Living the Risen Life, Patient in Affliction
When we are Living the Risen Life, stuff happens. And it’s in the stuff that we come to see whether we’re living as redeemed people or whether we’re just putting on a good act. Redeemed people are patient in affliction. In Romans 5:2-5, it reads, “And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of […]
Living the Risen Life, Joyful in Hope
On this day after the Boston Marathon bombing, I extend my prayers on behalf of the families of those are suffering loss and injury.

Look at the nightly news, what do we see? Sex, lies, and videotapes. Killers of boyfriends, girlfriends, children, strangers, family, and policemen. […]
Living the Risen Life with Brotherly Love
Brotherly love is not an easy thing to have. Especially when there are so many things capable of dividing us from one another. Even among Christians, we can be divided by politics, by socio-economic status, by race, by gender, by theological concepts, and by a myriad of other things. But, in today’s passage, we see […]
Living the Risen Life by Doing Good
When we call Jesus “Lord” there are many things we will do out of love for Him. We Live the Risen Life by Doing Good. Are you at a loss for what types of things you can do as a Christian? Over the next few days, we’ll see what the Word of God says. As […]
Living the Risen Life as a Light
When my kids were little, I pulled them out of school one day to see the Olympic torch pass through a neighboring community. It was a once in a lifetime event for us and my kids still remember it. News spread about the torch passing through and it drew a huge crowd. In the same […]
