Changing One Heart for Many – Week 9
Just joining us? Go here to catch up on the movement!I had no idea...did you? Norma McCorvey - "Jane Roe" - a woman whose personal quest for a legal abortion set into motion the deaths of over 50 million U.S. babies, had an encounter with God that changed her heart forever. She's now able to use her incredible history and testimony to speak for LIFE. Why? Because she's been forgiven, changed...healed.Of the women reading this post, one out of every three has had an abortion. As I stated from the very first post of this prayer campaign, I hold your heart in the highest esteem - there is no condemnation toward you in this place. I think this revelation about Ms. McCorvey is a perfect...
Texas in My Soul
The winds of change have been blowing at a Category 5 level over here. I'm using hurricane lingo while I can, because in a scant few weeks I won't be able to with the same "authority" as a Floridian.

Won't you join me?"Every one of us who embraces the glory of God as our purpose will end up doing great things precisely because we do God-things. His holy hand resting on the least act renders the ordinary extraordinary. Spooning soup into the mouth of the weak or manning the nursery so a tired mom can go to church are acts of high worship when offered in the name of Christ. He beholds the sight like a breathtaking work of art, tilting His...
Changing One Heart for Many – Week 8
Aren't you taken aback sometimes when a child really "gets" something? A complex subject is thrown at them and in spite of their relative lack of life experience they wrap their young minds around it and GET it. As adults, we water controversial "black and white" subjects down to make them more palatable, and end up with a muddy mess that no one can seem to see clearly anymore. But not kids. Most kids will call a spade, a spade.Take this 12 year old girl, for instance:No wonder Jesus told us to get back to a child-like way of thinking.SCRIPTURE FOCUS:"...Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return...
