Send us a text Prayer Helps Us Be Ok When It’s Not Ok “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:7-8 Our praying to God doesn’t mean that everything is going to work out the way we’d like it too. In the case of the Apostle Paul who wrote these words, he had been shipwr...

Send us a text Acceptance Is More Than Tolerance “Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters” - Romans 14:1 In a pluralistic, multicultural, group as the early Jesus movement was, disagreements and disputes were inevitable. They may have agreed that they were all called to love God and their neighbor, but they were never going to agree on what love looks like when put into practice.

Send us a text “Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.” - Psalm 100:3 We are God’s people, not some of us, but all of us. The challenge that many of us have is that we like to think of ourselves and maybe our family and friends, and maybe people who think and believe like us as God’s people. Then we want to exclude those folks over there from being among God’s people. All the sheep to God. Sheep that sta...

Send us a text Take Hold Of Life “Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” - from 1 Timothy 6:12 The gospel meaning of eternal life is not a life we are waiting for after we die.

Send us a text It’s Not That Kind Of Test “For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.” - Psalm 66:10 The meanings of words change and evolve over the centuries. Today when we think of the word test we think of an exam or evaluation where we will be given a pass or fail grade. Depending on the stakes, a failed test can cost us our jobs, our raises, our promotions, our college admissions, our graduations. A failed test often brings disaster. The wo...

First, he never gave up on himself or the idea that he could live whole. His condition had marginalized him.

Some of us are out right jealous of the folks we know are doing wrong. Too many of us see their clothes, their cars, their jewelry.

Do not fret--it leads only to evil.” - Psalm 37:8 The psalmist didn’t say that we wouldn’t have good reasons to be angry. The psalmist didn’t say we wouldn’t have good reasons to worry.

Send us a text What Does The Heart Desire? “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” - Psalm 37:4 What does the heart desire? At first we are tempted to believe the heart desires money, power, and status. However if you’ve ever spent much time around people who have obtained those things, you will find many of them are still miserable. I’m convinced that there are three things our hearts truly desire. We desire peace. We desire purpose. We desire ...
