You have an image on the inside of you—an image of who you are and what you can do. That image is also a ceiling, or limit, on what God can do in your life. It may shock you to learn that the limits you have placed on Him are directly proportional to how you see yourself. If you’re not prospering, if you’re not receiving healing, if your relationships are not working, the first thing you need to do is change how you imagine yourself on the inside. Andrew’s latest teaching Don’t Limit God: 20 Years Later will help! In

06/21/24 Recently I downloaded an app that allowed me to listen to a devotional radio program I hadn’t heard since I was a teenager. I was thrilled to once again hear the familiar voice and head to sleep with beautiful thoughts and music filling my mind and heart. The first program I listened to ended with the story of a father and child who had lost their wife and mother, and were grieving together but drawing closer to God in the darkness. It hit home, as my mother died when I was a boy. The story was followed by a musical arrangement

05/23/24 George Barna, a leading expert in church and worldview trends, has weighed in on some of the biggest issues facing the Church — including the steady decrease in a biblical worldview and dwindling concern for spiritual formation — at a time of “Christian invisibility in our culture.” In an interview with The Christian Post, the 69-year-old founder of The Barna Group, a market research firm specializing in studying Americans’ religious beliefs and behaviors that he sold in 2009, said that over the last few decades, he’s seen certain negative trends increasingly permeate Western Christianity. “People have become

05/18/24 Does God still speak to people today? Let’s be honest, when someone says that God has been talking to them, we get a little suspicious, sometimes even a little concerned. So, does really God talk to us? Does God Almighty actually have a master plan for our lives? And if so, how do we discover it? And how can we learn to recognize God’s voice? We all need direction in life. But we tend to have inaccurate views about the will of God. We think finding God’s will for us is really hard and that

05/15/24 Have you ever heard a disembodied voice speak aloud outside your head? Not another person, but a voice?

In a frenzy over the weekend, I went online and ordered each of the girls a special edition Barbie. Holiday Barbie 2009 for Evangeline, and the more sophisticated Generation of Dreams Barbie for Louisiana. With a click of the mouse it was done. The girls would love them! Maybe I could get my Christmas shopping done after all! The box arrived at my doorstep when I came in from work early the next week. It was a bigger box than I expected. I tore into it before going upstairs. Inside were the two Barbies I wanted—hurray!—and a second Generations

05/13/24 Valentine’s Day was around the corner. For my daughter, Becky Hallstrom, that meant a party for the kindergarten class she taught. “They’re really looking forward to it,” she told me over the phone one evening. “Especially the valentines exchange. The kids are filling their cards out all by themselves.” “That’s a lot of writing,” I said. “Yep. One card for every student in the class. Guaranteed.” Becky’s words might have sounded casual, but she knew they were important for me to hear. She knew the story all too well. The story of another

“Ready to fly, girl?” I said, stroking the Arabian mare’s mane. It was nighttime–pitch black. I’d just snuck out of the girls’ dorm at my boarding school. If I got caught I’d be in deep trouble. But sometimes a secret midnight ride on a horse, Sakie, pastured close to the school was the only way to clear my head. At sixteen there was so much I couldn’t control. I felt somewhere in the middle of being an adult and a kid. Everyday life could seem downright scary. My new boyfriend had broken up with me for another

Birds of a feather, that was my dad and me. We loved birds, all kinds of birds, and traded notes on our sightings. He and Mom had even more feeders in their yard than I did. Dad used to make much of the fact that he’d never seen evening grosbeaks at my feeders. Large birds, easy to spot–the male with his bright yellow and black feathers, the less colorful female never far from his side. Evening grosbeaks were unpredictable migrants, but every winter flocks of them devoured the sunflower seeds in Dad’s feeders just miles from where I

Dad lived in a mental hospital 50 miles away. Mom worked long hours and didn’t make enough for someone to babysit me. I was on my own. Mom always said God was with me, but I sure couldn’t feel

Every year my family gathered for a week at our summer place in northern Michigan. Kids, grandkids, great-grandkids all descended on my lake house. Normally I loved gathering at the house for a week of sun, swimming, and time with my family. But this year was different. My beloved husband, Bill, had died less than a year before, after a long battle with brain tumors, and I couldn’t imagine being up at the lake without him. He’d loved that special place every bit as much as I had, all 62 years of our marriage. But my kids kept begging
