Life and Death

I don’t know if you have noticed, as I have, how many deaths we’ve experienced here at Three Point in the last few months. Some are deaths of our members and some are the deaths of our family members or friends. I have used up my box of sympathy cards and need to purchase another. I don’t know if the cards have…

Dry Seasons and Thankfulness

O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. Psalm 30:3 If you’re like me, there are times when we are spiritually hot. We have a hunger to read His word. We have a spring in our step as we face each day and the things the…

Going Big

As I’m writing this, Margie is busy packing for our trip to Salt Lake City (notice how I got out of the packing…). We are meeting all of our children and grandchildren there to spend a few days skiing, snowmobiling, and family time. I was reminded by Margie (and many, many others), that whenever I get involved in an activity, I usually…

The Church that Jesus Built

We just finished a series on The Church that Jesus Built. We looked at the differences in the mindset of the modern church in light of what Jesus said the church should be. My prayer is that we grew as the body of Christ during this study. I believe the way we view the Church will determine what we get from the…

2020 Vision

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about the New Year! So, I have a question for you. How’s your vision? I know we all wish we could answer that it’s 20/20, however, many of us need glasses or contacts to get us to that point. Well, this year is 2020! I know it’s not quite the same as physical vision,…

The Greatest Gift

Wearily she sat upon the donkey, Would this journey never end? Many questions filled her mind As they headed to the town of Bethlehem Ever since the angel’s visit, Her life had been a tangled mess. Whispers challenging her honor, Brought confusion and hurtful stress. But the ones who really mattered Believed the heavenly angel’s words, Now her time was growing closer,…

It’s Christmas! … Almost

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… For me, Christmas is one of the best times of the year.  I love getting together with family and eating, and swapping gifts and eating, and driving around at night looking at lights and eating… well, you get the idea. We all have things that we do this time of year but if you’re…

Hope, Joy, and Love

This week in our advent devotionals we are talking about hope and joy. As I was praying this morning, I thought about how God is in the business of unexpected victories. When it looks like everything is completely hopeless and out of control, those are the moments God gets to show us who he really is. After Malachi (the last book in…

A Birthday Present For Jesus

During the holidays with advertisements for presents, toys, food, and everything else under the sun, if we aren’t careful we’ll miss the very heart of Christmas. I remember the first Christmas my family and I spent at the seminary in New Orleans. We met a wonderful couple named Dave and Darlene Gore. They really made an impression on me, especially Darlene. Every…

What? Me Worry?

And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Matthew 6:27 Oh, no! Something’s coming. What now?? Doesn’t it always feel like something is causing us worry and concern? Maybe it’s financial or work-related or health-related or something bad or the 3point website is messed up again! And so, we become anxious and our…
