When you think of a husband deployed into combat, a spouse called to serve God and people, long seasons of loneliness and solo parenting, a Permanent Change of Station, starting new relationships all over again, and a life that seems constantly on the move and perhaps out of control, chances are you immediately think of the life of a military wife. But there’s another life whose journey has many parallels to these things—and that’s the biblical character of Sarah. Join author and longtime military wife Beth Runkle as she dives into the story of Sarah, offering thirty hope-filled...

Depending on God amid the noise, confusion, and troubles around you lands on a solid ground in Him and there is nothing in this world that can defeat you or take away your peace. To affirm God’s goodness amidst difficult times is as much an act of worship as it is a sign of integrity. Those who have trusted in Christ Jesus for salvation were never meant to live defeated, despairing, boxed-in, unhappy lives. In Romans 5:17, Paul writes that the “abundance of grace” we have received and receive every day, along with the gift of righteousness, enables us to “reign...

As women of welcome, we all know how doing hospitality can take a lot of time, effort, money – even courage!

I’ve felt totally inadequate for inviting people to my home. I wasn’t raised in a wealthy family but we did live in a wealthy neighborhood so it was easy to compare myself with others who had more money, more flair and seemingly, more confidence. We didn’t do cocktail parties...

The Ultimate Host called you and me before we were born. He said: “Come on in, you are welcome here. I made you to know Me. You can know me best at My table.” His call is personal. He loved us and He called us. You may have answered. But is that all? Not even close. Because God welcomed us, we must pass along that welcome to others. Why invite? Because the more we do, the more we are like God. We all have reasons why we don't invite, but understanding God's welcoming heart gives us the courage and motivation to get beyond those reasons. Come to My Table offers four simple...
