Among what God expects of His children is a non-negotiable aspect of character: holiness. This trait was introduced in the Old Testament and carried through to the New. If we follow after God, we must be holy as He is. But what is holiness? And how can we possibly imitate this aspect of God? The […]
A longer title for my life story could be “A prodigal pastor’s daughter finds her way home after thirteen years in a gay relationship.” All my family and friends were terribly shocked when I left my husband for a woman. It took me a long time to learn that what I thought was love, really […]
Imagine! Still climbing mountains at age one hundred twenty! Moses had an appointment to keep with the Lord on Mount Nebo. After forty years of wandering, the children of Israel had reached the doorstep of the Promised Land. Leadership of the people had already passed to Joshua. It must have been a bitter disappointment for […]

From Isaiah’s time until today, trying to explain the person and holiness of God has been a complex undertaking. The prophet Isaiah wrestled with explaining it. He was privileged to […]
And he [the false prophet] makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed (Revelation 13:12). God rescued Isabella* from a homosexual and destructive lifestyle. Looking back, she realized how even the music she had listened to glorified corruption. The lyrics honored what God calls […]
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding (Proverbs 9:10).
