Good Morning Friends, I think sometimes we read Psalm 23 like it’s a sweet poem to hang on a wall. But David didn’t write this from a cozy coffee shop. He wrote it as a man who had been hunted, betrayed, exhausted, and pushed to the edge. And right there, in the middle of fear … Continue reading Is The Lord Your Shepherd?
Would You Recognize Jesus If He Was Standing At The Entrance To Your Home?
Good Morning Friends, Genesis 18 opens with a shock: “The LORD appeared to Abraham… as he sat at the entrance of his tent.” Not a dream. Not a vision. Not an angelic messenger. A Visitor is standing in the heat of the day, in the dust of Mamre, beneath the shade of a tree. Abraham … Continue reading Would You Recognize Jesus If He Was Standing At The Entrance To Your Home?
How Do We Rediscover The Wisdom Of The Bible That Rescues Us?
Good Morning Friends, Paul says something astonishing to Timothy, something we often rush past: “The Scriptures are able to make you wise for salvation.” Not smart. Not informed. Not religiously literate. Wise. And not just wise in general, wise for salvation. Wise in ways we never thought possible. Paul is saying that Scripture doesn’t just … Continue reading How Do We Rediscover The Wisdom Of The Bible That Rescues Us?
Are You Becoming Like Jesus?
Good Morning Friends, If you’ve walked with Jesus for any length of time, you’ve felt the tension: I know who He is… but I’m not yet like Him. And that gap — that ache — is not a sign of failure. It’s a sign of life. It’s evidence that the Spirit is at work, pulling … Continue reading Are You Becoming Like Jesus?
Are We Being Conformed, Or Are We Being Transformed?
Good Morning Friends, There’s a battle happening in our minds long before it ever shows up in our behavior. Paul puts it plainly: “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2 is not a suggestion, it’s a diagnosis. The world is always discipling us, always … Continue reading Are We Being Conformed, Or Are We Being Transformed?
Do You Have Some Questions About Who Jesus Is And His Purpose For The Temple In Your Life?
Good Morning Friends, Building a purposeful life matters for Christians, especially when we live with eternity in mind. Solomon understood this in his own way. In his day, the Temple needed to be built, and it defined his kingship. In Jesus’ day, another rebuilding was needed, not of stone, but of hearts. Herod, caught up … Continue reading Do You Have Some Questions About Who Jesus Is And His Purpose For The Temple In Your Life?
How Has God Gifted You To Love, And Be Loved, In Ways That Strengthen Your Call?
Good Morning Friends, Long before the wilderness experience and long before Jesus sent His disciples from a hillside outside Jerusalem with a commission, He first sent them from Galilee with a message, a method, and a means. They didn’t feel ready. They stepped out anyway. Like anyone who reaches for “more,” whether in the desert … Continue reading How Has God Gifted You To Love, And Be Loved, In Ways That Strengthen Your Call?
Are You Willing To Not Only Hear And Say But Do What Is Right?
Good Morning Friends, Living faithfully in a confused and broken world has never been simple. We long to be whole people, yet our efforts often fall short. Scripture’s answer is not passivity but a living relationship with Jesus—one that listens and follows. While we cannot add to God’s work, we do participate in it. Christ’s … Continue reading Are You Willing To Not Only Hear And Say But Do What Is Right?
Will You Have Your House In Order?
Good Morning Friends, Oh we would like to think we are good people but really if honest we should be ashamed of our own power. We are baptized by our vices and live in a battle between our pride and shame. In our impatience we would skip essential steps. It is the human condition, and … Continue reading Will You Have Your House In Order?
If God Is For Us, Who Can Be Against Us?
Good Morning Friends, Today we return to a story that has always unsettled me, the binding of Isaac. It carries that same heavy silence you feel before a test, when everything familiar goes quiet. After years of noise in Abraham’s household, the laughter of Isaac, the bitterness of Sarah, the cries of Hagar, the weeping … Continue reading If God Is For Us, Who Can Be Against Us?
