As a visual person, I love movies that capture my attention to the point I must re-watch and experience over and over again. And that’s what happened last year when my friend, Becki, introduced me to “The Chosen.” I’ve been connected ever since. This is the mini-movie that launched the full series. It aired this […]

Lift Your Spirit
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

Psalm 100:4 The Passion Translation I love how the Passion Translation expresses this verse in Psalm 100. The gates can be considered the doorway, the hallway, […]
“You Have to Experience the Cross to Get the Crown” by Guest Writer: Nita Wilkinson
My daughter was hiding her head in my left arm. She wasn’t crying or even whimpering. But she was afraid of the needle that would relax her before her hernia surgery. So, she refused to look at it. Sounds like a normal child reaction to needles, right? Well, when you are in a foreign country, […]
