Saying "Yes" to the World's "No"
I recently purchased a graphic Christian t-shirt with the words, “Say Yes to the World’s No” printed on the front. While I know the “gist” of what that statement entails, (such as being fully committed to Jesus, being obedient to His Word and serving Him with gladness), I believe we can delve so much deeper into the topic. The story of Lot’s wife has been on my mind so much recently. I have spent many countless hours “looking back” at a history I can not change. I believe th
Living Authentic - Refuge Connect Recap
Two weeks ago Mid-Way had its annual Refuge Connect Weekend for the students in our youth ministry. This weekend is all about getting students away from distractions and into God’s Word while being surrounded by a church family that loves them. This year the theme was "Authentic". Throughout the weekend students were invited to dive into topics under the umbrella of authenticity such as private integrity, public pressure to perform, and lifelong consistency. Although I was ho

There were many times in my life I just refused to say “no” to the enemy and the temptations he flaunted in my face. We could stop here to analyze why a saved soul from the age of fourteen did that, but let’s
My Hope and Stay
We have just concluded our Missions Conference here at Mid-Way and WHAT A WEEK! My heart is encouraged, I am stirred up to “good works,” and I pray you were, too! (Hebrews 10:24, 25) We sang a worship song during one of the services during the conference that has the phrase : “Jesus, You're my hope and stay” which made me stop and think about HOPE and STAY. When we are children of the one Living God, we know where our HOPE lies, but the concept of knowing a STAY absolutely
Pray. Give. Go... or DIsobey.
I loved when missionaries would visit my church when I was a little girl. I knew I would see slides of foreign lands, hear stories about the people in those countries, and maybe get to hear someone speak in a different language. When the offering plate was passed, I happily gave a dollar from my piggy bank, hoping that it would bless the missionary and their work for the Lord. All this fascinated me, but deep down I felt nervous when missionaries came to visit. Was God callin
