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 […]
Looking at the Good News we have to share, one cannot escape the unique good news of Christianity: What was impossible for man…was made possible by God. No other world religion can make the claim that God reached down to do for us what we could not do. That God would pay what was needed […]
One of my favorite passages in Scripture (2 Chronicles 20) provides us with Perfect Vision for Troubling Times. Summing up this perfect vision, 2 Chronicles 20:20 tells us, ‘Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” I don’t know about you, […]
“Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put […]
