It appears that my Father’s Day post did not actually go out, so I have posted it again. Since we just celebrated Father’s Day, I wanted to give a special shout out to all those amazing dads who helped shape and inspire generations of kids. I’m posting this, not only to great biological […]
When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” Matthew 8:10, NKJV Let’s try to imagine what kind of faith we could have that would cause Jesus to marvel, to be amazed. The Centurion who came to […]
The following post is from my friend and author, Rebecca Barlow Jordan. You’ll find her new book, Day-votions with Your Faithful Father on Amazon. It’s 90 days of powerful moments with God. “Prove it!” someone asks. ”Is God really faithful?” I could tell you about God’s faithfulness… When my husband resigned […]
According to one statistic, the average adult changes residences about eleven times. In round numbers that would mean, that between the ages of 20 and 100, people move every 7.2 years. That’s the average! My personal average is more like 2.5 years. That means I’m very familiar with packing tape and moving boxes. It means […]
British theologian and preacher F.B.Meyer said, “We never test the resources of God until we attempt the impossible!” Most of us are familiar with the idea of risk and reward. We imagine if we invest in something that isn’t absolutely certain, but seems like a good bet, we’ll get a grand payoff. After all, if […]

Henri Nouwen, Dutch Catholic priest, professor, theologian, and writer offered us a beautiful picture of prayer. He said, “The image that best expresses the intimacy we share with God during prayer is the image of God’s breath. We receive a new breath, a new freedom, and a new life. This new life is the divine […]
Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that’s your job, to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing. 1 Peter 3:8-9, MSG The Bible may have scriptures that are tricky to understand, but this […]
Even if you’re a prayer person, there are days when you simply run out of steam. You’ve already prayed numerous times, and so far, you can’t see that prayer has made much of a difference. You might even imagine you’ve finally hit on something too hard for God to deal with, or maybe He’s just […]
Ecclesiastes 11:6 offers us some good advice. It says, “Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity or another…or maybe both.” When we imagine those things that profit our lives, I suspect we jump first to our financial portfolio. After all, […]
