Peace in the Face of Foreclosure
My house has been foreclosed! After years of negotiating and trying to keep up with our repayment plan, we have lost the house we fought so hard to keep. Our mortgage payment continued to escalate along with other bills throughout the last few years. My husband of 10 years and I have two precious daughters ages 3 and 5.... >Read More

From Tears to Triumph
I couldn’t pull myself away. The inscription, engraved on a gold plate, just below the image of two infants sleeping peacefully in an old-fashioned cradle, confirmed what I already knew — this was the memorial to honor my unborn children — the ones not with me because of abortion.

When All Else Fails, Tell the Truth
“Is something wrong”? It was a simple question but left me with a choice. I could lie or tell the truth.
I was afraid of hurting or even losing a friendship if I answered that question with the truth. The easiest thing I could do was respond and say, “no, everything is fine”. I knew that if I did not... >Read More

After the loss of his ten children owing to a “natural disaster” (Job 1:19), Job said, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21). At the end... >Read More

Wars and rumors of wars in the Middle East are fueling speculation throughout the media and political world that perhaps we are living in what the Bible calls the last days before the return of Jesus Christ.
In a USA Today article entitled, “In The Headlines, Glimpes of the Apocalypse,” columnist Chuck Raasch last week raised a question...... >Read More

Does God Care?
We’ve watched our TV screens in horror. The pain and agony of fellow human beings in the midst of disaster goes beyond our comprehension. We grapple with the magnitude of it. Our minds scramble to make sense of it and we simply cannot. Opinions fly from every side. “Its God’s judgment,” some say. Others say, “It’s a sign of... >Read More

The hum in the office grew as people filtered in that morning. Soft chuckles over some incident the night before, muffled conversations and ringing phones filled the air.
