Mary or Martha? Can we be both? Are we living a life of defeat as a Christian? Some defeat? Most defeat? Could it be because we live apart from God? We have our “spiritual times” then live the rest apart from His manifest, conscious presence. Why is that? We want to be like Mary, but spend most of our time being Martha.

My heart acknowledges Your sovereignty, Your superiority. I bow…

Worship choruses can fail to express our praise to the King of the universe, whose kingdom stretches beyond the far reaches of the universe. God, who has always been and will always be, deserves so much more. But the “more” I am unable to give. I don’t have the words that are worthy of His hearing. He is worthy of…
What if everything we did was an act of worship to God from a united heart? Or is my heart divided? Just thinking today and letting it come through this keyboard… Divided heart We tend to divide our lives into secular and sacred.
