When you're confused or discouraged about what's going on in your life, just pray about it--not because God doesn't know what's happening but because you and I don't perceive what's happening. Our vision is limited, and our perspectives are skewed. That's why we should pray.
Consider sharing this with someone who's going through something hard. Have a blessed day!

Even as I celebrate America--even as I'm grateful to be American--I'm reminded that I was created as an eternal being for an eternal Creator. As C.S. Lewis said, I was made for another world.

It's not Memorial Day, but Independence Day is coming. Here's a tribute to my favorite American, my dad, on the AG website; I didn't realize it was there.
Grief is a remarkable thing. It's so awful to experience, but it compels you to consider life and faith on so many levels. Grief causes despair, remorse, sadness, and sometimes regret. But it also makes you thankful for your many blessings. After you get some space from the trauma, you realize what a beautiful thing life is. You appreciate freedom, love, and compassion. You are faced with your own mortality.
Sue Schlesman minimized her grief and developed a distorted view of God as detached, but a chance click on an online video ultimately led her to learn how God was walking with her and drawing her to Him every step of the way.

We had so much fun interviewing Pastor Dave Stone. If you've seen the movie, Ordinary Angels, Pastor Dave's church played a big role in the midst of the miracle God was doing. Dave Stone has decades of pastoral experience and has led faithfully through many ups and downs. So thankful for Pastor Dave taking us on his journey with such vulnerability. He is the most real down-to-earth mega church pastor you'll ever meet. So grab a cup of coffee, tea, water or any liquid and sit down with us and Pastor Dave for a great discussion! 😁

And a church who's pastor is a disciple and not a performer will exude spiritual growth and authenticity, not hypocrisy and insecurity.
