What have you been listening to lately? The clatter of busyness? The opinions of others? The racket of social media? The roar of the enemy? You have to agree with me that we are surrounded by noise. Loud noise! And when we focus on all the worldly commotion, we often...

Last night I listened to a Focus on the Family broadcast. The man interviewed at one time was a terrorist until he became a born again believer twenty years ago. His story was gripping! He grew up Muslim and discussed his former religion. Among many things, he said...

Why do some people get healed of cancer and others lose the battle? Why do some peoples’ prayers get answered quickly and we’re still praying for our answer? Why do some find a way out of the desert and we’re still wandering in it? Why have some...

Okay, here goes… We all have a human nature and sometimes it gets the best of us. It happened to me the other day. It really did! I’ll be transparent because I’m thinking that someone out there needs to hear this message. I’m not an authority...

When you look at others, do you see their faults or their strong points? Do you focus on their heart or the things you don’t like? Here’s what I see. I’ve observed a lot of judgment going on. Now please hear me because this is a topic not discussed...

Down through the centuries, Thomas (one of Jesus’ disciples) has been referred to as Doubting Thomas. I’m not sure I would like that name. I’d much prefer Trusting Sheryl. Or Believing Sheryl. Let’s briefly take a look at this...

Sometimes it seems as though God has forgotten us. We’ve prayed! We’ve sought! We’ve waited! And yet, why hasn’t God shown up and handled the situation? Trust me! I know! I’ve been praying for a loved one for a long time. It seems like an...

Nothing good comes from broken relationships. They hurt. And sometimes the wounds are so deep that we think we’ll never recover. Or that the relationship is beyond repair. You know what I mean, don’t you? You may be facing a broken relationship right now....

There is no doubt that today’s believers often neglect important Scriptural principles. Jesus said that “[we] are His friends if we do what He commands” (John 15:14). I want to be called His friend. How about you? Then it’s important we strive...

I believe that you, like me, want to flourish—to prosper—in your Christian life. You want to run God’s race with the loud roar of a fierce lion. The Apostle Paul spent considerable time praying for the believers. In fact, some of his prayers are recorded in...
