    By Carol McClain:    @carol_mcclain In 1937 King Edward VIII of England gave up his title and power and glory for love. He loved a sinner–a divorced American still married but in the process of divorce. Wallis Simpson sympathized with the Nazis. Edward loved her, so he sacrificed everything for her. For an American, this love which created a constitutional crisis in England, speaks …[ read more ]

    News alert: Christmas is Coming. This should get two different reactions from two different sets of people. I hate Christmas. (Those like me.) Yeah. It’s WONDERFUL.

    By Carol McClain:   @carol_mcclain “Two thirds of the praying we do is for that which would give us the greatest possible pleasure to receive. It is a sort of spiritual self-indulgence in which we engage and, as a consequence, is the exact opposite of self-discipline. God knows all this and keeps His children asking…And no matter …[ read more ]

    By Carol McClain:  @carol_mcclain I’m going to share the least favorite verse of everyone:  “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” Habakkuk 2:3 KJV.

    Carol McClain    @carol_mcclain     (Be the first to get the blog and my newsletter–sign up today). I got a chance to play with my littlest granddaughter last week. She loves Chuck E. Cheese in the way I love coffee, chocolate and the beach. (Um, and perhaps her Grandpa Neil). To bless her, I did what any grandma (Didi, in …[ read more ]

    • Ten Ways to be Filled with the Holy Spirit

        @carol_mcclain "Don't be drunk with wine, be filled with the Spirit!" 1 Cor.5:18 According to John Piper, how do we get drunk with wine? We drink it. Lots of it. So how do we get drunk with the Holy Spirit? Immerse yourself in God. Drink in lots of Him. Read your Scriptures. Pray. Sing Psalms and hymns and contemporary Christian music. Listen to edifying Christian stations. Avoid our entertainment that celebrates sinful behavior--alcohol, sex, foul language. Hang out with practicing, like-minded Christians. Go to church.
