Good Morning Friends, If you stand before the stained‑glass window at Moorings depicting the Feeding of the Five Thousand, you notice something immediately: Jesus is calm, compassionate, and utterly untroubled by scarcity. The disciples, on the other hand, look like most of us—aware of the need, aware of their limits, and unsure how what they … Continue reading When Is Enough, Enough?

Seven Signs That Inspire Us to Know God More Deeply

What Lessons Can We Learn From Tokien, Lewis and Corrie ten Boom On Persevering Grace?
Good Morning Friends, Spiritual autobiographies are holy ground. They remind us that faith is not a straight line but a long obedience.

Do You Remember Nicaea And The Unity In Christ That Shapes Our Faith?
Good Morning Friends, The Council of Nicaea (AD 325) stands as one of the great hinge points of Christian history.

Do You Sense the Fruitful Fragrance of Faithfulness in Polycarp?
Good Morning Friends, Today we do something a little different but bear with me as I share a brief introduction to Polycarp, Ignatius, and Irenaeus. They are deeply respected Apostolic Fathers—not infallible authorities, but trusted early witnesses who help the Reformed tradition understand how the gospel moved from the apostles into the second‑century church. Polycarp is honored for his direct … Continue reading Do You Sense the Fruitful Fragrance of Faithfulness in Polycarp?
What If We Struggle To Hear and See God At Work?
Good Morning Friends, Pride is a battle for every one of us. Left unchecked, it blinds us, distorts our motives, and keeps us from bearing the fruit God intends. Today’s Scriptures remind us that while we are perishable and prone to self-promotion, God offers a remedy: the humility that comes from seeing Christ clearly. But what … Continue reading What If We Struggle To Hear and See God At Work?
What Must We Give Up In Order To Follow Jesus And Grow In Holiness?
Good Morning Friends, Jesus held many conversations during His earthly ministry, and the Gospels preserve only a fraction of them—meaning each one matters.

Property, money, and material possessions seem to give us security, but it is all a mist…a vapor. … Continue reading What Must We Give Up In Order To Follow Jesus And Grow In Holiness?
