I just can’t seem to move past this passage. The rich young ruler walked away, sorrowful, but unwilling to part with his great possessions to follow Jesus.(Luke 18) I’ve wondered again and again if I’m holding anything too tightly or counting on anything more than I count on Jesus. Jesus explains to His disciples howContinue reading “I’m having trouble moving past this”

The REAL World Changers
There is so much virtue-signaling“wokeness” in our culture right now. Suddenly, it’s as if we are trying to outdo each other pontificating about our advanced understanding of the evils of human nature. We post about how well we “get it”, but the ones who truly seem to “get it” don’t seem to be saying thatContinue reading “The REAL World Changers”
You can’t trust this person
Go ahead and look in the mirror.You cannot trust that person. You probably already know that.Maybe you’ve been trying to deny it. Jesus told the parable in Luke 18 to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and treated others with contempt…(Luke 18:9) Those two things—trusting in yourself and treating others with contemptContinue reading “You can’t trust this person”
I’m so thankful he keeps asking
I was so sad. For some reason, our cuckoo clock had crashed to the floor and had been laying,in pieces, on my dining room table, for weeks. We had bought it years ago when our young family lived overseas. Yesterday, I walked by as my husband, reading glasses perched on his nose, and pliers inContinue reading “I’m so thankful he keeps asking”
We get to GO to church!
No doubt, a fuzzy blanket, a cup of piping hot coffee, pajamas and a live stream or video have been church for many of us lately. . . But today, our family gets to GO to church! And I hope you get to GO today, or soon. I know many of you, like me, haveContinue reading “We get to GO to church!”
I’ve seen it over and over
I’ve seen it over and over. Have you? There is blessing for those who trust in God. They stand on the solid Rock, Who is Christ Jesus. God’s promises are their anchor. Jesus calms their storms. Though the world around them may be shaken, they are curiously steady. Steady. Though others fall away to theContinue reading “I’ve seen it over and over”
When It’s Dark the Light still Shines.
This was one year ago. The trail is closed. But the light still shines…. We grabbed our bag chairs out of the back of the truck and walked toward the trail. Rain was dripping from the trees and night was coming. We weren’t exactly sure what to expect, but for years we had heard aboutContinue reading “When It’s Dark the Light still Shines.”
Is Jesus Coming Soon?
Lately, I’ve found myself wondering if Jesus is coming back soon. Have you? Here are some things we know about the Second Coming of Christ— People will be going about their normal day-to-day stuff… getting married, partying, buying and selling, building, and planting gardens. (Luke 17:26-30) Many will reject Jesus. Wickedness will also be acceptedContinue reading “Is Jesus Coming Soon?”
Do you want real change?
We can want physical change, and social change, and all sorts of change, but if we don’t have a changed heart that runs to Jesus, none of that change matters. If our goal is to change the world for any cause other than Christ—political, social or physical, we are missing the mark and the changesContinue reading “Do you want real change?”
Do you know a Christian Atheist?
It would be easier to never mention this, but it seems there are lots of Christian Atheists these days. Perhaps, you know one? Perhaps, you are one? You may be a Christian Atheist if you say you are a Christian, but you, in fact, live as if you don’t believe God is real (the GodContinue reading “Do you know a Christian Atheist?”
When you love a lost sheep
It’s easy to feel forgotten. It’s easy to think God does not care about what our weary worn hearts care about. But He does. He cares about the one. The each one. The lost ones and the messed-up ones. In Luke 15, Jesus was eating with sinners and the religious leaders are shocked. Jesus thenContinue reading “When you love a lost sheep”
One of those days…
It had been one of those days. I had worked and worked and felt like others weren’t doing their share. I had been playing the pity party music in my head for quite some time when my mom mentioned that my daddy’s feet were hurting him again. She explained that every morning she washes hisContinue reading “One of those days…”
