Lord, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them? Psalms 144:5 As I found myself in Psalms today 144:5 leaped out at me. I couldn’t help but to appreciate these humble words written by David. Our finite lives may be something easy to comprehend as working classContinue reading “Who Are We To Love?”

Good Friday
On the surface it is hard to call the events of the day good at all. I try to imagine what it would have been like to be a disciple of Jesus on this day almost 2000 years ago. What emotions would have been flowing through the mind of someone who met Jesus in theContinue reading “Good Friday”
A God Sense of Humor
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” Matthew 7:3 (NIV) Let’s face it. Jesus wouldn’t have been a very interesting person to follow if he didn’t throw a little humor around every now and then. I think thatContinue reading “A God Sense of Humor”
Strong and Courageous
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your god will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 The beginning of Joshua’s journey as the brand new leader of the Israelite people has been fascinating and encouraging to me lately. For theContinue reading “Strong and Courageous”
Change in Connection
Today I listened to my pastor talk about belonging, and how it is a vital part of our well being.

In The Moment
“I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. John 16:20 There is something to be said about how much time Jesus invested preparing His disciples for what wasContinue reading “In The Moment”
God Knows
Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! Psalms 139:23-24 There was a time in my life when the thought of this Psalm would have sent shivers down my spine. Search me?Continue reading “God Knows”
How 5000 becomes 12
“you can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 NIV Let’s be honest withContinue reading “How 5000 becomes 12”
Walk on Water
But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here.” Matthew 14:27 There comes a time in all of our spiritual walks where we begin to feel like Peter did while on his walk with Jesus. We get so pumped up with our faith that we can’t helpContinue reading “Walk on Water”
