Esthers Rising! A Call to the Mall
There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. Great revolutions, for good or for evil, occur during these times. Revolutions where men, women, and even entire generations risk everything for a moment in history to bring about great change. We have an example of this in the Bible, as told in the book of Esther.[1] A Pivotal Moment Esther was pivotal in changing history for the Jewish nation. It took boldness, courage, and a willingness to risk her own life for the sake of...
Holiness in an Unplanned Pregnancy
Stunned. Terrified. Both fear and excitement stirred in her heart. How could she ever explain it? Did my ears deceive me? I’m pregnant?!? Yet that’s what the Angel told her. “You will conceive in your womb and bear a son….” [1] But I am a virgin, she thinks. I’ve never been with a man! And I am betrothed to Joseph. What will he think of me? What will he do? He may reject me, abandon me! Thoughts raced rapidly. She would be mocked, ridiculed, scorned, maybe even sent away, dismissed, rejected,...
Why Pray for The Peace of Israel?
No matter where you are at with your heart’s response to the onslaught of terror that has infiltrated our nation and around the world, the truth must be told. The war in Israel is egregious and a horrific reminder of how depraved men can become when they allow their heart, mind, and soul to be given over to the prince of darkness. Our hearts cry out in utter shock and astonishment at what we are hearing and seeing from the middle east. “On Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, the Hamas terrorist group...
God’s Children Are Not For Sale
“It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” – Jesus [1] Imagine as a father, taking your son and daughter to a “talent show” in response to a promising opportunity that came knocking at your door. Your children scurry about in anticipation of an exciting adventure ahead. You try to keep them still long enough to clean and dress them up. You put on your only suit and drive them to...
Memorial Day 2023 – Some Things are Worth Fighting For
Our observances of Memorial Day with cookouts, pool parties, and beach trips can be seen as a celebration of life for the men and women of our military forces who died while protecting our national security and our freedoms. Since the civil war, the sacrifices of over a million men and women who gave up their lives to defend our country knew that the price of freedom is extraordinarily high and comes with a grave cost to our soldiers in multiple ways. If not death, then trauma, acute stress,...
Raising a Post-Roe Generation
I recently took my granddaughter Harmony, age 12, to the 50th annual March for Life and a historical first since Roe vs. Wade was overturned from a federal level on June 24, 2022. I wanted Harmony to catch the spirit of a new era that her generation was experiencing. I wanted to activate within her an understanding of current events, educate her on the issues of abortion and current legislation, and help her to find her voice. I wanted to pour into my granddaughter the truth of God’s standard...
Critical Choices for an Unwanted Pregnancy: Life or Death?
In a Post Roe-Wade nation gone mad for the right to terminate conception through abortion, panic is in the air for the nearest abortion mill. But is anyone considering the alternative? Does human life of the unborn, yet living and developing fetus, have a right to be born? Of course, circumstances with pregnancy can span a vastitude of problems. Fortunately, there is support out there. Nonjudgmental, yet extremely helpful support can be found in local pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) who do...
God Bless America! Let us Not Forget the Origin of our Nation and Covenant Agreement.
This July 4th, we celebrate the liberties and freedoms that were celebrated in our Declaration of Independence that separated us from tyranny rule across Europe. Prominent in the establishment of America’s colonization was an English minister, Richard Hakluyt (1552-1616), who advocated for America to be a safe haven for those persecuted for their faith. His vision for America to be a place of religious refuge impacted many who fled to escape brutal treatment from the English State Church....
