Praying for Heaven’s Guidance in a Crucial Election
As we approach November 5th, our nation is flooded with messages from political parties, each vying for leadership. They present their cases as to why they believe they should lead the country as the next President of the United States. However, as believers, our focus should be different. What we need to ask is not…

The Word of God is very clear in its instruction to us regarding prayer for those in authority. I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all…

I recently was drawn to a book I read many years ago. It has been a time of rediscovering truths I have walked in, yet with a fresh realization of going to a new level of these same truths. Perhaps you are in a similar place of hunger for more and moving deeper with what…

Because of the times that we live in, I am often asked what Aglow’s stance is in the midst of what looks like the redefining of society. To know where we stand, you can read our Core Values. Our stance will always align with Biblical values. Those values are fixed and cannot be redefined. Our…

Beware of the thing of which you say – “Oh, that does not matter much.” The fact that it does not matter much to you may mean that it matters a very great deal to God. Nothing is a light matter with a child of God. Nothing in our lives is mere detail. God is in the…
