I was in a battle several years ago with the enemy and victory came one way – through worship. I didn’t pick up a weapon, I simply worshipped God. Why? Because that was what He required of me. Another time, in another battle, God instructed me to praise Him for...
Many years ago I was facing some great challenges, it seemed that daily something new would come my way to buffet and challenge me. One day a seemingly small thing happened, but it was the last straw for me. I don’t know if you have ever been there, but the...
Philippians 4:6 says: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

After reading several emails and letters over the weekend, I wanted to take a moment and encourage you in your giving. Several of you have been giving faithfully and generously from the beginning of the year. Many of you have sent in testimonies of harvest, some of you are still...
