Father, we thank You for this great land and for Your promises. Today, may freedom ring across the Blessed United States of America – that is our prayer! The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, has been a federal holiday since 1941. However, the traditions of this day...
Galatians 6:7 is one of my favorite verses of scripture. I especially like the New Living version. Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. The Amplified Bible says it like this. Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will...
A victorious life - it’s what we all strive for. It’s why I do what I do – to show others that a life of victory in God is possible. Nothing encourages me more than hearing one of our writings been a blessing and has given someone a reason to...
“Nana, I’m going to tell you something, but before I do, I want you to promise you won’t try to give me money or anything, I just want to tell you something I did last night.” These are the words I heard from my grandson, Bryson, who just turned 17...
Your Words are Gifts “Words are gifts.” These are the words the Lord spoke gently to my heart not too long ago. I was wrapping a present I had for my daughter, Breanne. It was not something purchased, but something handmade. Within the gift, I placed a note, sharing in...

Today, I wanted to share a praise report that came in one of partners this week. I wanted to share a small praise report with you. I flew back to Washington for a few days to attend a wedding plus I saw friends and family. I used air miles for...
Yesterday, I jokingly referred to Hebrews 11 as the Hall of faith because we read account after account of some of the most noteworthy acts of faith by God’s sons and daughters. Through their testimonies we come to better understand the magnitude of actively walking in faith with God. But...
My friends, today I want to share a teaching with you that a friend of this ministry shared with me. Thank you, Travis, for this in-depth study on hope and faith. Friends, I believe this teaching will bless you – and it is a teaching, not a writing. Study it,...
I came across a scripture last evening that captured my heart. I am sure I have read it many times before, but today, it arrested my thoughts. Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, for by...
I heard it from God first. The word generosity. I knew He was trying to teach me something and He did not disappoint – He continued throughout the day to lead me to scriptures of what He was saying. For in the midst of an ordeal of severe tribulation, their...
