Faith Is…
Knowing God Is Able God is able to do whatever He promises. — Romans 4:21 NLT Faith means knowing God is able to do all that He has promised. You may not understand how. You may not know where or when. It may seem utterly, completely impossible. But for all the things you do not… The post Faith Is… appeared first on FaithGateway.

Pursued with Love
When I was a little girl I loved the story of Cinderella. She was the most unlikely candidate, yet chosen. She was raised from a low-standing to a royal position. She was pursued by one and she found love. Stories like this capture us, don’t they? We love to see the one who is down and out, lifted up. The unlovable, loved. The unlikely, redeemed. I wonder if you feel like Cinderella before she went to the palace? If you feel unloved? Down and out? Unseen? Unwanted? Perhaps, your marriage feels dead and you feel left behind. May I encourage you for a moment? The Cinderella story is yours… “By the purpose and…

Calm and Powerful
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. — Proverbs 15:1 Often I can remember the turning point of a conversation when it went from good to bad or from bad to good. At times, I could hear the Holy Spirit warn me: “Stay calm, lower your voice, answer gently…. The post Calm and Powerful appeared first on FaithGateway.

How We Can Face the Hardest Things in Life
January 17th, 2018 transformed our lives. It was the day I (Patrick) heard the word cancer. “Would you spell that for me?” I asked the nurse over the phone. My head was already spinning. Heart pounding. I scribbled a word that I had, until now, never heard before onto the only scrap piece of paper… The post How We Can Face the Hardest Things in Life appeared first on FaithGateway.

The Maturity Question
What is the wise thing to do? What is the wise thing for me to do? We’ve never met, but here’s something I know about you. Your greatest regret… And I’m talking about that moment of regret.

Your Good Father
The woman, sitting with me at the conference table, did an extraordinary thing… It all started with my saying, “I love your bible.” On the spine, I noticed the words “Amplified version” printed. I love the Amplified Version. It gives rich context to the original Hebrew and Greek words in the Word. I admired her treasure. Yet, what this woman didn’t know was my hunt in the last year to find, not just an “Amplified Version” bible, but a “Classic Amplified” version bible. “Classic Amplified” bibles are out-of-print and not so easily found. I’ve looked here and there online, without much success. I’ve thought about how I want this translation on multiple…

Hundreds of books — titles I think of as classics — line the… The post Praying for Your Child’s Use of Technology appeared first on FaithGateway.

You Are the Girl for the Job — Wrapping It Up (Or, is this is just the beginning….?)
Friends, what a study You Are the Girl for the Job has been for us! I don’t know about you, but in this crazy time, it sometimes feels like just doing the minimum required of each day is a victory (and it is!), but the Lord created us for so much more; He’s got plans… The post You Are the Girl for the Job — Wrapping It Up (Or, is this is just the beginning….?) appeared first on FaithGateway.
