Journey through Time

For the past several years, I’ve done some form of “reading the Bible in a year.” This started with my Grandfather making a family calendar each year that included all the birthdays and anniversaries, classic family photos, and Bible reading on each day. I loved that I could read...

Mom Life Together

From the creation of the world, God’s design has been perfect. He created everything in just the right order to sustain life. Light, separation of the waters above and below the land, vegetation, seasons, fish, birds, animals, and people. Just as He created the world in the right order,...

Living Christianity

Professing Christianity is not the same as Living Christianity. Insanity has been defined as “doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result.” By this definition, how often is Insanity also a crisis of faith, a spiritual sickness more than a mental illness? (Note: I am...

A Time to be Still

Psalm 46:10  in the Amplified Bible says, “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.” Other versions say “cease striving,” “stop fighting,” or “desist.” In context, the Psalmist is proclaiming that God is our refuge and that He is with us. There is no better place to...

Lessons from Daniel

If you “grew up in the church,” some of the events in the book of Daniel are very familiar, like the Lions’ Den and the Fiery Furnace. You may even remember how Daniel and his friends refused the king’s food or the disembodied hand writing on the wall. In...

Seek the Lord and Live

The second, “darash” (ekzeteo) is to search, investigate, inquire, or require (crave or even demand)....

The Race of Joseph

When I was in grad school, the college ministry held a talent show of sorts. A group of our guys sang “Dream Big” – the only time I’d ever heard that song until I looked it up for this email. Clearly, the lyrics had an impact. The chorus says,...

Tale as Old as Time

For some, a tale as old as time is a favorite story book. For me, it's Victory in Jesus....

Unseen (the story behind the story)

For everything we CAN see, there is so much more that hides below the surface. Every person we see or meet is going through something. Every relationship has levels of permission and levels of disclosure. Even the closest of friends may hide some pieces of their story from each...

Healing for Parents

My biggest goal each year is reading through the Bible. Thanks to the YouVersion app, I can do this with friends all over the world. This year, we’re reading through the Bible chronologically. As we read through Genesis, I noticed some recurring themes in the book related to parenting....
