Tasting God’s Goodness
As Christians, we know that the way to be close to God is to spend time with Him, praying and reading the Bible. But that time with God accomplishes more than we might think.
Hope for the Next Generation
This is my 16th year as an elementary teacher, and it sometimes astounds me to think just how much our world has changed. Young people have so many more voices to sort through now as they grow and mature, and it can be easy to feel like it’s a losing battle. But there is hope for the next generation, and those yet to come—and you and I have the opportunity to be a part of God’s working.
Praying with No Strings Attached
Jacob isn’t a Biblical character we typically take for a role model, but there is one moment in his life that gives us a glimpse of maturity—and yes, even an example to follow.
Surrounded by Scripture
It is always interesting how the loss of a loved one brings things into focus in unexpected ways. In this week’s blog post, I share a detail of my aunt’s life that impacted me and reminded me of how God so often uses the small details of our lives to encourage and challenge others.
Committing My Works Unto the Lord
I have always thought of committing my works to the Lord as a sort of putting them in His hands in terms of the results, but when put in context, there is another very important sense in which we commit our works to the Lord.
Drawing Near to Our Personal God
It is easy to be so busy doing things for the Lord, that we lose sight of the fact that He is not just a vague entity, but a real Person, who desires us to spend time with Him.
Quick to Forget
The account of Lot’s rescue from Sodom is one full of God’s mercy, and yet Lot—as you and I often do—showed himself quick to forget God’s deliverance when faced with the next steps.
Red-Letter Treasure
It is a good thing for God’s Word to become familiar, but often that familiarity makes it all to easy to take for granted the gift of having God’s own words available to us.
To Walk with God
The Old Testament frequently has genealogical lists of individuals, the details of their lives often following a specific pattern. But once in a while, God includes an individual whose life doesn’t follow the pattern.
