God Encourages Our Weed Control Guy ~ by Julie Earl
There was a knock at the door. “I’m here to put fertilizer and pre-emergent on your yard,” said the young man at the door. He headed into our back yard, and I began praying for him. Lord, what do you have for this young man? You love him so very much. Please give me something…
Read MoreTerrified Friend Takes the Plunge ~ by Janice Spurgin
“I did it! I did it” read the text last weekend from my longtime friend, Janice Spurgin. “I went up to my first person!” Janice had loved reading No More No, but had told me several weeks earlier that the thought of saying yes to God’s promptings terrified her. But here she was expressing her excitement that…
Read MoreGod is Passionate About You ~ by Julie Earl
Do you remember what it was like when you first fell in love? You couldn’t take your eyes off that person, and all you could think about was how to please them and express your love in ways that would make them feel treasured. You were crazy about them and passionately in love, and it…
Read MoreUnconscious Girl Revived Because “No More No!” ~ Tiffany Medrick
An administrative assistant at King’s Trail Cowboy Church, Tiffany Medrick, had heard several of Jason Norton, the pastor’s, stories since he had read No More No and began saying yes to God’s promptings.

Romans 16:19 The day our TV stopped working twenty-two years ago was one of the most important days in our family’s history. I had asked my husband, Ron, if we could get rid of the TV because I was putting my two young children to bed at 7:00 p.m. and watching TV until 10:00 p.m. – wasting…
Read MoreDay 33 – Treat Everyone Like a Movie Star – Julie Earl
Romans 16:1-2 I just returned from a wonderful Christian conference where they worked hard to serve and bless all those who attended, but I noticed that some of the volunteers (and many of the guests themselves) treated the guest speakers with more honor and respect than everyone else. I wasn’t speaking, so I was part of “everyone…
Read MoreDay 30 – How to Please God – Julie Earl
Romans 14:17-18 “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking [rules and regulations about what you can and can’t eat and drink, etc.], but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men” (Romans 14:17-18).

Read MoreDay 29 – Disputable Matters – Julie Earl
Romans 14:1-15 “Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters” (Romans 14:1). There are numerous behaviors that are clearly harmful to ourselves, others and God that are considered sin – lying, cheating, stealing, coveting, anger, murder, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, etc. But Paul brings up the point that there are disputable matters that are not…

Romans 13:14 “Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 13:14). In my book No More No I talk about the fact that all believers are clothed in a Super Suit.
