Think on These Things
I aim to practice this scripture until it permeates my being in every area of my life, from marriage to family, church family, ministry, publishing, and caregiving.
Walk in the Spirit
I’m celebrating my birthday this weekend. I don’t remember when this birth took place, but I do remember my spiritual birth—being born again changed my life. My desire, my focus, and my goals were new. I desired to pray, read, and obey the Lord. I focused on...
Always Rejoice
I recently heard a message by Dr. David Gibbs concerning worry. I have read, taught, and heard this familiar text preached throughout my Christian life, but I’m not living it now. Philippians chapter four, verses four through nine, are life-changing verses. In...
It is Well
Mom and I haven’t felt well lately. I assume the cause is a virus, and Mom also had a UTI. Recovery from the virus seemed final, but then I felt terrible again. Caregiving for a dementia patient is challenging, and feeling well is a mental and spiritual battle for...
Forget It!
When I fail, I struggle to forget. When others fail, I struggle to forget. Satan has a way of dangling things over my mind, like dangling a banana for a monkey. I’m naturally inclined to snatching the thoughts and consuming them rather than praying, quoting...
Do You Know?
Mark Lowry wrote Mary, Did You Know? in 1984, with music written by Buddy Greene in 1991. This song searches Mary's thoughts and how much she knew about Jesus. Did she know her baby boy would heal, save, deliver, and make all things new? We know she knew he was God’s...
Forbid Them Not
(Noah's behavior is not due to neglect or lack of love!) I recently watched The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! This movie perfectly captures the tone and premise of the original book written by Barbara Robinson in 1972 and the play written after that. We produced this...
The Cost of Adoption
Almost 18 years ago, we brought our first son into our family. He was born to a young woman in challenging circumstances, and he needed a home. Although we were happy to take him in, we wanted it to be permanent. Adoption papers had to be signed, and we knew there...
Testimonials
I met Lisa Robbins in 2013, through her jail ministry, while incarcerated in Fentress County. I had no idea that over the next few years, through God, she would make such an impact on my life. Her faithfulness to consistently visit, pray, and share scripture with us inmates was an encouragement to me, as well as others. She prayed for years for my salvation. Jesus saved me in 2020, so today I am a born again Christian! To God is the glory.
