We have all faced this to some degree. I believe Satan fights us all our life, even before salvation, because he doesn’t want you to come to Christ.

It’s Okay Not To Be Okay
We all have off days. Days where spiritual warfare is not only real, it's intense. Days where things aren’t the sweetest at home. Days where nothing goes right. Those days are hard aren’t they? I don’t like those days, and I’m sure you don’t either. They are exhausting both mentally and emotionally for… Continue reading It’s Okay Not To Be Okay

We recently had a death in our family. When we announced that my husband’s grandpa was sick, many people asked if he was saved.

Do You Want To Be Blessed?

Webster's 1828 dictionary defines it this way: “made happy or prosperous; extolled; pronounced happy.” In Christian circles we often hear that we should not seek to be happy, happiness is fleeting, and… Continue reading Do You Want To Be Blessed?

This little book of 38 verses sends quite a message to the people of Haggai’s day, but it sends a message to us as well. In chapter 1 we see the phrase, “consider your ways” a couple of times and the chapter ends shortly after God says, “I am with you, saith the… Continue reading Thoughts from Haggai
