Tonight, there was a sweet spirit of the beginnings of revival during a church prayer meeting. The Spirit moved as we worshipped, read the Word, prayed, and sought the Lord.

I love the snow, what about you? I’m not talking about a blizzard or sleet, but that perfect snow…the kind that actually sticks to the ground and rolls up to make a snowman. Living in Arkansas, I haven’t been in a perfect snow very many times. I do remember a huge snow around 1985 as

Daily Devotional – Day 18 “Praying the Scriptures” Read: Any Scripture you want – just pray it! I remember the first time I tried to pray for a solid hour. I was about 19 and in my college dorm room. Before that day, I was praying anywhere from 5-10 minutes at one setting. Outside of

Daily Devotional – Day 16 “Prayer Walking” Read: Psalm 1:1-3 You’ve heard of praying and you’ve heard of walking but have you ever heard of prayer walking? It’s a great way to pray for targeted areas like neighborhoods, school, government buildings, and any other place you can walk around. I’ve found walking and running to

Hey Family Church! I didn’t do a devotional today for the 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. I want you to pray specifically about some of the things in this email instead. First, let me start by saying how deeply honored and humbled I am to be your pastor. I’m overjoyed and thankful to the

Daily Devotional Day 15 “When God Doesn’t Answer Your Prayers” Read Romans 8:28-39 We’ve all been there. Some prayers are answered and some are not.
