The account of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42 is a well-known passage of Scripture. It is often used to encourage worship over service, to which I would completely agree. I’d like to take a look at Mary’s worship. Mary and Martha are sisters, Martha appearing to be the elder of the two. As the… Continue reading Where is Your Focus

Vain Repetitions
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” Matthew 6:7 KJV Have you ever read that and decided to stop praying for something? Maybe you were praying about a burden, but weren’t sure if your prayers were vain repetitions. … Continue reading Vain Repetitions
Love is Necessary to Successful Prayer
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” 1 John 4:16 KJV God desires for you to have faith in Him after salvation.

Even the Unclean Spirits
“And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,… Continue reading Even the Unclean Spirits
A Past-Tense Testimony
Today I read Jeremiah 1-3 for my devotions. As you read through the Old Testament, you’ll see Israel’s history. They spent their lives walking with God and turning to idols, God corrected them, they’d come back to Him for a bit, and then back to their idols, and the cycle continued. They didn’t seem to… Continue reading A Past-Tense Testimony
Wrongfully Imprisoned
When was the last time you read through Genesis and studied the life of Joseph? If it’s been awhile, I want to encourage you to take the time to read it. Joseph was put into prison after Potiphar's wife lied about him making inappropriate advances toward her. As any husband would do, he threw Joseph… Continue reading Wrongfully Imprisoned
By Faith
By faith. That is how we are to live as Christians. “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17). “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” (2 Corinthians 5:7). But it’s not always easy, is it? Our flesh… Continue reading By Faith
Sitting in the Grief
Over the last 5 months, I’ve experienced grief like never before. But I also have learned a few things during this time. I never could have imagined grief being so perfectly balanced with hope and joy. I naturally tend to be the strong person, especially around others. I take care of what needs to be… Continue reading Sitting in the Grief
What Are You Taking Into 2025?
What are you taking into 2025? Unforgiveness? Envy? Bitterness? Anger? God says we are to lay those aside. “Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,” (1 Peter 2:1.) “But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth”… Continue reading What Are You Taking Into 2025?
