Now What?

We are currently walking through the 12 Days of Christmas; that is, December 25th to January 6th. Christmas is, of course, the day we remember the Christ child being born. January 6th is the Day of Epiphany where we reflect on the magi from the East acknowledging the divine appointment of Jesus as Lord. MyContinue reading “Now What?”

The Year of Jubilee

I am glad I get to spend time diving into scripture each week. I facilitate a group study that seeks to go deeper into context, and understand more fully the word of God we call the Bible. We have been in Leviticus with the prior week being chapters 23 and 24 (the festival calendar), andContinue reading “The Year of Jubilee”

Firm Foundation

The year 2025 is rolling on no matter what your level of preparedness has been. If your year looks anything like mine it is already filling with exciting and stressing events. When I get a fresh calendar, I like to hold it up to God and say “This represents the days you’ve laid out aheadContinue reading “Firm Foundation”

A Moment’s Eve

Inspiration came on Christmas Eve as we came together with our church family for the candlelight service. Our pastor spoke of this teenage girl giving birth to the Messiah of the world. So young and full of zeal for her faith, she submitted so that the will of the Everlasting God could find fulfillment withinContinue reading “A Moment’s Eve”

The Heart of the Matter

In November we set aside time to be thankful. This requires reflection. Personally I’m not a fan of self-analysis to discover my feelings. In counseling, I understand the importance of doing so for therapeutic purposes. Yet I tend to be driven more by logic and just want my emotions to stay in their box whereContinue reading “The Heart of the Matter”

Oftentimes the Lord uses His people to carry His words to others. Either to someone far from Him spiritually, or who are in a circumstance where they are not open to hearing from Him directly. Perhaps it may also be that the Lord knows certain people who can get across to others with a voiceContinue reading “Spiritual Mail Carriers”

3 Ways to Interpret the Signs

There is a road that I travel often which has two advisory signs one after the other. The first is to let the driver know they are approaching a church. The next warns of a side street intersection and says CAUTION. As I was driving this road one day, I read the signs in successionContinue reading “3 Ways to Interpret the Signs”

When to Say When

Let’s be honest. At the restaurant, when the waiter says those two words “say when” we have all thought let’s see how far I can take this. It’s a test of limits between how much we really need to be satisfied, and how much they are willing to dish out. Sometimes in our pursuit ofContinue reading “When to Say When”

Hi, You’re on Speakerphone

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, andContinue reading “Hi, You’re on Speakerphone”
