Following her mother’s death, when she was three, her father placed her in the cloister of Marienthron. She was there until she was 18. Soon, she began to feel like a prisoner and when Luther’s Reformation preaching found… Read More Katarina von Bora

Abi’s Look at Life

“I’ve been thinking about life a lot lately,” Abi said to Mats. “What exactly about life have you been thinking about?” “How it’s like terrible traffic and peaceful pathways.” “Huh?” “You know, life’s ups and downs.

Jesus is Willing

I see God’s love manifested through Jesus’ healing of the leper. Leprosy was a terrible disease.  It disfigured people and made them outcasts in their communities. A person with leprosy had to tear his clothes and put a covering upon his upper lip and cry, “unclean, unclean.” They were rejected and avoided.  No one wanted… Read More Jesus is Willing

“I read a story recently about a man who when caught claimed that the devil made him do it. Instead of admitting that he was guilty and taking responsibility for his crime, he blames it on an imaginary, fictional character.” “The devil isn’t an imaginary, fictional character. He’s real.” “Says who?” “Says the Bible.” “Men… Read More Imaginary? Illusions?

Patience

But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing – James 1:4 I was looking over some notes I had taken on one of Dr. Charles Stanley’s sermons on patience.  This sermon was preached at the time when God was working with me to help me to be… Read More Patience
