Growth in the Troughs of Life
This post has been floating around in my head for almost two weeks now, and I had fully intended to post it here at Broken Believers last weekend, but just didn’t get it done. In retrospect, learning of the great trough our dear brother Bryan is going through, I realize that either I should have [...]
The Lord Is Our Shepherd
This is what is called a “found poem,” which means that every line of the poem was found in some other writing. In this case, all of the lines of this poem are found in the Bible, from the Old Testament prophets, the words of Jesus, and all the way through Revelation. The lines of [...]

Afflictions That Heal Us
Today I especially wanted to share a message the David Wilkerson shared on his blog a few years ago. It is probably one of the better messages I’ve read in quite awhile on the issue of pain and affliction in a believer’s life. I hope this helps! “Curse the scalpel if you must; but kiss [...]
The Pruning Knife
“He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.” John 15:2, NLT It takes a sharp eye and a sharper knife to do the Father’s work of cutting. He slices to the quick, and all that is not useful [...]
