Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Spread The Joy
Send a letter, card, or other word of encouragement to everyone you are prompted about today. Do it.
On Bondage And Nobility
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these...
The Invisible Enemy
A member of our Discipleship Group recently noticed an interesting thing. In his daily COVID-19 briefings, President Trump started calling the virus “the invisible enemy” and suggesting that Americans should consider themselves “warriors” in the fight against it. As a...
The Christian Mission Statement
To know Christ (1) and to make Him known. (1) To know Christ is not simply to gain more and more knowledge about Him, but to share an intimate communion with Him. To have fellowship with Him in the style of Moses. Sometimes the footnote is the most important part.
Racism. Riots. What Now 2 Do?
If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance. 1 Corinthians 12:26 MSG We don't have to choose sides. Here is what God asks of us; No, the LORD has told us what is...
God’s Faithfulness, And My Own
I can never repay the gift of God's grace that saved me from my wretchedness. But what I fear is ever denying the gift. Or of not heeding God's call with a "Here I am. Send me." I take for my example Noah. Noah was a righteous man who “walked with God.” Genesis 6:9...
On Joy
This is the day which the LORD has made;Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 NASB And then there is this: You make known to me the path of life;in your presence there is fullness of joy;at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11 ESV...
A Beautiful Surprise
Lord, catch me off guard today. Surprise me with some moment of beauty or pain so that at least for the moment, I may be startled into seeing that you are here in all your splendor, always and everywhere, barely hidden, beneath, beyond, within this life I breath....
On Repentence
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NKJV But God. So this promise, made to David’s son Solomon, remains operative for the people called by His name today: Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and...
On Vocation
God has also planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds, a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy. Ecclesiastes 3:11 (AMPC, Paraphrased) We have two vocations in life, our labor by which we...
The Christian Mission Statement:
To know Him and to make Him known.
Martin Luther on Discipleship
"If I profess with loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except that little point which the world and the Devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle...
Live Obsessed
Live obsessed by God so that your abiding awareness of Him continually pushes itself to the forefront of your life.
On Surrender
The nature of God’s peace is never experienced in our self-sufficiency, but only in a relationship resembling the dependence of a child on a parent. God has no trouble carrying on conversations with three-year-olds, because three-year-olds have not yet been convinced...
Amazing Grace, A Global Perspective

A Prayer
We are made in the image of our creator. Among other things, we are made for joy. Reflect for a moment on the things that bring you joy. I believe one of the things that brings joy to God is when his children pray His words back to Him. Try it now and see if it...
Note To Self
Jesus never answered a question with a yes or no answer.
A Bracing Truth
"I knew you not." Matthew 7:23 God does not grade on a curve; He uses the black and white of Biblical Truth.
