Walking with God, Digesting Scripture and Pointing Others to Grow Deeper in their Faith
Jesus knew his disciples were in for a world full of troubles. Jesus himself endured so much while here on earth. He knows. This is a word for me too. It’s a word for you. We are to take heart. We are to press on. There will be tribulations of many kinds. What are tribulations?... Continue Reading →
While doing housework the other day I glanced outside and saw something of concern. One of my chickens was on the other side of my fence, outside the lines of safety. I live downtown so her greatest danger might be a car or a loose dog. We’d been letting them out to have more time... Continue Reading →
It’s New Years Day. Welcome 2021! We’re ready for newness. We’re weary of the old that’s weighed us down in 2020. GOOD NEWS!!! There’s a much greater newness than just passing through the new year! The moment I gave myself to God I transformed, I morphed, I mutated, I converted, I remodeled, I revolutionized into... Continue Reading →
I hate being lost! For me it’s a feeling of the unknown, of possible oncoming danger and insecurity. We all have stories before we had navigation systems of driving around trying to find our way. I even recall arguments in the car over which way we should go next while we were on vacation in... Continue Reading →
I’m intrigued by how one life can be dramatically altered because of what someone else left behind. Those who passed away hundreds or thousands of years ago can still have a profound affect on us.

If I don’t love you enough to endure the discomfort of venturing into difficult conversations I’m not sure I love you at all. Proverbs is so full of timeless wisdom that never goes out of style! It’s stood the test of time and is reliable for us to apply to our lives. Nobody enjoys rebuke... Continue Reading →
This nugget of wisdom might need to hang on the wall of every young person? The Bible says this in more than one way: 1 Corinthians 15:33, “Bad company corrupts good character.” Who I spend time with and who I let into my life really matters. It’s important we spend time with people we aspire... Continue Reading →
Some think living in the ways the Bible teaches, in God’s ways, is living a life full of restraints, restrictions and depravity but I’ve found the very opposite is true. There are many ironies in life and this is one of them. Sometimes what we think will control us actually sets us free! Pleasures forevermore!!... Continue Reading →
A Christian should have a higher standard of work ethic because of this command from Paul. What I do, no matter how small the task, can be done for God. If I view my daily tasks and job in this way my heart and attitude changes. I’m no longer bound to anyone but God. When... Continue Reading →
I can hardly imagine a world without division. I think I’ve tasted of unity in certain groups at certain times. People of Kingdom living, those who choose to live the lifestyle the Bible outlines for us are people of unity. We’re hearing these words a lot lately: division and unity. I wonder about our connectedness.... Continue Reading →
