Singleness of Heart
Take a closer look at the photo above. Do you see the haziness? I wondered, “Do they have a smoke machine here at Pursuit?” No. They do not. That cloud that you see is supernatural. It is the cloud of God’s glory.

Ready to Celebrate by Wendy Thayer
Zechariah and Elizabeth were well-loved and esteemed by their community. They were righteous and observant of God’s commands, yet they had grown old and remained childless. Zechariah had no sons to . . .
A Life Worth Living
Unrestrained lust and self-gratification will not satisfy. Neither will wealth or success (Ecc. 2:1-11). King Solomon could confidently state these things because he had more women (700 wives, 300 concubines) and more wealth than anyone else – ever. So, he should know.

A Cog in the Kingdom
A woman called our prayer ministry about a broken relationship with her ex-husband. She had to deal with him to see her kids, but their interactions were stressful and draining due to the strife.

2020 Reflections
