Note from Joanè : "Everything I Have" is, at its heart, a prayer of gratitude - not only for the extraordinary moments in life, but for the ordinary blessings we can so easily overlook: another morning, food on the table, a place to sleep, the natural world around us, and

We need to not only pray for self-awareness, but to be obedient to God as far as the people we do life around (outside of our immediate family). For instance, we are not even supposed to eat with those who claim to be a Christian but who are walking contrary to the Word of God concerning sexual sin

The all-wise God is the origin of all that counts as true wisdom. And this God has chosen to offer to each of us the fountain of wisdom by giving us his Word. If we wish to be wise as God is wise, if we wish to display his wisdom, we must look to his Word. We must read it, meditate upon it, underst

I have a confidential prayer request for a friend who is dealing with a bully. Their situation is on the level in which only God can deal with this this bully. The situation is overwhelming to the point of my friend having suicidal thoughts because they are that hopeless. Their desire is to only h

“There is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell” (Johnny Cash said that) And I have to say, Johnny is correct. In all of scripture there are two groups: the ones who follow and then everyone else. Even the ones who profess an empty confession will be grouped with the wicked,saying: “..Didn’t w

Some people to hate you simply because you take the message of the cross to heart as your way of life. Even some professing Christians who have refused to “put to death the deeds of the flesh” will return your love with hostility - they will reject you for no other reason than because you actually

“Do your best to come to me soon, for Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone…” (verse 9-10) … so on top of this heartbreak, Paul was left alone in his grief… (except for Luke) And this will happen to us as well, more and more, as the day approaches. At times we will be

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas, though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge. Selah There is a river whose strea

“But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

So many people still need to learn the proper way to fight spiritual warfare!!! God teaches us to say no to our flesh, He teaches us to store His Word inside of us to keep us from sin, He teaches us not to follow our deceitful hearts, but to only follow His Word which keeps us strong against tempta
