don't believe that God was behind this attack, I don't believe it was His judgement, and I don't believe that He is rejoicing over the lives lost, and I don't believe these pastors and ministers are speaking from the heart of God. I DO know that God loves you and that He is actively pursuing you with His love, mercy, and kindness. I DO know that those who are close to the heart of God are pursuing you with unconditional love, the message of the Gospel, and the hope that we have in Christ Jesus.
How to avoid burn out in ministry! A good read for ministers and congregants!
"I began to realize something, those people we are so quick to hate and ready to condemn to an eternity in hell, those very same people, a vast majority of them, have NEVER HEARD the name of Christ, let alone the Gospel. ...people are refusing to GO to the uttermost parts of the earth (Acts 1:8) and refusing to GO where His name is not known (Romans 15:20-21, Isaiah 52:15). And ultimately, people are refusing to live the life of LOVE we are called to live! John 3:16 clearly tells us that God so loved the WORLD that He gave His only son." - Jessica Cappel

I'm a staunch conservative, believe in the strict interpretation of the constitution and preserving our God-give liberties in this nation. But.... Guess what? I love the … Continue reading Food for Thought – 09.18.2015
"The Girl you just called fat? She is overdosing on diet pills. The Girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on just hoping people will like her. That man with the ugly scars? He fought for our country. The boy you just laughed at? He's already being abused at home. This world … Continue reading Think, Before you Speak or Act
My heart breaks to see my nation, once a beacon of light to the world.... A nation that sent out missionaries and aid to the uttermost parts of the world..... My nation, has become a dark, godless mission field. We NEED God in America again! (Like the old carman song.) And, we need churches that … Continue reading Food for Thought – 08.4.2015
We must CRAVE His presence and He will RESTORE our Land, our Nation! The promise is there, it's time we took hold of it! CHURCH ARISE from your slumber! "If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, CRAVE, and require of necessity My face and turn from their … Continue reading Food for Thought – 06.26.2015
So many of us get so focused on our own lives that we fail to see the person right beside us that is walking in darkness
When did a shift in the world's culture dictate a shift away from the foundation of the Word? #foodforthought — Jessica TaylorCappel (@SOZOgurl) June 9, 2015 "Your word, LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens." - Psalm 119:89 "Long ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever." - … Continue reading Food for Thought – 06.09.2015
In all our efforts to be more palatable to the world and the lost, to “undo” the stereotype the world has of christians being “judgmental, holy-rollers” we have lost something important, we’ve lost what it means to BE a christian.
