“Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10 Having to wait for Fast Food makes us angry. Amazon Prime being delayed irritates us as we wait for that package to be delivered. Feeling frustrated with the person driving the speed limit in the fast lane. Why are we so determined to do everything quickly? I doubt that many of us…

We have been in a series all summer where we have been in the Old Testament looking at the minor prophets. I want to thank you all for hanging in as we have looked at these books and how they still speak to us today. Let’s be honest, for many, simply opening a Bible can be an incredibly intimidating thing, especially if…
Like many Christ followers, I have a lot of Bibles. Most of them sit on my shelf next to all kinds of other books. However, the Bible is so much more different than those other books. Look what the Bible says: Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. John 17:17 The words that…
One of my favorite Christmas carols is Joy to the World. It is an exciting hymn and one that, right from the beginning, celebrates the coming of Jesus and calls followers of Jesus to active worship. And while I appreciate and enjoy the contemplative nature of many Christmas hymns that are slower and more meditative in nature, Joy to the World is…
“For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forevermore. Amen.” Romans 11:36 There is this tree down the street from our home that started turning beautiful shades of fall colors…back in August. I remember doing a double take when I noticed the green giving way to patches of yellow and orange, eventually culminating in…
In a culture where everybody is at each other’s throats, we need a breath of fresh air–fresh air of peace among people. And this fresh air needs to be more prevalent in Christians. All of this constant bickering isn’t getting us anywhere. This may be an election year — and tensions are high from racial issues and COVID — but that doesn’t…

However, he quickly chastises them for quickly adopting other practices and using them as an alternative to God’s grace. In this short letter, Paul reveals that living the Gospel life is…
How do you typically handle unexpected events in your life? How has worry influenced your thoughts and actions? Why do we so often allow ourselves to be consumed by worry? Worry is a matter of perspective. If anyone had a reason to worry—it was Paul as he wrote Philippians. Paul’s perspective of God: Nothing separates you from the love of God. Facing…
As almost everyone would agree, the past few months have been the most challenging of our lives. Who would have thought back last Christmas that by March we would all be “sheltering in place” to prevent contracting a deadly virus that was killing not only thousands but hundreds of thousands of people worldwide? Our entire way of life changed drastically. Who could…
Do you think we are living in unusual times? Do you sense an uncomfortable struggle in both the secular and spiritual world? If so, you are not alone. Christian leaders around the globe are wrestling in their spirit with the issues that confront us. Whether in the form of a biological, societal, or spiritual pandemic, those whom God has called to spiritual leadership are wrestling “not…
