In the 12th book of Acts, we read the account of Peter’s imprisonment by Herod for his faith. He was shackled between two guards awaiting trial and a likely fate of execution. Suddenly, an Angel of the Lord woke Peter and miraculously set him free! In amazement, Peter thought he was having a vision. We read that “Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish peop

Acción de gracias y Navidad son fiestas que nos invitan a la gratitud y a la esperanza. El niño de Belén vino a traer luz a este mundo, a darnos un nuevo amanecer en el que podamos mirar el futuro con esperanza. El niño indefenso de Belén es el mismo Señor que nos ofrece la victoria en Apocalipsis, y con ella innumerables promesas que necesitamos recordar al despedir el año que está desvaneciéndose: I. Apocalipsis 2:7. “Al que venciere, le daré a comer del árbol de la vida, e

Before you know it, Christmas will be here! Kelli has been like a squirrel, stashing things away in a big paper bag that no one is supposed to peek in. It's sounding like we will have a full house for Christmas, including little Hank, whom I have written about previously. Bolt thinks Hank is his long-lost twin. I heard the neighbor's dogs tonight, all barking. I think they must be forming a choir. ‘Tis the season! Aside from the gifts and decorations, the yummy food, and t

I’m writing this between the 2022 midterm elections, the Thanksgiving holiday, and the once-iconic Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that hosted throngs of mission-focused shoppers charging into their favorite stores. When this edition of the Winds of Praise Post is published, these events will have passed, with the Christmas and New Year holidays lying just ahead. This is a unique point in time, Christian. It’s a time between major celebrations and life events. It is

We are celebrating a new era of POST! This is now our second “magazine.” You might know the story, we have been printing a “newspaper” for many years. But, out with the old, in with the new! I might add that the comments have all been favorable! Folks seem to like the new format, and I always defer the praise to editor Kelli and I know that she is happy to defer the praise to the LORD! It reminds me of many years ago, when we were in the downtown area, we moved our studio loc

So what is a repentant heart? How do you know that you have picked up your cross and denied the lusts that were easily entertained? Why then is it imperative to put God first before…(you fill in the blank)? Remember: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable, unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1 KJV). Since we are Christ’s, we seek him first (Matthew 6:33), then we crucify th

I have to say that I was influenced by Ernie Moquin talking about "for a time such as this" on the prayer show Tuesday morning. (If you aren't familiar with the program, it's on Tuesdays and Fridays, 7 a.m., 98.7 FM, or online windsofpraise.com). Ernie was saying that it's TIME to not hold back and share the Gospel. So much is changing. No one knows but God when the end will take place, but things are looking pretty dicey. Are you making the right choices these days? Not
