I am 31-years-old, and grew up watching you and Kirk on TV everyday. It is awesome that you love God–so do I! Do you and your brother send your children to a Christian School? If so, why is this so important to you? I have 3 little ones of my own and I am faced [...]

The theme of this month’s CWO issue is Family. In thinking and praying about this topic, I kept coming back to the fact that for me, the word family most often means—friends. I grew up in a very small family. My parents divorced when I was quite young and Mom never remarried. We had no [...]

One of my all time favorite films is Independence Day. No matter how many times I watch it, I find myself emotionally engaged in the drama, passion and pathos of the story. This film covers such a broad spectrum of button-pushing feelings and sentiments it isn’t funny. Where else can you find a balanced mixture [...]

It is fresh morning and I wait the time of meeting. My coffee is hot and tasty; steam rises in slow coils drifting into the warm atmosphere. These are moments of expectation as I gather my Bible. I pray for God to capture my mind - He always owns my heart - and to fill it with His will for this day.
The pages are sweet on my fingertips and turning them is an eager caress as I delve into the Word. There is no pressure to hurry, to rush ahead and scan the final chapters; I know the end of the story. I can peruse, re-read, and enjoy each truth as I find it once again. When God speaks a special thought from His Word straight to my heart, I know I have been well fed.
"Thank you Father for holy words, live words, and Your words spoken through Your Son that lead me in true surrender and desire for Your eternal Lordship over my life."
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord… Jeremiah 29:11
Sweet Words for my day,
Rhea
