Where Growth and Grace Meet
When the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him,” certainly He knew the helper He was to create would be vastly different than her husband. I mean, at least that is the thought which occurred to me today as I surveyed the life…

The Power of Prayer
Author and speaker, John Ortberg challenged me when he stated, “Many people believe that their prayers won’t change God’s actions, so they ask themselves what the point is of praying.” It reminded me I am often much like the father in Mark 9.

Mary, a Surrendered Faith
From the moment God made Eve, He had special plans for women. Even when her own act of disobedience brought about the discipline of her Creator, God, He was gracious – He made her a mother! The miracle of having a child, the honor and great privilege of motherhood, was her Father’s loving hand once…
