Is God Not Fair? Part 1: Why Me? Why Them? Why This?
I went in for an ultrasound the other day. It’s a routine exam I get every six months to check my liver for cancer. My liver is pretty compromised, stage four of four stages. My doc explained to me that the liver can sustain a great deal of damage and still function. Thankfully my liver has […]
Never to Late, Never to Far, Never Beyond God’s Arms.
Do you feel you are to far from God’s Grace? Many feel their sin is just to big, or maybe that it has just been to long, they are who they are now and that simply can’t be changed. Is it true? What are the limits to God’s Grace? There is a parable that Jesus […]
He Finished the Race – dedicated in memory of Andrew Rundle
A young man in my community passed away this morning. I didn’t really know him, though I may have met him at some point seeing as we had several friends in common and ran in some of the same circles. I’ve been following his journey through social media for a few months and now at […]
New and Old Wine and Wineskins
Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” Jesus answered […]
Testify to Grace
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Has the LORD redeemed you? Then speak out! Psalm 107:1-2a We’ve all messed up. It’s one of those universal facts of life. We’ve had moments, or even whole seasons, in life in which looking back on we can only say that […]
Becoming trapped by my own mind.
It can be surprising just who I can relate to in the Bible. Sometimes you’re reading along through all these stories and chronicles and all of a sudden something hits you. It’s not like you haven’t read the story before, but you just had never seen that side of it. The Bible is so multifaceted […]
Never Leaves you Crushed.
I’ve been reading in Jeremiah lately, and for days I felt discouraged by the doom and gloom as Jeremiah prophesied Judah’s destruction. Their sins were many, they had sacrificed their children to Baal, something that God condemns again and again as completely detestable to Him. Other prophets come in and paint pretty pictures of God’s […]
A Calling To Praise
I’m a worshiper. I’ve described myself as such for as long as I can remember. I remember as a child hearing how other little girls would picture themselves sitting in God’s lap, but I never did, I always pictured myself dancing at His feet. So, this, is how I’ve always identified myself, this was, and […]
The Honor in Giving out of Poverty
My thoughts this morning turned towards the concepts of tithing, and giving to the poor. It can be a difficult subject matter because many people can feel like the “church” or other organization is “shaming” you into giving. But what if you don’t have the finances to really give much? My mind went to the […]
