Monologues



Biblical monologues built on sound doctrine can very easily warm the heart and cause application of doctrine as the listeners feel a sense of comradery with the character being portrayed. Monologues are a way to hold the mirror up not just as a flat reflection, but as an active looking glass into the moments of Bible characters’ lives that reminds listeners of themselves. These monologues are to connect women with women in the Bible and those in the church and to warm the heart to the living Word of God. Monologues bring the Word of God to three-dimensional life. Listeners can see and hear the story as if they are sitting there in the room as the story of the Bible character is told. Biblical monologues expose the listeners to seeing the Bible character as someone once living and breathing. The Bible character is no longer just a reading of a person in history, but someone they can picture now as the monologue is spoken out.
As a ministry to encourage women in their journey of faith, Luminaries Ministry uses monologue presentations as a means to present Biblical women in a creative and personable way. Through comprehensive research Luminaries Ministries has found Biblical monologues as an effective tool to help teach women about Bible characters and most importantly about the God who loves and sees each and every single person ever created. 
For love offering Luminaries Ministry will present a Biblical woman and prepare discussion questions for any size group.

Mount Sinai

Image
A year ago…it amazes me how quickly a year can fly by while still feeling like it moved as slow as molasses. Last year, I was in the middle of the Sinai Peninsula hiking up and down what is held in tradition to be the Mount Sinai. My trek up that mount was difficult, but the trek down has a story of its own. I thought more than a couple times I would not be able to complete the hike. It was a 3 mile hike each way with two and half of the miles going up being done on a camel and the other half mile being 750 stone stairs. The day before my trek up Mount Sinai I had climbed to the top of a pyramid in a squat position most of the way up and rode a camel…almost falling off said camel making me say I would not ride a camel again. Do you know how wide a camel is? Imagine horseback riding the berth of two horses when you have short legs. My legs were tired already before Mount Sinai. We had gotten up at 3:30 AM the morning of Mount Sinai to get on a plane to the Sinai Peninsula. Then

If the church is not a building...

If the church is not a building, then why are pastors and worship teams so determined to go to the church building to lead worship? Do not get me wrong, I am so excited for live streams. On Easter Sunday I had the privilege to watch 8 Easter services. I started early with a friend’s church in England and ended with a friend’s church in College Station, Texas. Of the 8 services only 2 were done within the concept of social distancing, lowering the number of people in contact, and stay at home orders- the first one and the last one I watched. Some of the churches only had three people while other churches had up to ten people at the church building.   Can a pastor or a worship team truly say they understand what the church congregation is going through when they themselves are still getting dressed and going to the building? Yes, they are doing their best in leading the church. For sure, it is strange to lead a congregation that is not even in the sanctuary. For a worship team or a

Expiration Date

My expiration date has come for my time in Richmond. I was at Lighthouse for two months under the grace of God’s providence and the openness of the hearts of the people. The Holdeman family was willing to let me come and observe them almost daily in the office to see the operation of the church. I am beyond grateful for the chance to have been in Richmond, especially at Lighthouse. God put the people of Lighthouse into my heart. There will be songs and memories associated with Lighthouse which I will cherish for a lifetime. On my last Sunday at Lighthouse I was able to participate in the bus ministry of Lighthouse Church. The bus ministry is a very large part of Lighthouse’s heart. It was amazing. God opened some doors for me to have conversations with a couple girls on the bus. As I rode the bus, I felt right at home as I was reminded of the summers of riding the bus with activities for Epworth. If I had stayed in Richmond, I would have liked to have done more bus rides.
