Jars of Clay
Isn’t it interesting one of the things Scripture calls us is “jars of clay” 2 Corinthians 4:7. Not long ago, I was broken and defeated from the relentless personal attacks of the enemy – you might call it spiritual identity theft as a result of agreeing with the lies spoken over me. And the more I […]

Rom 4:3 NIV Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1 ESV I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery, your minds may be led astray from […]

A Sure Foundation
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3 NIV “Violence is everywhere!” I cry, but You do not come to save. Must I see these evil deeds forever?

the death of death

A Not So Silent Night
Any woman who has ever been “great with child” can certainly relate to the discomfort Mary would have experienced making the difficult 80-mile journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem so late in her pregnancy.
