Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see? Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge? The Lord knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile – Psalm 94:9-11 God sees it and gets it. There are many comforting …

Fiction Friday | Romance in Christian Fiction
By Carolyn Miller I recently posted in a Facebook group a question that I’ve been pondering for a while now. Does it bother you as (presumably) a Christian reader to read about Christian characters pursuing relationships when they don’t know if the other person is a Christian or not? I recently read a contemporary novel …

DEVOTIONAL: He weeps with us.
The other day I woke up with a song in my head. I don’t often wake up with songs playing in my mind, but the song Weep With Me by Rend Collective was playing on repeat. It’s a beautiful song, one that asks questions of God whilst also praising Him for His goodness. It’s a song …
Devotional: The Expectation of Success
One of the most beneficial things a writer can do is attend a conference. These events provide novices and published authors with networking opportunities, social events, and instruction for learning skills needed to navigate the business side of writing. After attending a couple of conferences and finishing my first novel, I was encouraged to request …
DEVOTIONAL | Just, Jesus.
Have you ever found yourself lost for words? Thoughts bubble up inside your mind and around your heart, yet you can’t get the words to come out. They are stuck; deeply felt but unspoken.

DEVOTIONAL: Declare His Glory
Declare His glory to the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples. There is a verse in the book of psalms that I love; Psalm 96:3, ‘declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.’ It’s a verse that gets me thinking. It’s a privilege to know that I get to share …
DEVOTIONAL: Take God out of the box
Boxing God in. What is your view of God? When you think about God, how powerful is He in your mind? Is He sovereign? Does God seem mighty and all knowing? Or is God more human like? There have been times where I have put God into a neat little box. And the God that …
DEVOTIONS: The Faithful God
Deuteronomy 7:9 – Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. If there is one thing I have learned in life, it is that people will let you down. People will disappoint …
DEVOTIONAL: Look up, child.
Look up, child. This may sound silly, but a lot of time when I am praying alone, I tend to look upwards. I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one that does it. But it doesn’t matter if I’m indoors or outside, I find myself tilting my head back and looking heavenward as I …
