My question poignant. All my life I had chosen to be on God's team but now I felt God had no time for me, no wish to be a reality to me. I had passed my use-by date and my prove-by date and I was an unacceptable liability. I was too useless to be a member of His team....
A number of years ago while my husband was pastoring in Georgia, I had this question posed to me one afternoon by an adult visitor to my home. The lady in question was an emotional wreck. She kept trying to analyze why there is so much hurt and suffering in this world...
For many years I knew not God. I was fearful of Him and worried about what punishment He would administer if I did something wrong, or if I sinned or made Him angry. I was not at all sure there was a God. But if there were, I certainly did not want to irritate Him and...
"As Jesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging. Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was. They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. And he called out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!'...
Many years ago I was really into jogging. I ran everywhere but my favorite place was a trail around Stone Mountain Park. Back then few knew about the trail and I could jog along in relative peace, quiet and solitude. One afternoon I was half way through a five mile...
My assistant and I had been in a meeting near Atlanta, Georgia, when a lady burst into the conference room saying everyone had been ordered out of the building. She wasn't sure why, but it was important that we leave as soon as possible. I tried calling my office, but...

A married couple appeared in court to finalize their divorce proceedings and as the case continued, the unfaithful, husband seated next to his young, stunning mistress, looked over to his soon to be ex-wife and gazed a few moments. It has been years since he actually...
It all started out innocently enough. I was doing a routine search of the ministry websites, looking for a story that had been published a couple of years ago, and when the site search engines repeatedly crashed my web browser, I decided to look it up on Google....
"An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips." (Prov. 24:26 NIV) It always pays to be honest. Even when you wouldn't have been caught anyway. Especially at Christmastime. Recently our female golden retriever paid a special visit to a male dog owned by a local...
"I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him, - since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened - so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the...
This morning I put moisturizer on to hide my wrinkles, makeup to cover my age spots, and mascara to make my lashes look longer. I thought about all the effort I put into disguising the real me. I color my gray hair, pluck my chin hairs, and buy clothes that will...
"But I say, walk and live (habitually) in the (Holy) Spirit (responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit); then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God)." (Galatians 5:16 AMP) "The acts of the sinful...
