Battling Anxiety

What is a looming threat in our culture today? Anxiety!  It’s been said that “Anxiety is the soundtrack humming beneath modern life.” Paul’s instructions to the church at Philippi speak clearly in response (Phil. 4:5-7):  “The Lord is near, do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests […]

New Years 2025

Once, when the people of God had become careless in their relationship with Him, the Lord rebuked them through the prophet Haggai: “Consider your ways!” (Haggai 1:5). He urged them to reflect on some of the things happening to them, and to evaluate their fading spirituality in light of what God had told them. The beginning of […]

Mary Did You Know?

Imagine what was going through Mary’s mind as the angel Gabriel told her she was going to give birth to the Messiah. How she responded is a lesson for us all. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in […]

Idol of Dagon

In 1 Samuel 4:1-3 we read that Israel has been defeated in an initial battle with the Philistines, suffering the cost of 4,000 lives. The Israelites were stunned at the outcome. How could God allow them such a defeat? Although defeated by the Philistines, instead of seeking and humbling themselves before God, the Israelites concluded, “Let us […]

Come, Lord Jesus!

     The last prayer in the Bible, which is also one of the shortest was written by John the apostle. He simply said, “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev. 22:20) Three words, and yet, so much is inferred within that simple prayer.  John’s prayer is layered with heartache and anticipation, with distress and hope, with agony and joy. Can you imagine […]

Fruit of Suffering

Strutting before his brothers in his new coat-of-many-colors, there was Joseph, the favorite son. Excitedly, Joseph told them of a dream he had had and his promise of glory and great power to come. (Genesis 37:5-11). However, as the story unfolds, the cost would be far more than Joseph realized. In order to achieve that […]

The Quest

“Those who dance are thought mad by those who hear not the music”. That old adage is certainly true for those of us who walk to the beat of God’s drum. (Mark Batterson) When you take your cues from the Holy Spirit, you’ll do some things that will make people think you’re foolish and some […]

Courage and Joy

Jesus was in agony. He was in anguish. He was deeply troubled in His spirit. Why? Because there was death in front of him; there was pain, there was hardship, and as He struggled on His knees in the garden of Gethsemane, it was evident He didn’t want to do it. Then He said to His […]
