Send us a text Start Preparing For When Things Get Better “For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land." - Jeremiah 32:15 Things were bad. Jerusalem was under siege. They were not going to be able to hold out for much longer. It was just a matter of time before the Babylonian army was walking down their streets and knocking on their doors. What do we do when we are facing impending hardship and doom?&...

Send us a text A Short Prayer of Faithfulness and Devotion Dear Lord, in a world that calls up-down, left-right, and crooked-straight… Help us to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. When our meager resources appear insufficient to the needs around us… Help us, nevertheless, to be faithful in the little things. Where the world worships power, status, and money.

Send us a text Practice Gratitude 24/7/365 “From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised.” - Psalm 113:3 This week’s lectionary readings dealt with some pretty heavy topics. But in the middle of them we find Psalm 113. It reminds us that even the midst of our hard times, we still have a lot to be grateful for. We still have a lot to celebrate. We still have a lot to thank God for and praise God’s name. Did we wake up this morning w...

How To Pray For People In Power

60 Seconds of Hope with Horace McMillon ·

2025/09/19

Send us a text How To Pray For People In Power In our anger and frustration, we sometimes like the disciples wish we could call down holy fire to destroy those who are doing wrong. Like the Psalmist we are tempted to ask God to pour wrath and vengeance on the evil doers. This is particularly true when we think about those in authority who misuse their power and influence. The early Jesus movement lived in a time where they faced significant persecution from those in ...

Send us a text When Facing Hard Times “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." - Jeremiah 8:20 The people of Israel were facing a bad situation and it wasn’t going to get better anytime soon. Sometimes life is like that for us. Sometimes it’s our fault, and sometimes not. Regardless of fault or blame, what do we do next? The first thing Jeremiah does is acknowledge what he’s feeling and experiencing, “My joy is gone; grief is upon me; my heart is sic...

The Difference Between Forgiveness and Reconciliation

2025/09/17

Send us a text The Difference Between Forgiveness and Reconciliation “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.” - 2 Corinthians 5:18 We have been called to forgive everyone preemptively, without preconditions, and unilaterally. We have also been called to the ministry of reconciliation. What’s the difference? Forgiveness does not assume reconciliation. There are many examples particularly in the cases of exploita...

Send us a text Be Street-smart and Gentle At The Same Time “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” - Matthew 10:16 There’s a big difference between living sacrificially, and being exploited, abused, and taken advantage of. The first one means exercising our agency to give up something we value for something we value more. The second means being cheated, deceived, and robbed of what’s precious to...

Send us a text Who Are We Serving? “No slave can serve two masters, for a slave will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." - Luke 16:13 It’s easy to get ourselves twisted when it comes to dealing with money. We all need money and material possessions to survive in this world. Many of the things we want to experience and enjoy come with a price tag. It’s easy for us to look at people who have m...

When We Don’t Feel Supported

2025/09/14

Send us a text When We Don’t Feel Supported A few days ago I made a post called, “It Was Worth It” where I talked about giving up my previous life to answer my calling. A fellow TikToker asked about what happens when your family doesn’t support you. I’ve been blessed to have pretty good support from my family even when they thought I was making a mistake. But Jesus went through this. His family thought he had lost his mind and literally came to get him. “When his famil...

Send us a text What Does It Mean To Believe? “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” - John 3:16 What does it mean to believe in Jesus? It means that we trust all our footsteps to the trail he blazed. We learn to think and speak, act and react, hope and desire as he did. We trust that the power of love is greater than the power of hate, and that good will eventually prevail over ...

Send us a text How Successful Will Jesus Be? “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him.” - John 3:17 If it is God’s desire to deliver the world, and if God has given Jesus this mission, how successful do we believe Jesus will be? In a short reflection, I cannot begin to fully address this ultimate question. I can point out that Jesus has invited us to participate in his work. The early church, acc...

Empty words have no power. It’s about lifting up a different example, a model of how to live, and be, and do. It’s about showing the world something different. The world runs on fear. The world...

Send us a text Life Giving Foolishness “For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” - 1 Corinthians 1:18 The so called wisdom of the world has us killing ourselves and each other. The message of the cross in Paul’s thinking is one in which we crucify our old patterns of thought and behavior. This makes space for the Spirit to resurrect and recreate us. We are freed from the slavery of old ways of l...

They lost faith in the process. They were tired and discouraged. In their discouragement they made foolish and self destructive decisions. Personal development is a process, and life is a journey. None of us gets to where we want to be as quickly as we’d like. Like...

It wasn’t something I particularly wanted to do. But in my heart I knew I needed to. I wanted to answer my calling and live my purpose. But I also wanted to live my life. So, I went to school full time, and worked full time. Got myself promoted. Got a real nice place too. But working 50-60 ho...

My very self you know.” Psalm 139:14 (NAB) Some of us struggle with our self identities, self confidence, and self esteem. We may fear that we are not good enough, smart enough, or pretty enough. We may fear that no one will really love us or even like us. The Psalmist wants us to put a permanent stop to this negative spiral. We are wonderful, every one of us. God made us Go...
