What Friends Do

"A friend loves you all the time." Proverbs 17:17 (NCV) what do you do with a friend? (Well, that's rather simple too.) You stick by him.

From God’s Perspective

God transforms our hopeless grief into hope-filled grief. How? We long to know that our loved ones are safe in death.

Christ is in You

Jesus not only did a work for us; he does a work in us! Colossians 1:27 tells us...

Keep Waiting–God is at Work

by Max Lucado. I’m convinced the Sabbath was created for frantic souls like me, people who need a weekly reminder that the world will not stop if I do.

A Cloak of Love

“Love covers a multitude of sins,” the scripture says in 1 Peter 4:8. Love doesn’t expose. It doesn’t gossip. If love says anything, love speaks words of defense. Words of kindness. Words of protection.

Anxiety Ain’t Fun

Philippians 4:6, “Be anxious for nothing.” The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. Could you use some calm?

His grace erases guilt. His oversight removes fear. His direction removes confusion.

Waiting Forwardly

For most of us, waiting is not our problem. Or, maybe I should state, waiting is our problem

The Arrival

Those who missed His Majesty’s arrival that night missed it not because of evil acts or malice; no, they missed it because they simply weren’t looking.

Following the Star

Question: How do you worship God? The wise men did. Before they gave God their presents, they gave their presence.

Prince of Peace

“His name will be...Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 Heaven opened herself and placed her most precious One in a human womb. The Omnipotent, in one instant, made Himself breakable. He who had been Spirit became pierceable.

He Was Reachable

Jesus was touchable, approachable, reachable. And, what’s more, he was ordinary. If he were here today you probably wouldn’t notice him as he walked through a shopping mall.

God With Us

The manger dares us to believe the best is yet to be. I love Christmas because it reminds us how“God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God!”

Let God Have You

How long has it been since you let God have you? I mean really have you?

Loving Like God Loves

Need more patience? Is generosity an elusive virtue? Having trouble putting up with ungrateful relatives or cranky neighbors? God puts up with you when you act the same. Luke 6:35 says, “But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.”

Tender Words to the Tired Heart

Are you weary, here is what you need to know: it’s okay to rest. Jesus is your David. He fights when you cannot. He goes where you cannot. He’s not angry if you sit.

Touches of Tenderness

Moments of comfort from a parent. As a father, I can tell you they are the sweetest moments in my day. They come naturally. They come willingly. They come joyfully.

In God We (Nearly) Trust

A few days before our wedding, Denalyn and I enjoyed and endured a sailing voyage. Initially it was leisurely but then the storm came.

The Cure for Jealousy

What’s the cure for jealousy? Trust. The cause of jealousy? Distrust!

Taking No Chances

With God - chance is eliminated. Remember this. Nothing comes your way that has not first passed through the filter of God’s love.

“Thine is the Kingdom…”

Your role is to help the world, not save it. You aren't able to run the world, nor are you able to sustain it.

Let God Teach You

Jesus invites, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest… let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls” Matthew 11:28-29
