Iron Sharpens Iron

May 4, 2017 By Karen Witemeyer

I've always loved the imagery of Proverbs 27:17. Iron sharpening iron . . . Both are equal in strength, yet instead of battling to prove which is greatest by attempting to subdue the other, they come together in a gentle manner, drawing close with a common purpose of edification. When swords clash in battle, they can become nicked, dull, or even broken. But when they are drawn together in humility … [Read more...]

Movies With A Surprise Spiritual Impact

April 6, 2017 By Karen Witemeyer

I love a good movie. I'm too cheap to pay full price to see them in theaters most of the time (especially with 3 kids), but I pile new releases up in my Netflix queue as fast as the trailers release. And while it is easy to get discouraged by the increase in language, crudity, violence, and skin in movies today, that dark background makes the good ones shine all the brighter. Christian film … [Read more...]
