The Rapture is one of the events of the End Times, and the Great Tribulation, referred to as the Tribulation in the Gospels and New Testament, is another, butRead More →
The scriptures point to the Rapture, the sudden catching away of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to heaven, as the first event of the end times. When considering the population of the whole earth, the disappearance of millions may for many people seem unnoticeable. For the unbelieving atRead More →
Someone said to me, “I know plenty of people that say they are saved, but they are doing the same things I do, and some of them are even doing worse.” A lot of people can be turned away from salvation because of this. They might think to themselves, “WhatRead More →

Admitting our lives are cluttered is one thing—but admitting our souls are cluttered? That’s harder. We know God loves us. We’ve heard powerful sermons and experienced His hand in our lives.

Nicole has always been a sharp, discerning woman—not easily impressed. She was raised in a home where standards mattered. You carried yourself with pride, spoke with purpose, and held your ground.

We often pray for healing expecting something neat—something quick, quiet, and painless. We might imagine the pain vanishing overnight and the broken places snapping back together like they never fell apart. But God’s healing rarely follows the script we write. It runs deeper. And sometimes, it brings to the surfaceRead More →

Life doesn’t wait to ask questions. Sometimes, the minute we open our eyes, we’re faced with choices that feel heavy. Should I call out sick today? Should I say yes to this date? Is this job really for me? We try to be discerning. We want to believe we’re hearingRead More →
Psalms 62:8 (NLT) “O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.” It’s funny how we think we can somehow hide from God, the very One who sees everything. As if we can edit our emotions or rehearse ourRead More →
When a woman knows who she is in Christ, there’s something unshakable about her. She doesn’t have to shout it out or post it every day—it’s in her walk. It’s in the way she keeps saying “yes” to God when life has tried everything to shut her down. But ifRead More →

“What if God is mad at me”? Every believer has asked this at some point. When your heart genuinely wants to please God, and you fall short, the weight of conviction can feel paralyzing. It can make you feel like God has done what He promised never to do—forsake you.Read More →

We live in a world that treats speed like it’s the whole game. In our culture, hustle is praised.

And it’s not just them, you might startRead More →
Proverbs 9:13 (NLT) “The woman named Folly is brash. She is ignorant and doesn’t know it.” There are some clear distinctions between a woman of the world and a woman after God’s Heart. A woman who truly loves the Lord will strive daily to live in a way that pleases Him.Read More →

Proverbs 3:5 (NLT) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” “If I don’t make it happen, nobody else will.” How many times have we heard that line? Too many. A friend of mine said it just the other day. She’s been single for a while,Read More →
1 John 4:18 (NLT) “ Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.” Receiving the kind of love that you desire is more than justRead More →

Proverbs 5:21 (NIV) “For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths.” If we pull back all the layers of our emotional turmoil and doubt, we often find that at the root is a deep longing for more out of life. We wantRead More →
