In our activity-addicted world, many proudly wear busyness as a badge. While feeling good we’re being productive, it can also become all too easy to go through the day so busy that we’re oblivious to those around us with needs. Jesus warned us of this in a parable in Luke 10:25-37. After quoting the great commandment from the law, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself,” a lawyer, wanting to justify himself, asked Jesus, “And who is my…

Do you long for a deeper richer
experience of God
and your Christian faith?
Many of us are tired of living a shallow, superficial faith, marked only by rare occurrences of hearing God’s voice. We long for a closer, more intimate walking-talking relationship with Him. We desire to be transformed by God’s power and love—and to hold His peace in our hearts, no matter the circumstance.
These themes of spiritual formation—of living in His presence—are at the heart of Cheryl Elton's writing. May you find inspiration, encouragement, and renewed hope in these pages.

The 5 a.m. Club – Seeking God Early
People around the globe are taking to social media, flaunting their latest badge of distinction—membership in The 5 a.m. Club. It’s inspired by a challenge from best-selling author and motivational speaker Robin Sharma to wake up at 5 a.m. for 66 days to develop habits for greater productivity. “Join The 5 a.m Club. Your most valuable hours are 5 a.m. – 8 a.m. They have the least interruptions,” he says. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, and dozens of other successful leaders past and present are known for using this special time of day to exercise, plan, meditate,…
Engraved On His Palms
Do you ever feel like God’s love is far from you? Wonder if He has forgotten, even abandoned you? If so, you’re not alone. In Psalm 42, David laments his sadness and discouragement, crying out to God, his rock, “Why have you forgotten me?” Throughout this beautiful Psalm we observe the struggle as David acknowledges God’s goodness and love toward him, yet feels far from it. Isaiah 49 holds one of the most beautiful expressions of God’s everlasting love in all of Scripture—that we are indelibly etched on the palms of His hands. In verse 14 ancient Zion (Jesusalem) cries…
Book Review: Break Out: A Criminal’s Journey to Eternal Freedom
Last week, while browsing books at the Montrose Christian Writers Conference, I discovered Break Out—a short easy read that did not disappoint. It’s the incredible story of Jed Lindstrom, who left behind the unfulfilling life of drugs and crime to ultimately become a bold evangelist. Today, as Founder and Director of Lets Go Ministry, he goes into what he calls “no go” places—places others do not want to go—to reach those mired in the distress of drug and alcohol addiction with the gospel of Christ. In his simple conversational style Jed shares his story, and how by age 13 he…
How to Find Contentment in Any Circumstance
Thursday evening the phone rang. “Is R. there?” “No,” I chuckled, “he’s in prison.” “What?” a startled voice replied. I always have fun with these calls—‘cause it’s true. On various Thursday nights my husband R. goes to a nearby correctional facility to teach a non-denominational Bible study. Later that evening R. excitedly told me of the wonderful fellowship the guys had that night, and how D.—an inmate with great musical talent—played guitar and led some vibrant singing. As the men’s voices rose in glorious praise to God, R. glanced out the open window to the courtyard below and caught two…
