You Must Be Out of Your Mind

Posted on February 8, 2014 by Becky Toews

Acts 12:14-15 “When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, ‘Peter is at the door!’ ‘You’re out of your mind,’ they told her.” Whether praising, repenting or petitioning, I love communing with God. But a recent study of Acts 12 prompted me Continue Reading…

Seeing Is Not Believing

Posted on December 15, 2013 by Becky Toews

John 20:29 “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Seeing is believing. Seems like a harmless expression. An idiom that describes the necessity of physical, concrete evidence in order to accept something as real. It’s how most people live the Continue Reading…

Assumptions

Posted on July 21, 2013 by Becky Toews

Numbers 14:3 “Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?”    Oh my, I’m 30 years-old and not married. God must want me to be a Continue Reading…

Don’t Lose Heart

Posted on February 10, 2013 by Becky Toews

  2 Corinthians 4:16 “Therefore we do not lose heart….” Stress so heavy it feels as if life itself is being squeezed out. Thoughts swimming in a sea of uncertainty. Feelings of rejection, ridicule and defeat threatening on every side. Ever feel like this? Paul certainly did. Yet he sends Continue Reading…

Where Is Your Faith?

Posted on January 20, 2013 by Becky Toews

  Luke 8:25 “ ‘Where is your faith?’ he asked his disciples….” I’m sure you’ve experienced it. You’re reading the scripture when suddenly regular print transforms into italics. Something transpires that causes you to move from simple reading to listening. The Word of God is speaking to you, muting every Continue Reading…

First Things

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Becky Toews

  I Corinthians 15:3  “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day….” First importance. At the risk of sounding redundant, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the Continue Reading…

Cheer Up!

Posted on October 7, 2012 by Becky Toews

Mark 10:49 “…Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” Bartimaeus—a blind beggar on the side of the road. His affliction had stripped him of all dignity, leaving him, according to Jewish society, only a few steps above a leper. His self-sufficiency had been replaced with total dependency on human Continue Reading…

Beyond Survival

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Becky Toews

Acts 3:6 “Then Peter said, ‘Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.’” He had been a cripple for over forty years. He depended on others to literally carry him every day to his Continue Reading…

Faith Construction, Part 2

Posted on June 10, 2012 by Becky Toews

  Mark 9:24 “Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, ‘I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!’” I believe! Help my unbelief! I wish those words—those polar opposite words—weren’t reflective of my own experience with faith. How can both be true? The footnote in my Bible says, “Since faith is never Continue Reading…

Faith Construction, Part 1

Posted on June 3, 2012 by Becky Toews

Matthew 15:28 “Then Jesus answered, ‘Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.’ And her daughter was healed from that very hour.” She came like a dog, begging Jesus for a morsel of mercy. She broke all the rules. This woman. This Gentile. But she was desperate. Her daughter Continue Reading…
