God's Word

    As I look back over the last ten years of my life and back to that moment when I memorized Psalm 138:8 in 2003, “The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever, do not abandon the works of Your hands.” (NIV ’83) I’m reminded of one thing that remained constant throughout those years: God’s word. As I was pursuing various career paths, jobs, classes, businesses, and relationships, one thing remained the same: God, His enduring love, and the faithfulness of His word and His promises.

In the midst of all we go through and all we encounter in life, God has given us the unshakable and unchangeable truth of His word. God’s word is truth that endures forever because by His very nature, God is eternal and unchangeable. Jesus said: “Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away” (Matt 24:35, NIV) The apostle Peter quoted Isaiah:

All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;

the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord endures forever.
(1 Peter 1:24-25a, NIV)


I’m learning that saving faith, faith that can face any life circumstance that may come has specific content. That content is God’s word. There is no other content worthy of our trust. No other book has stood the test of time, been confirmed by historical facts, or has changed so many lives as the Bible. As the angel Gabriel stated to Mary when he foretold Jesus’ miraculous birth: “for no word from God will ever fail.” (Luke 1:37, NIV)

Not only did God’s word cause all things to exist (Genesis 1, Psalm 33:6, Hebrews 11:3) but God’s word is what actively sustains us in every moment. “[The Son]… sustains all things by His powerful word…” (Hebrews 1:3, NIV) and “…in Him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17b, NIV).

The capstone of all God’s word to us is the incarnation of The Word, the life of Jesus Christ on earth. Many people speculate about what God would be like if He walked among us in human form. This is exactly what He did for us when He came to earth as Jesus Christ! John testifies that “[t]he Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14, NIV)

We can stake our lives on and build our lives on God’s word. That is the purpose of the Keywi™ project: to give Christians a practical method to commit to memory, assimilate, and apply God’s word to our hearts, minds, and lives.

In order to press onward towards maturity, I know I must live a life above my changing emotions, thoughts, and circumstances. I refuse to live by what I feel, sense, or think. I choose to live by what I know. This is truly living by faith! There are specific, unchangeable truths from God’s word that I know are true always, regardless of anything I may encounter in life. I deeply desire that stability and rock-solid faith. As I press into committing to memory key spiritual truths, my faith grows stronger and I am better able to handle life’s ups and downs.


How about you? Will you endeavor to live by faith, to live by what you know from the specific content of God’s word? Or will you forever be tossed to and fro with every fear, doubt, or worry that comes your way? I urge you to make the commitment today to know, meditate, and stand on the solid ground of God’s truth.

The Keywi Goes to Costa Rica

     Years before launching the Keywi project , I traveled to Costa Rica with my church for a short-term mission trip.  I had just finished graduate school and I was anxious to be out of the classroom and immersed in an overseas adventure! Nevertheless, despite the change of scenery and long-distance location, my studious habits still traveled with me. In preparation for the trip I  made up a ring-bound set of flashcards with Bible verses in Spanish. I wanted to have some familiarity with God’s word in the Costa Rican native tongue.  All my years in Spanish classes had focused on practical things like where to find the bathroom or directions to a hospital... but if someone were to ask me about Jesus or to pray for them, I wanted to be prepared for that too!  One of the girls at the school who  helped us paint during our mission trip While on the trip, we had a blast visiting orphans, painting churches and schools, and hosting an...

April - May Prayer Letter 2014

Dear friends and family, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend.  Praise God, Jesus is risen indeed!   I just wanted to share a few updates and  prayer  requests for the  Keywi  Card project: Please  pray  for the t rade show in Atlanta, Georgia! This June 22-25,  Keywi  Cards will be exhibiting at the International Christian Retail Show in Atlanta, Georgia ( http://christianretailshow. com/ ).   Nearly every major Christian bookstore retailer and distributor will be there along with many well-know Christian authors and speakers.  A s you can imagine, preparations for this show are quite extensive and I have often felt stressed and overwhelmed over the last few weeks.   I could really use  prayer  for balance, guidance, wisdom, and time management.   There are so many things that still need to be accomplished in a short period of time.  I'm making a catalog, designing hang tags and UPC ...

Company Ownership

Ownership:   The  true owner of the Keywi™ project is Jesus Christ! It exists for His glory and for the discipling of His followers. “ …all things have been created through him and for him .” (Colossians 1:16b, NIV) “… for whom and through whom everything exists… ” (Hebrews 2:10, NIV) The endeavors of all who contribute to this project via assembly, design, printing, distribution, etc. are akin to gardeners who plant seeds and water the soil. We attribute any and all growth to God! “ So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. ” (1 Corinthians 3:7, NIV) Purpose: 1. Overarching purpose: To glorify Jesus by helping others grow in the knowledge, love, and worship of Christ, become more like Him, and increase His Kingdom! 2. Specific purpose: To provide Christians with practical, everyday ways to know and live out God’s truth at a heart level by memorizing and meditating on scripture, truth principles, and ...
