When thinking about the attributes of our God, I tend to put him in a box. Put limits on what he can and can’t do. I forget sometimes, what it means to be the creator of the universe. I know all the Biblical stories. Jesus turning water into wine, the healings, the raising of theContinue reading “Our God”

Into the Fire
We’ve all gone through those times when we feel like we are “in the fire.” Some trouble or hardship that overwhelms us and brings us to our knees. It can shake our faith and sometimes we can feel like things are hopeless. We can cry out to God asking, “Why am I going through this?”Continue reading “Into the Fire”
Intentionally Bless Someone Every Day
As we prepare for this Christmas season, it will be easy to get caught up in the secular meaning of Christmas. To prepare for family gatherings, to go shopping and make sure we have gifts for everyone. We spend a ton of time decorating our houses. Many believers will take the time to attend theContinue reading “Intentionally Bless Someone Every Day”
He will always pursue us, even when we aren’t pursuing him.
Every year it seems I fall into a pattern with my writing here on this blog. About this time of year, the end of summer and beginning of fall, I start to write more. This will last through the fall and winter. Once the new year kicks in, I slowly start slowing down and usuallyContinue reading “He will always pursue us, even when we aren’t pursuing him.”
I Am willing
In Matthew 8:2-3 we read about the leper who came before Jesus to ask for healing, which Jesus did. When I read it this morning, I stopped and pondered it some. Something struck me that I’ll expand upon here. First let’s look at the verse itself. Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying,Continue reading “I Am willing”

Remember the Future, Live Fearlessly
I borrowed this saying from church last night: Remember the future, live fearlessly. Easier said than done, but when we realize what our future is as Christians, we can truly can live fearlessly. We remember who’s world this is. It’s not ours. It’s not the governments. One bad news report can often make us fearContinue reading “Remember the Future, Live Fearlessly”
Secrets of the Vine
I finished the year reading a small book which has had a huge impact on me. Secrets of the Vine by Bruce Wilkinson (author of the famous Prayer of Jabez) is a quick read with so much insight and truth. I picked this up at a thrift store for fifty cents and it was probablyContinue reading “Secrets of the Vine”
Where is Jesus going?
Where is Jesus going today? I just realized I never asked that question. Many times in the Bible, Jesus says to follow him. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” -Matthew 4:19 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselvesContinue reading “Where is Jesus going?”
God’s Love Never Fails
Like many families, my family has had it’s disagreements over the years as we’ve all gotten older, gotten married and started our families. Some disagreements have been minor, but some have been major. And neither side is really actively pursuing a reconciliation. We as human beings often find ourselves content with our separation fromContinue reading “God’s Love Never Fails”
