If grace is a party, there’s no doubt in my mind that MercyMe’s 2017 album, Lifer, will be chosen as the official background music for it. It’s not at all hard for me to imagine Jesus, the saints who have gone before me, and a heavenly choir of angels celebrating up a storm to this […]
Holy but Hoodwinked
Come out, Come out, Wherever You Are!
If you’ve been following my post series on MercyMe’s 2017 album, Lifer, then you already know its backstory and the message in the song, “Lifer,” which is the first track on the album. In today’s post, I will be sharing the exhilarating message in track 2, “You Found Me,” and how it speaks to me. With […]
Are You a Lifer in Christ?
I love wholesome Christian music that you can’t help but marry. Music you can dance to, walk to, work out to, clean house to, listen with your kids, grandkids, and friends to, worship God to, cry to, sing for joy to, and experience new covenant truth through. That’s why I decided to do a post series […]
Why Lifer Is MercyMe’s Best Album Ever
I am over-the-top excited about this post series on the messages in every song on MercyMe’s Lifer album! You might be wondering why I would devote an entire series to this album. After all, there are many popular ones out there. I’ll tell you why. It’s because MercyMe’s grace-saturated hearts are spilling over into their lyrics […]
How God Spoke to Me through “Chicken Little”
Did you know that God can speak through anything, even animated children’s cartoons? I continually ask the Lord to keep my eyes and ears peeled for all the ways He wants to reveal Himself to me. I don’t want to miss a thing. (I just heard Aerosmith singing in my head.) Not too long ago, […]
The Triple-Crown Kiss from Our Savior
(Since this post was published in May 2017, Justify became the thirteenth Triple-Crown winner in June 2018. Love, love, love his name!) My husband, Steven, is an avid sports fan. He loves to watch most sports, including all three Thoroughbred horse races here in the United States—the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes (also […]
I Was Totally Unprepared for This Kiss
One morning while I was spending focused time with Jesus, a strong desire rose up within me to experience His affections. I picked up Mike Bickle’s book The Pleasures of Loving God and turned to the chapter that describes the longings of the bride of Christ. The following is a paraphrase of what I read: […]
Ready or Not, Here I Come! Part 2
In last Wednesday’s post, “Ready or Not, Here I Come! Part 1,” I addressed a concern I have about well-meaning Bible teachers and authors (I used to be one of them) telling Christians what they need to be doing to get themselves ready for His return. I shared how in my search for answers I came to the […]
How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by Him!
Several years ago, a slogan for a popular candy bar communicated the message that, unless you actually tasted and swallowed the candy bar, you would never know how satisfying it was. It’s the same with Jesus’s Bridegroom love. You will never know how satisfying and intoxicating it is until you experience His exclusive love for […]
My Book Review on Peter Lord’s “Turkeys & Eagles”
In this post, I share my book review of the Christian classic Turkeys & Eagles by Peter Lord. This book reveals how many Christians have been duped into believing that, at salvation, they did not become the new creation that God declares them to be. We were born again as Eagles in Him, but if we don’t realize it, we will miss out on the enjoyment and expression of this truth in this life!
