In all things as we are
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 We have little problem seeing Jesus as the Son of God, but we rarely think about what He felt as a man. This verse doesn’t ask […]

Anchor Point
To resist the changing tides, the wind and waves, and firmly hold its position, every ship needs a good anchor. But an anchor’s ultimate success or failure is not simply dependent on its own weight or design, but rather on the reliability of what it is anchored to. When the Scripture speaks of shipwrecks (1 […]

Are you listening?
Ding. Ring. Better check. Must like. Have to reply. Follow. Must know. Any updates? Click. Swipe. Post. Next. Watch now or it will be gone. Don’t miss out. Repeat often. “Taking every thought captive” (2 Corinthians 10:5) is getting more and more challenging. No longer just a sifting of good and bad thoughts, we are […]

Good Day Sunshine
Endowed by God with power and glory, the sun’s reach and impact are inescapable. Its entrance and exit are timed to the minute as it marks our seasons, days and years. While its energy output has never varied more than 0.1%, a mere 1% increase or decrease would destroy all life on earth. Commanding the […]

a glory that never fades
Is that a gray hair? Another wrinkle! Where did that line come from? Not as flexible as you used to be? Lost a step or two? Feeling more soreness? Hair thinning? Stuff sagging? Eyes not as sharp? Putting on LB’s? After we’ve awakened from our collegiate invincibility stupor, it usually doesn’t take long to notice […]

The Wonders of His Love
Opting out, privacy mode, incognito windows and do-not-track requests! We live in a crazy world where I’m not sure anything is truly private unless it’s in a shoebox under your bed with a rubber band on it. So much personal information from our digital footprint is being collected and disseminated that it’s kind of scary. […]

the Lover of your Soul
For the shepherd in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, the care of his sheep was a full-time commitment. From the safety of the home-front to higher grounds and back again, the seasonal journeys were necessary to find new pastures and fresh waters. While on the road as night fell, the shepherd would construct a make-shift sheep […]

What did you say?
It is nothing short of a miracle to be able to contract our diaphragm to force a compressed, invisible column of air across vocal cords that carve it into sound waves perfectly sculpted by our tongue, mouth and lips, producing intelligible sounds we call words. In this amazing gift, God has given us the power […]

Confessions of a sheep
Hello. I’m a sheep. I was born that way. I’m really not very good at taking care of myself. You see, I’m not all that smart, get lots of stuff caught in my wool I can’t reach due to flexibility issues and don’t have any defensive skills worth bragging about. I’ve also discovered my “baaaah” […]

Just another day?
Since Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, shouldn’t we be astounded that the Eternal Son of God would willingly clothe His divine glory with flesh? Shouldn’t we be speechless at the One who spoke everything into existence by the power of His Word willingly reduced to unintelligible sounds in the arms of […]
