WordoftheWeek: Loving-Kindness
As Jeanne shared earlier in the week, the Lord’s love is certain. His love for us is displayed in so many ways. For Jeanne, it became apparent that God’s love for her was complete, even through infertility. So complete, in fact, that His love for others never competes with His love for her. One of…

THE WORD WORKS
A simple “I love you” can take root in a person’s heart and change them. Hearing “I believe in you” or “you’re special” makes all the difference to children- and confident adults. Likewise, disparaging words can wreak havoc on anyone’s life. Our words are powerful. How much more are His? Over the centuries, people have…

Listening Through the Static
I drove past that familiar gnarled tree, and the yellow house I like. Approaching that long stoplight, I slowed to a stop. It’s a road I know. A drive I make daily. I try to get near to the Lord on the trip. To help me tune in, I’ve usually got a CD and two…

What in Your Life is Ruthless?
The headache that comes back again and again. A chronic illness that knocks you off your feet without regard for where you’re headed or how much pain you’re already in. The thought in your head that you are not good enough, no matter how hard you’ve tried. A lie, on repeat, that you can’t ever…

Peace With Who I Am Not
When Lisa Murray asked me to be a part of her book launch team for Peace For a Lifetime, I didn’t know what to expect. It didn’t seem like fiction –but was it a textbook? A self-help guide? A lengthy theological statement? Peace for a Lifetime is written by a counselor. A friend. A believer….

Bringing the Old Into the New
Living anew amongst old things is tough. Young people working in offices filled with pre-dominantly middle-aged adults know all about that. It’s hard to “be” the change when it seems nothing is changing around you. But it’s also hard to have a set way and to adapt when newness comes along. Middle-aged adults in…

New Amongst the Old
“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse.” –Matthew 9:16 With the New Year, new resolutions are made. New outlooks are had, and, if nothing else, a sense of hope and possibility is renewed. Within weeks, it all…

Out of Excuses
“If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.” –John 15:22 Many religions offer gods to admire and follow: Christianity alone offers a Savior. And with our Savior, the truth that we need to be saved. Regardless of our…
