And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” Luke 22:19 As I am sitting here, I am very aware of every hour ahead of me this coming week, aware that my body will be broken. I’m […]
Finding Light In A Dark World
The world seems so void of light these days. Another week, another shooting. Is it only me that feels weariness in my very soul? Light seems drowned by darkness. And this one? In my state, not all that near but still in a town where someone I know resides. Close enough that someone I knew […]
Gossip, Slander, Social Media, and You: A Christian Perspective
Social Media. It’s consuming our lives. Social Media gives us a window into each others lives, and a platform to speak our opinions. But Social Media has also become a curse to many. It’s in Social Media a persons entire reputation, even their lives, can be ripped to shreds in hours with nothing but tweets. […]
Why I Love the Intimate Word of God
I have lots of books. Ask anyone who knows me, I love books, I love to read, I have shelves and shelves full of books. It’s quite hard for me to turn away a book. In fact my brother just called telling me about a friend that was getting rid of several and asking if I […]
Lean In to the Light
I love spring, I love the beauty of flowers peeking out, I love the smell of fresh earth in a garden, I love the sunshine. Spring has a kind of smell to it, a kind of freshness to the air. It speaks of earth and growth and life. Makes me want to plant something! Unfortunately, […]
Genuine Praise
Yet the time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Sprit and in truth.” John 4:23-24 This verse has always spoken to me in […]
The Ever Offensive Cross
What do you think about when you think of the cross? Do you think of church? Christians? Jewelry? Does it mean anything to you? Perhaps it feels like a pretentious symbol to you, offensive in its religiosity. Maybe it is a sacred image, symbolizing peace, and hope. Maybe you think of Jesus. But what is […]
Why Would God Choose Me?
And the Lord said to Moses, “You are going to rest with your ancestors, and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake me and break the covenant I made with them.” Deuteronomy 31:16 Oh Israel. Beautiful Israel. If you’ve ever read the Old […]
Be Still
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14 The verse jumped out at me from the passage. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Really? Be still? But still is so hard! Everything about life says “try.” Try hard. Work hard to have faith. […]
Do I Know God?
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1:21 This verse. It’s hard. This verse. It lays out a truth that we’d rather skip over so very often. Because just because we think we know […]
