This ordinary day…
I am convinced it’s not the dramatic stories, trials and testimonies where our Lord most often chooses to show Himself through us but in the common, every day living. So often, we miss holy opportunities waiting for the big event, the mission trip, or the planned church program. But so often holy moments, with eternalContinue reading “This ordinary day…”
From my son-in-law…
Powerful, insightful words from my son-in-law, Forest McCollough— The murder of Charlie Kirk hit me in a way nothing else ever has, and I think other people are feeling the same thing. I have heard people say that he is a martyr – and I completely agree with that. A martyr is someone who isContinue reading “From my son-in-law…”
It is time
The tide has shifted and what the Bible has told us would happen, has happened, and is happening, and here in this country as well. Wrong is called “right” and what’s right is called “wrong”, and people are celebrating the death of someone who sought to talk about biblical truth. Things are happening just asContinue reading “It is time”
When it doesn’t go as you expect
I snapped a picture as my daughter and I drove near Asheville a few years ago. I was traveling to speak nearby, and I wanted to show her where our family had lived when she and her brothers were little. How we had loved living there. As those glorious mountains spread out before us, treesContinue reading “When it doesn’t go as you expect”
Words on a page. Hope in my heart.
Words on a page.Hope in my heart. These words weren’t meant to be put on a shelf after Easter. I need to remember again. Maybe you do, too? As His blood flowed down, and the human heart of my Savior stopped , the curtain separating men from a Holy God was torn in two. (LukeContinue reading “Words on a page. Hope in my heart.”
Go ahead, write in your Bible. Leave a Legacy.
My niece, AC, loves the Word. She takes notes. She asks questions, but let me tell you something else she does… Routinely, she says, “wait a minute” and she will go, and pick up her dad’s Bible. She looks to see if he has underlined, circled, or written anything in the passage she is reading.Continue reading “Go ahead, write in your Bible. Leave a Legacy.”
A strange passage and real PEACE…
For years, I had read this somewhat strange passage and wondered what it meant— “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it swept and putContinue reading “A strange passage and real PEACE…”
Are you raising kids who can stand in hard days?
This remains one of the most shared things I’ve ever written. In these hard days, I felt it important to share again. It’s hard truth, but there is HOPE! —- They are some of the most miserable people I know–young adults who haven’t really picked a side. They try to live in two worlds—the oneContinue reading “Are you raising kids who can stand in hard days?”
Lord ? or just advisor?
Many, who like to think themselves progressive, and think that’s a good thing, suggest the New Testament is all about love not about rules or law. But in Matthew 5:17, Jesus made it clear that He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. He asserted that God’s laws should be followedContinue reading “Lord ? or just advisor?”
Tuesday of Holy Week. All She Had.
Jesus spends most of Tuesday of Holy Week teaching and being questioned by the religious leaders in order that they might trap Him somehow. Were they jealous of His following? Did they feel threatened by the authority with which He taught? Or did they reason, if they could trip Him up, they might surely proveContinue reading “Tuesday of Holy Week. All She Had.”
Felix’s Last Chance?
The past few days, I’ve written a lot about asking God to help us identify sin, flee from it and rejoice in His forgiveness. But the vast majority of those around us rarely give this a thought. So many, who hold on to this world, think they have many, many chances left to think aboutContinue reading “Felix’s Last Chance?”
Help to prepare our hearts for Easter
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” (1 Cor 3:16-17) If you are a Christian, you (fill in your name)Continue reading “Help to prepare our hearts for Easter”
Where else would I go?
This is hard stuff. Are you ready for some hard stuff? I’ve been paused on this verse for several days. I’ve been wrestling. I’ve been reading commentaries and thinking about all I’ve seen God do and know Him to be. Still, I can’t fully wrap my mind around these words God had the beloved disciple,Continue reading “Where else would I go?”
Don’t leave others wondering at your funeral. Live like you love Jesus!
We love Him because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19) This love for God is a result of Him loving us first. But this result, this love for God, should be tremendously apparent in our lives. No one should be left to wonder at your funeral if you loved God or not. Our loveContinue reading “Don’t leave others wondering at your funeral. Live like you love Jesus!”
Have you seen God?
If someone tells you they’ve actually seen God, this is a big RED FLAG this person is not speaking truth. Our human eyes could not behold Him and live. John reiterates this when he clearly says, “No one has seen God at anytime.” (1 John 4:12) But we can often see God in others, can’tContinue reading “Have you seen God?”
Don’t be quiet
Christians around the world, in Syria and Congo right now, are being slaughtered. We should pray and we should remember. We should make our voices heard. It’s easy to sit here on my couch, coffee in hand and read these words in 2 Timothy from my pretty Bible, and miss the profound depth of them.Continue reading “Don’t be quiet”
Mad at God and believing Satan’s lies
Whatever we ask, we receive! That’s sounds a lot like a genie in a bottle kind of prosperity God—not the Most High Holy of Holies. So what does John mean when he writes, “And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in HisContinue reading “Mad at God and believing Satan’s lies”
Not just some of me. All of me.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His Holy name!Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits! (Psalm 103:1-2) Oh my soul.Bless HIS Holy Name with ALL that is within me. Not just some of me.All of me. But all of me is prone toContinue reading “Not just some of me. All of me.”
Hang on! Because One Day!
God’s children look different than the rest of the world. The world doesn’t really know, understand, or celebrate us, do they? John told us, “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not knowContinue reading “Hang on! Because One Day!”
