Hello?
“Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I’ll come right in and sit down to supper with you. Conquerors will sit alongside me at the head table, just as I, having conquered, took the place of honor at the side of my Father.…

Believe It!
“Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.” I have read Romans chapter five hundreds, if not thousands of times. This morning verse 7 stood out, glaring at me with the fact that our selectivity of scripture likely leads to a life allowing…

Boldly Brewed
We are out of synch at the Mullins house. Somehow after many years of guarding timing, we have managed to need coffee on the odd weeks when it is not on sale. Troubling! “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what…

I AM’s Kid
I found myself in a discussion with our son the other day where in the heat of the moment I said, “you are a ‘Mullins’ and we give every ounce of effort to do our best.” Fail! Since that discussion, moments of frustration and allowing myself to become angry where grace and mercy were needed,…

Do your expectations match the ability of the Giver?
“Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves.” James 1:6 MSG I must admit that I often limit a limitless God by bowing before him and meekly asking for minimal things and then weakly expecting. When preparing to eat I ask for the food to be blessed…

Would You Have Listened?
My dad became infinitely strong in my eyes, when he became most vulnerable through confession to me. “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.” 1 Corinthians 13:11 ESV I choose laughter. I…

God Don’t Make No Junk!
You are fearfully and marvelously made. How can I tell you that? Well, the Bible tells us that in Psalms. We’re also told that God has uniquely made each of us and knows us by name. The unique comment being proven by science through the recognition of DNA, that is unique to each of us. …

Be A Flame
“I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy, Down in my heart, Down in my heart, Down in my heart; I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy, Down in my heart, Down in my heart to stay” (George William Cooke, 1925) Can I boldly ask that as children of the Most High God, loved so much…

Another Day
I’ve always been an early riser. And that does not mean that I don’t sleep in. I often get up between 3:30 am and 4:00 am and read. Pray. Drink coffee. Ponder. Write. Years ago I read a life impacting statement addressed to people like me who ‘are not good sleepers.’ What does that mean? …
