Stand Watch

Stand Watch “I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected” (Habakkuk 2:1, NKJV). Throughout history, the job of a watchman was essential. An approaching foe would leave residents of an ancient city little time to flee or prepare for battle if their advance went undetected.

Empty? Weary? Tired?

If you find yourself short on time but with a desire to spend time with God, NEWIM has the answer. Make Space for God is a half day guided retreat led by Marty Russell.

To me this was confirmation from God! Over the years we’ve averaged between 15 and 20 women. Some have continued from the start

Not What We Want to Hear

The speaker began with two questions: “What do you really want from God? What does your heart need from Jesus today?” Obviously, the goal was to recognize our “felt needs” and reassure us that God cares about us. While this theological premise is true, unfortunately it also has some baggage. It’s been said a speaker (or writer) has approximately 30 seconds to hook their audience by appealing to a felt need. We live in an increasingly self-absorbed culture that focuses o
