Fight to Pray
It doesn’t hurt to ask. Have you heard this before? Whether you’re nervous to ask your boss for some time off, or your professor for an extension on a project, or your spouse for some time away from the kids. Maybe someone told you, “Just talk to them about it, it doesn’t hurt to ask!”… The post Fight to Pray appeared first on FaithGateway.

Captivating: All Women Are Called to Mother
To Mother As large as the role is that our mothers play, the word mother is more powerful when used as a verb than as a noun. All women are not mothers, but all women are called to mother. To mother is to nurture, to train, to educate, to rear. As daughters of Eve, all women… The post Captivating: All Women Are Called to Mother appeared first on FaithGateway.

The Art of Patience
We honked. Actually, we didn’t honk, but I really wanted to… The woman ahead of us was — the. slowest. drive-thru. orderer. ever!!! Add this to the fact that we had hungry kids in the back of the car, and a near brush with a police officer who was still behind us, and people in gloves and masks all around us…and I felt nervous. C’mon lady. Move it. Is she ever going to go? What is wrong with this person?! I looked in the rearview mirror and then looked straight ahead trying to see what the issue was. I leaned forward looking for an escape. Tension rose in my chest.…

Staying Calm and Wise
I was pretty sure: I knew my husband’s problem. I knew what was causing him issues — the thing he couldn’t quite put his finger on… I also knew what would help him and change his ways. All the same, I also knew it wasn’t the time, the place, the hour to tell him. It wouldn’t go over well. While my every emotion said, “Tell him, now. Get it out, already.” Wisdom said, “Stay quiet, Kelly. Wait.” Grr… Ever been there? You almost certainly have because we are all — living on top of each other!

Craig Groeschel founded Life.Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1996. He and a handful of congregants began to meet in a small double-car garage lit with nothing more than a pair of twenty-dollar construction lights. Very quickly, though, the little church experienced explosive growth and was forced to move to a larger location. Today Life.Church… The post Epic: You Version appeared first on FaithGateway.

Seek The Heart of The Matter
The man got out of his pickup. He ran down the stairs quickly. As he did, as if I was sizing up a suspect, I noticed his cut-off sleeves, his see-through thin white shirt, his scruffy beard, hid tattooed arms and his body that was far too thin. Was he on drugs? I saw him dispose of something next to the sidewalk. What is he doing? Is there evidence he wants to get rid of? Suspiciously, I kept my eye on him, as he quickly ran off…back to his car. What did he do? I was determined to find out. So, as I approached the area of the sidewalk where he “disposed of…
