For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

By: Gabriela Yareliz “But now thus says the Lord that created you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name, you are mine.

Memorable remark from a pastor and his loss-stricken heart

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I heard a testimony of a young pastor whose wife recently passed away. They weren’t even married much beyond their first year, I believe. Her strength and faith, and his peace and love have captivated many hearts. Something he shared today (quote from memory): “I have not and will not, ever,Continue reading “Memorable remark from a pastor and his loss-stricken heart”

UNdaunted

By: Gabriela Yareliz I heard the testimony of this woman, who goes from small beginnings (like finding out she is adopted at 33 years old and feeling unwanted) to becoming a hero for saving young women from human trafficking and sexual slavery. Her name is Christine Caine. God has blessed her with a meaningful ministry.Continue reading “UNdaunted”

I am a sucker for patriotism and doing things to honor your flag and country. I like the ideaContinue reading “Athletic”

Shadow Men

Jason: “Only a God can save us”? Archie: I didn’t say some preacher could. But what a story. Jason: Story? Archie: The Jesus thing. God, the Creator of the universe, becoming a man, suffering worse than any person suffered, suffering an injustice worse than any of us can suffer? Incredible! I forgot that’s what ChristiansContinue reading “Shadow Men”

Going deeper

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes in life, we make the same mistakes over and over again, or the storms keep ripping(figuratively, of course) the limbs off of the trees and all that surrounds us. Sometimes, we worry, and we seek so many things at the same time. It can be overwhelming. Today, I heard Pastor Tony Evans sayContinue reading “Going deeper”
