Few of us look for adversity, but it finds us nevertheless. The Bible promises us that God goes with us through each adversity and offers us a way through. I trust God to keep this promise and help me with the wisdom and courage I need to face what comes up in my life. Recently, [...]

Jesus made some specific promises about meeting our needs through his riches. I don’t have to know or understand how that happens, but I do have to trust that he keeps his promises.  Trusting his promises doesn’t mean I can sit around and do nothing, waiting for it to fall in my lap. I have [...]

Less than a week ago, sections of Dallas and Ft. Worth were hit by violent storms that spawned 13 tornadoes. Many cowered in hall closets and bathrooms as the winds swirled around them and prayed for God to show mercy and spare them. Although the storms destroyed millions of dollars in property, no one died [...]

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, a day we remember how the crowds sang Jesus’ praises as he entered Jerusalem. Each of the four Gospels carries the story, but I especially like the one in Luke 19:28-44. The Pharisees tell Jesus to rebuke his followers for singing praises. I love Jesus’s response: Some of the Pharisees in [...]

Life is full of transitions; some anticipated and some not. Many people do well when the transition is anticipated and plans are made. It’s the ones that pop up with no warning that sometimes grab you by the throat and leave you stressed and anxious. I call this time period “Life in the Hallway” – [...]

The lyrics to one of my favorite songs says: And He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am His own. Whether my life is in sunshine or shadow, I never walk it alone. God goes with me, beside me, carrying me when I can no longer make it [...]

If you play Mahjongg, Solitaire, or other game where some of the cards or tiles are hidden and you have to clear items before you can reach the hidden elements, you know what it’s like to search for something you know is there, but just beyond your grasp. For us, it has been a job [...]

My children and I stood outside an abortion clinic, hoping to talk to young women headed into the building. One young woman who stopped to talk to me was crying. She was 16 and told me that if she didn’t abort her baby she couldn’t go home because her parents would never let her continue [...]

II Cor. 2:14-15 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s victory parade. God uses us to spread his knowledge everywhere like a sweet-smelling perfume.  Our offering to God is this: We are the sweet smell of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are being [...]

The Bible promises me that I am never alone. God walks with me each step of the way, carrying me when I am unable to take another step. He also sends people along my path to offer a kind word, a helping hand, a smile, a loving touch. I am never alone! You are never [...]

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that [...]

The Apostle Paul wrote: I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to [...]

Jesus says that I cannot add time to my life by worrying. Neither can I change things by worrying. Proverbs 12:25 says that an worried heart weighs you down. A better option is to trust God and His promises. Luke 11:9-10 tells me to ask God and I will receive. If I seek God, I [...]

If you have every stood on the beach and watched the waves roll in, you get a picture of how God’s love and blessings roll into our lives. The waves keep coming and nothing you or I do can stop them or make them happen. They bring new life, new blessings each day. I am [...]

A short peak into the Bible leads us to conclude that God is willing and able to use us, with all our shortcomings and missteps. For example, Moses killed a man in anger and stuttered, King David was a murderer and an adulterer and sadly lacked parenting skills, Noah got drunk, Peter denied him, Rahab [...]

Even though the news says that economic conditions are improving, not everyone who needs a job can find one. It’s hard to stay positive when you spend time worrying about how to pay the utilities, keep a safe roof over your head and buy food. Jesus tells us not to worry. So I tell you, [...]

The rock group “Green Day” had a popular song of a few years ago called “The Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” The chorus went:             “My shadow’s the only one who walks beside me             My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating             Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me             ‘Til then [...]

Have you watched “The Lion King?” The devil is a lot like Scar. Place Scar and Mufasa side by side and you notice some definite differences. Mufasa is healthy and strong with big claws, good teeth, with a determined profile. Scar slinks and cowers, is thin and week with less weak claws and bad teeth. [...]

Sometimes the world seems to be spinning around me so fast I can’t keep track of things. I get so caught up in the push that I forget to spend time with God. This makes my world spin out of control even faster. I must take time to sit in the quiet and connect consciously [...]

Many years ago, I was on my way to work one morning when a van coming toward me lost the double axle trailer he was pulling and it ended up in my lane coming toward my compact car. On the narrow street, there was no real way to get out of the way except possible [...]
