In the Wrestling…
I’m a Jacob. I’d love to be an Esther, or a Joshua, or a Hannah, or a David. I want to see a stronger reflection of Paul or Timothy or Mary or Zipporah or Deborah in my life. But, in truth, more often than not, I’m a Jacob. Why Jacob? Because I’m not very good…

We Will Not Hide It…
Hi, friend! I just wanted to take a moment and boast of our mighty God. I know I shared earlier this year that God has pressed the Book of Psalms into my heart, and at the time, I thought it was for teaching through writing. Lately, though, I’ve come to realize that the emphasis on…

The Power to Demolish Strongholds
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take…

Psalm 107: Speaking Out
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies. For he has gathered the exiles from many lands, from east and west, from north and south.” Psalm 107:1-3 (NLT) Given the name…
