Remembering Billy Graham

Shield of Strength
Captain Russell Rippetoe was serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003. Previously, while serving in Afghanistan, Rippetoe saw men die, which brought a renewal to his Christian faith and a new passion for the Bible. On the chain around his neck, he wore a “Shield of Strength,” a one-by-two-inch emblem displaying a U.S. flag… The post Shield of Strength appeared first on FaithGateway.

Something out of Nothing
When I look at things — if I see nothing I tend to think — it is nothing. And, will be, nothing … For instance, I am a little nervous. Come next September, I am supposed to be releasing my next book, “Rest Now: 7 Ways to Say No, Set Boundaries and Seize Joy (available for pre-order now).” Frankly, I don’t feel prepared. I have no strategies. I haven’t shared much lately on social media. I haven’t done the stuff expected of an author. I’ve been homeschooling…because of CoronaVirus…because I still need to be a good mother… With this, there’s an inclination not to expect much of the book. But, Holy Spirit reminds me…

Leading from the Heart: What if Jesus Were CEO of Your Company?
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you.

The Power of Christ
The news tells us we’re powerless. “Cover your face, or else… ” “We just don’t know when we will all be okay…” “There is no telling how many people will die…” The endless discussion is enough to make even the most faithful Christian weary, tired or uncertain. Many of us have taken down our defenses. Now, it seems we are prey. We feel powerless. Yet, we are not powerless. Christ has not left us powerless, but power-full. “I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in…

A New Way to Live
My oldest went to college this year and, like all slightly crazed mothers, I tried to cram every last lesson into his precious mind in the final weeks before he moved out, as if this was the last legal time to preach to the poor kid. Here was the last speech, the final words, my… The post A New Way to Live appeared first on FaithGateway.
