Every blessing – whether quiet or unmistakably miraculous – is never meant to be read as the closing line of a fairy tale. It’s not “and they lived happily ever after.” It’s something far better. It’s a marker. It’s a message: The same God who provided this is the God who goes with you into… Read More »

For some time now, I’ve been asking the Lord to help me grow in discipleship – not as a program or a Christian moral code, but as moment‑by‑moment receptivity and responsiveness to Him. Discipleship isn’t just following the rules. It’s more about learning than performing – adjusting our course in response to His voice, His… Read More »

The name of God rendered “Jehovah Rohi” appears only once in Scripture – right at the opening of Psalm 23. “Jehovah Rohi” means “The LORD my Shepherd.” And David follows that name with a promise strong enough to anchor us in God’s care and steady any Monday: “I shall not want.” This is the truth… Read More »

The Lord has plans for your weekend. They may or may not be obvious to you, because the Lord rarely announces His work with fanfare. Instead, He weaves His plans into the ordinary – in familiar routines, small tasks, or simple conversations. What makes each day special in the Lord is not the spectacle or… Read More »

It’s one of the ironies of my faith: the confrontations meant to discredit Jesus wound up strengthening His credibility. For example, there’s an exchange between Jesus and the Pharisees in John 10 that begins with the Pharisees pressing Jesus about His identity and reaches a boiling point when He says, “I and the Father are… Read More »

We’re living in the golden age of step‑counting. Fitness watches chirp. Wristbands flash. Apps cheer us on with badges, streaks, and a little digital confetti.

The church is taking a beating these days. All the division we’re seeing – a lot of it political – piled on top of our own personal stuff. All the human flaws that dim the reflection of Christ to others. To the world, we may look more like a confused, angry crowd than ambassadors for… Read More »

“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” (John 20:29) As I sat with the Lord today, I realized I was experiencing that blessing – knowing Him and enjoying Him without seeing, completely by faith. And I can’t take any credit for that faith. It didn’t start with me. It started with Him.… Read More »

One of the special blessings of walking with the Lord is discovering, again and again, that He equips us for the very place we’re standing. Not tomorrow’s imagined pressures. Not yesterday’s regrets. Today. It’s the experience of His promise: “As your days, so shall your strength be” (Deuteronomy 33:25). God gives strength in the measure… Read More »

May the Lord wrap an extra blanket of His comfort around the shoulders of all who are remembering loved ones who perished on this unforgettable date 25 years ago. Our church family carries its own tender sorrow, remembering our beloved member Sarah M. Clark, who was among the victims on American Airlines flight 77 when… Read More »
