Letting Go

everfaith

There are strongholds in my life.  I feel fortunate that the Lord has opened my eyes enough to see them.  I know in my head that He has overcome the world and everything the enemy decides to throw at me.  It’s something else, though, to transform the deepest parts of myself that cry out for the light. “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” -Phil 1:6 God isn’t finished with me yet! It is interesting to sit back … Continue reading Letting Go

Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth

everfaith

Can you hear it? That high-pitched sound of remorse and terror is actually closer than any of us might expect, and it’s stalking the most vulnerable of our society and those we hold most dear: our children. Such gloom and doom does not reflect the purpose of my blog, which is to encourage and uplift. There are times in life, however, when it is prudent to draw a line in the sand, reflecting: this far and no further will we travel. We will take back our children’s innocence. We will stand in faith against the powers of this dark world, … Continue reading Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth

His Glory

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” Romans 8:35, 37 There is an intense spiritual battle being waged in the world.  Our own land of the free is fast becoming anything but free for those of us who proclaim Christ.  Make no mistake about it…the enemy thinks he is winning.  In less than half a century, the morals of our culture have become twisted and upside down, and many … Continue reading His Glory

Huckabee and the Master’s Plan

everfaith

Remember the story of Joseph? I can’t even imagine what must have been going through his mind as various seemingly horrible things came his way: His brothers threw him in the well They sold him as a slave After becoming a successful manager, he was falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife and thrown into prison At that point, Joseph becomes immensely successful when he is able to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams. He becomes second-in-command, the head honcho and in charge of ALL the food stores in Egypt. Now, when famine hits, his brothers come to buy food. They had no idea their … Continue reading Huckabee and the Master’s Plan

Light in the Darkness

everfaith

Driving around the neighborhoods and cruising through the Target aisles, it is obvious that many people and customers are excited about the darker side of Halloween. Gruesome fake body parts (I will spare the details here), gravestones, nooses, and the like are scattered around yards and stacked in aisles alongside the more innocuous spider webs and ghosts. There is something deceptive that attracts us to darkness. Why does the news media report on the Jeffrey Dalmers of the world? Why are some people so attracted to horror movies, books and tv shows? Watching such things makes our hearts race — … Continue reading Light in the Darkness
