Free To Be Holy, Even As He Is Holy
By Kathi Pelton During our worship service this past Sunday, we were singing the words, “You are holy…” to the Lord. As we sang and declared these words to Him, I began to hear the Spirit of the Lord echo the words back over our congregation. As we sang, “Lord, You are holy.” He’d reply,…

It’s Time to Be Free From Condemnation!
Kathi Pelton I am always so grieved to hear how many believers are plagued by feelings of condemnation. I watched my husband wrestle with this when he was young— breaking free was the best thing that happened to him! Condemnation causes God’s sons and daughters to feel separated from Him and from his intimacy with…
