Our Wellbeing Comes From Trusting That…

60 Seconds of Hope with Horace McMillon ·

2025/09/28

Send us a text Our Wellbeing Comes From Trusting That… Given human history and the present state of the world, the words of Psalm 146 are some of the most challenging to embrace. They are also the most comforting, empowering, and inspiring when we do: Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever; who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hung...

Send us a text Be Faithful With Dirty Money (and it’s all dirty) “If, then, you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?” - Luke 16:11 The Roman Empire was perhaps the first global economy. It was virtually impossible to participate in it without in some way being tainted by or complicit in it. As it was then, so it is now. There’s a good chance the rare earth materials used to make our phones, tablets, computers, and batteries for...

Never Accept Injustice As The Norm

2025/09/26

Send us a text Never Accept Injustice As The Norm Most of the scriptures included in the Bible were produced by an oppressed people. First by the Egyptians, then the Assyrians, then the Persians, then the Greeks, then the Romans. Even when they had their own kingdoms, their rulers often failed to render justice. Many of Scriptures left behind are our reminder to never accept social and economic injustice as the norm. Consider these words from Amos 8: “Hear this, you who tr...

Send us a text Called To Care “Woe to those who are at ease in Zion and for those who feel secure on Mount Samaria.” - Amos 6:1 There’s a big difference between contentment and complacency, between gratitude and entitlement. Some of us have gotten very comfortable. We have food to eat and a safe place to sleep. We have friends and or family who care about us. We have a reasonable portion of our health and strength. These are all good things for which we s...

Send us a text How To Live Faithfully In An Unfaithful World “But as for you, person of God, shun all this (the love of money); pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.” - from 1 Timothy 6:11 How do we follow do we follow the way of Jesus? How do we live faithfully in an unfaithful world? These are the questions 1 Timothy wrestles with. Writing in the tradition of Paul, the author coaches us to be very intentional in the things we pursue, in the t...

We all have boundaries. We all have gates. Physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, we all have people who are close to us, who we care about. We have people we allow to become close to us. No problem so far.&nb...

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

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 ...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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 ...

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...

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...
