This famous love poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning has been recited millions of times by love-struck people worldwide. As Valentine’s Day approaches, let’s briefly look at the history behind the holiday:…

Have you been waiting for your spouse to come to knowledge of Jesus that will transform his life? Sometimes that personal revelation takes awhile... Read about Thomas in the Bible (John 20:19-29). I firmly believe in divine appointments. Thomas wasn't in the room when Jesus met with the disciples on the same evening He arose from the grave. Do you ever wonder why Thomas wasn't present with them?



Remember, this was the same Thomas that… Continue

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)



I don’t know about you, but I desperately need an extra measure of peace in our day and time, especially during the holiday season. The biblical key to peace is Christ’s Authority!

Thanksgiving is a concept as old as civilization itself. Webster defines it as the following: the act of giving thanks; a prayer expressing gratitude; a public acknowledgment or celebration of divine goodness.



As Christians, we acknowledge God’s goodness and provision in our expression of thanksgiving. God’s Word implores us to give thanks to Him. Both Old and New Testament books of the Bible encourage us to have an attitude of gratitude. Psalm 50:14 tells us to, “Offer to God… Continue

Oh, how we love to bash Eve for succumbing to temptation – but don’t we all struggle with that one? Satan does not tempt us in generalities. He is far too clever for that. He likes to pick out something specific to hone in on. Take discontentment, for example. He will tell you that you deserve so much more, or maybe something better, and of course, that one particular thing you don’t have. He just aimed his poison dart at your “pride” and you fell for… Continue

What exactly is a call? You might have a phone call, or a call to dinner, or how about a bad call during a ball game? Then there’s a call to action. No - here we’re talking about a call that requires obedience. A better way of saying it, is a calling.



God has a plan for each of us. There are as many different types of callings as there are people, but two things are common: God’s timing and God’s choosing.



There are various characteristics that… Continue

Hello, my name is Deborah, and I’d like to welcome you to my new blog. I have written a book titled MISSION POSSIBLE – Spiritual Covering. This Christian book is written primarily for the ladies, but is applicable to any relationship. Mission Possible is a powerful tool for any woman who is married to a man who does not share her passion for Jesus. Every woman knows someone who is struggling with this issue in their marriage. It will challenge and invigorate the reader to embrace God’s… Continue

Mark 4:35-41 (NKJ)



On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Then He arose and… Continue
