Cling to hope in the Good News that God gives us. One attribute of God that I find most encouraging is that God is omnipresent. He’s always there. Doesn’t always feel like it, but He is. Scripture says, “Psalm 139:1 You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. 2 You know when I sit […]

I resist the tin foil hat. I really do mainly because there are certain “tin foil things” that make me go “Hmmmm…” I look at the world and agree with a few radio hosts who say, “There are no conspiracies, but there are also no coincidences.” Just because all things line up a certain way […]

Let’s see some more good news in our Good News series to combat the bad news streaming from all forms of media 24/7. Perhaps you need it like I do. My heart has felt heavy, water-logged with constant saturation of bad news. My heart is breaking for this world and for the good people in […]

Are you finding the world a confusing place right now? Chaotic? Disorderly? A train wreck? A dumpster fire? I can think of a lot of images to describe our world at present, but idyllic, peaceful, tranquil, decent, orderly, righteous, and Edenic are not among them. We are at war in the spiritual realm. We are […]

“You want me to do WHAT???” I’ve been there. I’ve stared at myself in the mirror, but arguing with God, saying “Wait a minute. I did that already. Remember the firestorm I walked through just a little while ago? I did that because You told me to. Now You want me to do it … […]

I hear in your voices your genuine concern for your loved ones. A concern that is quite different than one rooted in fear. It is one rooted in genuine love for them. I sense this is a burden many Christians carry. It has taken me a long time to find words to put to this. […]

That God watches over us is good news! That He never falls asleep on the job is good news, too! I, for one, am glad that God doesn’t just need a CPAP machine or a My Pillow in order to finally get needed sleep. I, for one, am rather jealous that He can keep going […]

Who does God forsake? None of His own, that’s for sure. God may forsake peoples and nations which have turned against Him. Sinners and rebels and those who forsake Him, who deny Him, who rebel against Him. They sow to the wind and reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7). Psalm 94:1 The LORD is a God […]

No Condemnation. No Condemnation. Not a bit. Not a smidgen. Not 99.9% Condemnation-Free. No Condemnation. None. Zero. Zip. In Christ. That’s good news worth sharing. How many of us have an inner negative voice reminding us of our failures, stripping us of our courage and reinforcing what we can’t do and why we can’t do […]

Coming up short isn’t my favorite pastime. Finding out that I’m not good enough is either a major motivator or total downer. Scripture doesn’t mince words about our shortcomings. As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All […]
