The Two Paths
If you’re like me, you are repeatedly drawn back to the very center of the Bible: the Psalms. These ancient, inspired songs supernaturally connect our lives with the very heartbeat of our Heavenly Father. They openly express vast ranges of raw emotion, ask difficult questions and invoke intimate conversations with God. They take us on […]

Praise Awaits You
Recently, I celebrated a numerically significant birthday. We could just leave it at that, but I’m going to disclose the digits as I talk about my “birthday psalm” anyway. So, turning sixty-five is kind of hard for me to believe. It seems a long way off, and then inexplicably, there are a lot of candles […]

The Sounds of Silence
“Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 NIV As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, my God. Psalm 42:1 NIV In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. Psalm 5:3 NASB95 I call […]

Jars of Clay
Isn’t it interesting one of the things Scripture calls us is “jars of clay” 2 Corinthians 4:7. Not long ago, I was broken and defeated from the relentless personal attacks of the enemy – you might call it spiritual identity theft as a result of agreeing with the lies spoken over me. And the more I […]

What Does Scripture Say?
What does Scripture say? Rom 4:3 NIV Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1 ESV I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery, your minds may be led astray from […]

The King of Glory
Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! Psalm 24:7-8 ESV The Lord reigns, He is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and […]

A Sure Foundation
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3 NIV “Violence is everywhere!” I cry, but You do not come to save. Must I see these evil deeds forever? Why must I watch all this misery? Wherever I look, I see destruction and violence. I am surrounded by people who love […]

Land of the Free and Home of the Brave?
Each Memorial Day we pause to honor those who died in the military service of our country. We honor them by remembering what they died for. And we who live on because of their sacrifice not only enjoy freedom, but are also called to defend it here at home. “At what point then is the […]

You’ve Got a Friend
We have become the most connected disconnected people in history. Thanks to technology, we are wired to anything and everything worldwide 24/7. The whitewater of social media, all-access information, endless group texts, stores that never close and on-demand entertainment can create the illusion that digital “relationships” are all we need. However, recent surveys capture the […]

What will that glory be?
If eye has not seen, ear heard or mind conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him, WHAT WILL THAT GLORY BE? If the splendor of this creation so incredible to behold is anxiously longing to be set free, WHAT WILL THAT GLORY BE? To know only in part and see dimly in […]
