In Jeremiah 8, God asked the prophet a significant question. He said, “Why, then, have the people of Jerusalem gone the wrong way and not turned back? They believe their own lies and refuse to turn around and come back.” What would happen if we personalized the question? “Why, then, has Karen, Mary, John, Gordon, […]
Most of us can probably relate to the psalmist, when he asked God, “How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?” We all walk around with stories in our heads. Sometimes they are sweet memories that give us joy. Sometimes they are critical assessments that try […]
I love some of the Old Testament Scriptures because they often create a picture that’s fun to imagine. Consider this one from 1 Samuel 3:11. The Lord is talking to Samuel and He says, “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle.” […]
“I love you” is the most beautiful and most misunderstood phrase in any language. It’s a phrase that reminds us that somebody sees us, and cares about what is going on with us. It’s a phrase that brings a sense of longing, or belonging, or connection. It’s a phrase that comes with a mixed bag […]
One of the good things about life is that we are continually learning new things. One area of great discovery is about learning not only what’s right, or what’s important, but also who’s important.

Most of us wrestle a bit with the idea of courage. We might give ourselves extra points for the courage we have to pursue our dreams, to stand up for a cause, or to demonstrate our skills and talents. We might applaud the courageous acts we see exhibited by the unsung heroes who are first […]
Writers are idea people. The skillful ones create a message that is loud and clear. You enjoy their work because you’ve learned something or felt something or gained something useful. They may have challenged your point of view or helped you understand something that wasn’t all that apparent before. Even writers who primarily set out […]
John Wesley said, “When I was young, I was sure of everything; In a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half as sure of most things as I was before. At present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed to me.” Wesley’s quote reminds me of […]
These days it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. We’ve been fed so many fake facts, we’re not sure what to believe. Measuring the pros and cons of a decision you have to make causes your head to spin. You were once taught to be polite. You knew sharing was better than keeping all your […]
