    Are you willing to go where God sends you and speak and act in his name? It all boils down to a matter of trust.

    Have you ever had an occasion where you thought that your faith was being tested, especially in unusual circumstances? If so, you’re not alone. Sometimes God uses unusual circumstances to test a person’s faith. For example, in 1 Kings 17:8-24 he told Elijah to go to an unlikely ...read more

    God will always find a way to speak to us. Sometimes it's a verse of scripture. Sometimes it’s a song. Sometimes it’s His voice we hear. Sometimes He will use a person. For this woman, God brings the prophet Elijah into her life.

    Today is Mothering Sunday and in many places around the world the focus will be on mothers. I think it is fair to say that simply having children does not make a woman a mother. Abraham Lincoln said: No one is poor who has a godly mother Napoleon said, “The future destiny of a child is the work of ...read more
