Numbers 2-3; Mark 13; Job 13 Have you ever been so lost in your salvation that even the light became dark to you? It’s not something we often hear shared on Sunday mornings, and I, for one, can understand why. Darkness in the light isn’t a celebratory concept. Yet, in my real life, outside the […]
Deepening Faith: Reflective Journal Prompt Reflect on the call to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. What does it mean for you to be “all in”? How is the Lord stirring your heart right now, and what steps can you take to respond fully to His call over your life? […]

Ezekiel 37-38; Hebrews 5; Ecclesiastes 1 Over the last several weeks, namely because of my current role, I’ve been pondering the Gospel. My job is to lead an altar call twice a week. I don’t preach the message, but I give the altar call. And so, the altar call has become the most important part […]
Ezekiel 16; 2 Corinthians 13; Psalm 21 Guest Post: Patty Bellingham Are you excited, fellow Christians? Let’s get excited! This is Holy Week! I love Phil Wickham’s song, “Sunday Is Coming.” There is a line in it that says, “Friday’s good ’cause Sunday is comin’.” For myself, as I re-read the account of our dear […]
