By the Grace of God I Am What I Am

One of the great liberating texts of Scripture in my life comes from 1 Corinthians 15:10. By the grace of God I am what I am. In spite of Paul’s horrific resume as a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent (1 Tim. 1:13), he counted himself among those who witnessed the resurrected Christ first-hand and became [...]

By tale I don’t mean fiction. Each family referenced in this post once existed or does now actually exist. These tales relate fact, some of it hard-to-swallow, down right mind blowing truth.

In fact, there are many books I wouldn’t classify as enjoyable, but have been extremely profitable. It takes time to develop this. It is necessary for many reasons, and my soul [...]

My Morning Epiphany

by Kelly Simpson on June 9, 2011

I had an epiphany this morning. I woke up later than I’d planned, exhausted from a night of ministry and fellowship. I woke up defeated already, thinking of all the things that I should have already started – laundry could be in the washer, dinner could be in the crock pot. I could have replied [...]
