Are God’s Ears Plugged Toward You?
Many people have trouble thinking of talking to God, especially if they feel like they are "questioning" God. When something bad happens, we cringe while wanting to ask, "Why?" We're afraid God will be displeased with us. That He'll turn His back on us because we...
Lessons From A Camouflaged Octopus
I was so enthralled when I saw this video. There are so many lessons from it: God's creativity and sense of humor. He could even possibly be saying: "How do you try to hide and camouflage with some kind of sinful strategy to protect yourself? And then you lash...

Modesty: We Need It Now!
Last week, I saw something that bugged me. I was shopping in a lingerie store, and I saw a teenaged boy, maybe 16 years old, take two bras to the door of one of the fitting rooms. The door opened and a woman I have to assume was his mother because of her age, reached...
Worry Is More Subtle Than We Think
I'm very excited that my book Partly Cloudy with Scattered Worries will be re-released on October 31st. My goal in that book is to help women (and men!) trust God more by worrying less. As I thanked the Lord this morning about that blessing, for some reason my mind...
How Do We Learn and Change?
For the first time in a very long time, I was in my home overnight by myself because Larry was at a conference for the weekend. So I decided to lock the door from the laundry room into the garage. We don't really need to do that because getting into the garage...

I'd heard the concept before, but when I heard it again it really hit me forcefully: Judas didn't repent, he regretted. I began thinking of the difference between the two and was convicted, wondering how often I actually am regretful rather than repenting. See...

Can There Be Purified People Pleasing?
It's always about the heart—the motives. Over and over again, I find examples in the Bible—that without an emphasis on the condition of the heart and the desires of the motives—would seem contradictory. Here's one example. Paul writes, "For though I am free...
Should People “Accept” or “Follow” Jesus?
I don't think I'd thought of this before, but Bill Clem in his book Disciple suggests we shouldn't so much invite people to accept Christ as Savior but instead, invite them to follow Him as Savior and Lord. I think in our own minds when we share the Gospel, we're...
