Send us a text Life Under the Reign of God “For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.” - Psalm 22:28 What would life look like if we truly decided to live together under the reign of God? The writer of Psalm 22 had some thoughts. There would no longer be the fear of violence. Our souls “would be delivered from the sword.” We would live together in safety and peace.

Send us a text Finding Safety in the Wilderness “Then the LORD said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus.” - 1 Kings 19:15 Sometimes in life we find ourselves in places we never wanted to be, going to places we never wanted to go.

Yet it wasn’t possible for him to serve and follow God where he was, as he was. Had he st...

Send us a text A Good Rest and A Good Meal “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you." from 1 Kings 19:7 Elijah was really in trouble this time. So much so that he was ready to give up and die. Everything he had built had been torn down. His friends had been put to death and he was supposed to be next.

Send us a text The Difference Between Honoring and Obeying “Son, always do what’s right. Even if I tell you to do something wrong, do what’s right.” - my dad, The Rev. Horace G. McMillon, jr. My father’s instruction to me gave me a very different insight on a verse that is sometimes used for mischief: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother’” (from Ephesians 6) We are not called to blind obedience.

Dominion to Care and Serve not Use and Exploit

2025/06/14

Send us a text Dominion to Care and Serve not Use and Exploit “You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;” - from Psalm 8:6 When we have toxic minds we tend to hear and read things in toxic ways. Toxic thinking leads to toxic living, leads to outcomes. The unrenewed mind hears the word dominion, as domination and control. The toxic mind understands having dominion as having the power and authority to use and exploit as they see fit. Too many of us think...

2025/06/12

Send us a text We Don’t Know “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.” - John 16:12 We want to know. We want certainty. We want to be in control. Not knowing the what, where, when, how, and whys makes us afraid. It terrifies many of us. And we seldom make good choices when we are driven by fear. The reality is this: our best knowledge and understanding is partial, incomplete, and sometimes incorrect. “For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then ...
