Betrayed Or Blessed?Podcast

Saturday, February 3, 2024 MaryLou Tompkins

A Turkey Or An Eagle In A Storm?Podcast

Tuesday, January 31, 2023 MaryLou Tompkins

Awareness Alert!Podcast

Hearing God And Heeding Signal LightsPodcast

Thursday, February 13, 2020 MaryLou Tompkins

How do we know what we ought to do? Where do our direction and strength come from? A friend once wrote me about how God helps her to know what she ought to do. She experiences His nudging or encouraging when she is making decisions, just … Read more

Alone, Yet Not Alone!Podcast

Saturday, November 16, 2019 MaryLou Tompkins

Today's Verse

1 John 2:15-16 – Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world — the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does — comes not from the Father but from the world. (NIV)5

Today's Daily Manna

Luke 18:27 – Jesus answered, "What is humanly impossible is possible for God." (GNT)
