My heart goes out to everyone in my town of Collierville, Tennessee, following the tragic shooting that took place yesterday in our local grocery store.
I wish I could more, but I can pray and I can share the gospel. I want to do what God has equipped me to do.
Please pray for the friends and families of those who were shot as well as the shooter.
Please pray for the first responders and law enforcement officers working on the case.
Please pray for the Christians and churches in our area to be a beacon of light and hope in the darkness.
Please pray for revival all across our country and our world.
Come quickly, Lord, and in the meantime strengthen us to be about our Father’s business of sharing the good news of the gospel and making disciples.
My newest ebook is now available on Kindle. In fact, it’s FREE from September 6-8, so get yourself a copy!
Just search for Kim Endraske on Amazon. 😀 One of the blessings of an unusual name!
I’m still working on getting it in paperback form – hopefully it will be ready soon!
God transformed me from an Evangelical Atheist to Evangelical Christian when I was 21 years old. Believing that God existed was step one … truly knowing God was step two.
Have you ever wished that someone would clearly and simply explain to you what God is like?
Do you want to know the self-existent and self-sufficient, infinite and eternal, immutable and omniscient, all-wise and all-powerful, transcendent and omnipresent, good and faithful and loving and merciful and sovereign and holy God?
As a new Christian, I needed someone to help me to know God. “A Former Atheist Looks at the Attributes of God” does just that.
I am certain that the more you know God, the more you will love and trust Him.
This book is based on the notes for an online study I led with a group of international women. It includes many scripture passages in English as well as Chinese.
Each chapter includes a variety of self-reflection and discussion questions which I hope will be used for your personal study or your own small group study!
May God be glorified as we know Him more fully and accurately.
May our passion to make Him known to the ends of the earth grow as we know God more.
May the Lord Jesus shine brightly as we better know who He is and what He has done for us.
Jesus is the true light of the world (John 8:12, John 12:46). He is the source of all that is good and light.
But the Bible also says that, as His children, we are the light of the world. (Matthew 5:14-16)
It reminds me of the moon. The moon cannot make its own light. The moon reflects the light from the sun. Likewise, I shine because God lives in me and His light shines from me.
I want to be a spotlight – pointing people to Jesus, the source of the light coming from me 👉 ✝️
“Glow In The Dark” by Jason Gray
Sometimes the world feels like a mess Full of drama, full of stress And life puts a fist right in your ribs You can hide if you choose to And no one would even blame you Or you can let them see how you deal with it
That even in the darkest place His love can make you radiate
Doesn’t matter how deep, how dark the night is Keep hoping, keep on shining And they’ll see His light burning in your heart And if the road gets rough, just keep your head up Let the world see what you’re made of That His love’s alive in your deepest parts Like a flame, like a burning star you can shine right where you are He made you to glow in the dark
Don’t be ashamed of your past If you’re shattered like a piece of glass The more broke you are the more the light gets through Show your wounds and your flaws Show them why you still need the cross Let them see the work He’s doing in you
That even in the darkest place His love can make you radiate
Doesn’t matter how deep, how dark the night is Keep hoping, keep on shining And they’ll see His light burning in your heart And if the road gets rough, just keep your head up Let the world see what you’re made of That His love’s alive in your deepest parts Like a flame, like a burning star you can shine right where you are He made you to glow in the dark
Doesn’t matter how deep, how dark the night is Keep hoping, keep on shining And they’ll see His light burning in your heart And if the road gets rough, just keep your head up Let the world see what you’re made of That His love’s alive in your deepest parts Like a flame, like a burning star you can shine right where you are He made you to glow in the dark Glow in the dark
“Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, but I do not swerve from your testimonies.” Psalm 119:157 ESV
Excerpt from The Insanity of God – Nik Ripken
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:10-16 ESV
Please watch the full movie or order a copy of the DVD.
Please commit to pray daily for our brothers and sisters who are living under daily persecution, as well as those brothers and sisters who remain silent despite their freedom. God help us all.
Father, strengthen us. Grow our faith. Help us to be confirmed to the image of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to love others, to seek out the lost, to share the good news of the gospel for those who are perishing.
Let us not be ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Lord, you have not given us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
Let us be willing to share in suffering for the gospel by the power You give us, for You saved us and called us to a HOLY calling, not because of our works but because of Your own purpose and grace, which You gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began! Thank You for giving us Your grace. Thank You for giving us purpose! Thank You for your LOVE!
Do you want to know what the gospel is? Have you heard people talk about being “saved” and you don’t know what that means? Are you curious what Christianity is all about? Would you like to share your faith with others in a concise, accurate and compelling way? Tune in as a share the good news of saving faith in Jesus Christ — in just 3 minutes!
