I recently heard a testimony of a sister in Christ whose family had been without food and had no money for more. They literally were down to popcorn in their pantry. So they sat down on that night around a bowl of popcorn - much like the woman in I Kings 17 who had only enough flour to make a small loaf of bread. She intended to make that final loaf to feed to her son and then watch him die. She had resigned herself to starvation based on her situation - a great famine throughout the land. But t… Continue

Did you know that God's desire is YOU? That's right - you. Not your talents, not your ability to be good to your neighbor, not your ability to refrain from punching your enemy's face, not your 1.5 to two hour-butt-in-a-chair-do-you-validate? visit to church on Sunday....just you. Your time, your conversation, your excitement and joy, your interest, your friendship. Remember when God created the Garden of Eden? He made it special in every way. Took the time to decorate with flowers and create atm… Continue
