several weeks ago,...
My Disquieting Thoughts Published In Psalm 94:19, we find the word sarappim which is sometimes translated as "thoughts". I am sure that most of us are familiar with the phrase,"lost in translation" which means that a word or phrase cannot be directly translated...
