Peace 107:7

Uplifting & Encouraging

Forgiveness

by

Peace family, what does “forgiveness,” mean to you? Among other things, lately, God has been highlighting opportunities in my life to forgive, and forgiveness is something that I spend a lot of time thinking about. What do we owe to the people who hurt us? What if they continue to hurt us, or deny that they […]

Modern Day Miracles: A Heart for God

by

In early 2014, Jeanne Krumrey was finding herself constantly tired. Many of the things she did on a regular basis, like house and yard work, she wasn’t able to finish without having to stop and rest. These everyday activities just wore her out, and she chalked it up to “getting older.” Often she “felt bad,” […]

Valuing God’s Word

by

  Peace family, what is the Bible really worth to you? I’ve been reconsidering that this week. I have some friends from another country who will be staying with me later this month, and I doubt that they’ve ever seen a Bible in their own language. I’ve been preparing the guest bedroom for them, decorating it with their tastes in mind […]

Restorer of Life

by

Peace family, what areas of your life need restoration? This is just a short reminder that God is the ultimate restorer! I’ve been reading a devotional book called Where God Finds You, by Anita Higman, and today’s lesson covered the story of Tabitha (also known as Dorcas). Acts 9:36-42 tells us that Tabitha was always doing good […]

Psalm 69:33-34

by

“The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people. Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them”               —Psalm 69:33-34 (NIV)

Justice, Mercy, and Moving Into New Neighborhoods

by

I’ve read hundreds of books in my lifetime. None have impacted the direction of my life like the one I read in May 2009. It was called “Jantsen’s Gift,” and it told the story of children in Ghana, Africa, who worked all day on fishing boats. As soon as I read the book, I was […]

Your Pain Has a Purpose

by

Peace family, where are you hurting in your life? My guess is that that’s where God is wanting to do some of his most powerful work right now, even if you don’t feel like it. You are learning, and God is using that experience not only to refine you into an even more beautiful soul and draw […]

Be Still And Know

by

Peace family, this week, I’ve been reminded to be still and know that God is God. I don’t always do a very good job of slowing down and giving God the opportunity to encourage me through the quietness. The last several weeks not only have been extremely busy, both at work and at home, but […]

We Are Flying Fish

by

Peace family, one of my favorite animals is the flying fish. In an ocean full of predators, it goes beyond natural convention by leaping up out of the water that all fish inhabit and flying to safety for as far as 200 meters (about 656 feet, which is longer than two football fields.) It takes an […]

Psalm 104:33

by

“I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.”          —Psalm 104:33 (NIV)

Kindness Challenge

by

Peace family, has anything exciting happened to you lately? If not, are you ready to make things more exciting? I’ve been extremely excited this week. One of my favorite things about being alive is the feeling of having something good to look forward to, and I usually get the most excited when I discover ways to surprise […]

Peace Be With You

by

Peace family, do you ever feel burnt out by the amount of garbage in the world? Some days, life is just exhausting! I look around at the violence both abroad and in America, at the declarations that evil things are good and good things are evil, at self-righteousness, at injustice, and at the world rushing […]
