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. Who’s important in your life? When you were brand new to the world, your parents and guardians were your go-to people. […]
Hebrews 10:23 talks about holding on, encouraging us to trust and believe what we have learned in the past. It says, “We must hold on to God’s promise that we have said we believed. And we must never let go. He has promised and he will do it.” I don’t know how you interpret this […]

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 […]
Maybe you remember singing about that little light that you were going to shine when you were just a kid. Or maybe you’ve heard little children sing that song with gusto and it always warms your heart. It turns out we’ve been singing a version of that song for nearly one hundred and fifty years. […]
One of the greatest things about stories is that the good ones can be told over and over. In fact, the good ones should be told over and over again. Psalm 19:2 says, “Day after day they tell the story; night after night they tell it again.” If they are repeating the story that often, […]
Many summers ago, I heard about a guy who longed to have a beautiful boat. He wanted it to be big and comfortable, have room to sleep and entertain, and be equipped to take trips to nearby islands. It was his dream come true, the longing of his heart. This boat, perhaps a small yacht, […]
