Have you ever sat by a campfire and found, that even hours later, the smell of smoke had permeated your clothes? It lingers, it clings and others can smell it too. Often, as I live in a world that reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah, I’m aware that the smell of the culture has clung …
“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells …

Christ is the key that unlocks the mystery of history. Poetic, isn’t it? The quote above, in part, is from a German theologian. After writing more than 17,000 pages on the Bible and Christ these are his concluding thoughts. The key to everything is Jesus Christ. If you leave him out the box remains locked, …
Panic. You’ve felt it, haven’t you? That sudden sense that everything is out of control… …that the world and the problems you face are overwhelming, too big, too much! You may have actually said it at one time, “What will I do?!” It was a question one man asked one morning when he realized what …
Faith is an essential part of the Christian life. We came to God by faith, we live by faith, all we have is the result of faith. Faith in God is at the very heart of the Christian experience. There is a chapter in the bible that speaks exclusively of men and women who lived …
We are becoming a world with its fist in the air to God. The anger, resentment, rebellion of our world is growing. We see it in the wars, the riots of our cities, the parade to demonstrate this or that. All around us our world is coming apart at the seams. At the core of …
“You just have to forgive yourself”, my friend told me. I grievously sinned against God and another believer. My heart broke and no matter how much I asked God to forgive me I did not feel forgiven. But forgiving myself? Somehow that did not sit right in my spirit. However, I would repeat the phase …
Lately I’ve been following the last journals of Kara Tippetts and her husband, Jason, at Mundane Faithfulness. It’s a blessing, a grief, a joy, a sorrow….even though I don’t know them personally they have opened their hearts and lives as she has neared her own death from cancer. The reality of death and its heavy …
I’m a Christian. I believe that Jesus is God in flesh, the only savior, the only provision of God for man’s sin. Islam would tell me I have committed shirk. It’s the unpardonable sin of associating anyone with God. I get that. But I truly believe the bible teaches that Jesus is God, the second …
I live in a time and place in history when fame and popularity are important. In fact, if we can’t find fame from the media we create it through Facebook. With enough friends reading all about us and our lives we have a sense of value, significance, a feeling that we are somebody. Often I …

Not me! But it’s not like I haven’t been looking for it…… No, I am not a Buddhist (and I mean no disrespect towards Buddhists) but I have nonetheless been searching for “comprehension” most of my life. I have spent this life running aimlessly from one thing to another searching for something that I could use to say …
Like the Nazarite of the Old Testament, young Mason Lott, grew his hair to honor the Lord and in service of those in need.

Is it sunset or sunrise? Is the day beginning or ending? Is light coming or will it be darkness? What lies ahead? . This was a topic of discussion in C.S. Lewis’ book, The Great Divorce. Both in heaven and in hell it was twilight. In both places the residents anticipated the dawn, but it’s …
It’s often hard to see God, to see his hand, his work in our lives. It’s often hard to sense his presence, but for the believer he’s ever present. In fact, he says he will never leave us, but most of the time we don’t sense his presence, we aren’t aware of his care.For me …

Just in time for our latest historical election, below are two video links from Ronald Regan’s famous ‘ A Time For Choosing’ speech in 1964. Though nearly 50 years old now, his words still strike a cord with how close our country stands on the brink of losing all we have come to hold dear. …

Cross Amidst the Ruins On an early September morning; Hatred reared it’s ugly head. Terrorism struck Manhattan; It’s wake left thousands dead! It truly was a miracle … How many lives were saved. Over-shadowed by the horror; Of the war-like rubbled grave! Time seemed frozen, hope was lost; For loved ones left behind. Trying to …
Not A Fan Join the hundreds of people who have made the commitment to be more than just a fan… People who are completely, committed, followers of Jesus not just admirers. When we decide to follow Him, He calls for a complete commitment and total surrender. Join those who say, “I am not a fan …
I hate to admit it, but I live in a box. It’s a box created for me by others, by business, family, friends and the world around me. But the really sad truth is that I willingly climbed in the box and taped the lid shut…never asking if it was a box I should be …
