Another Monday has arrived right on time, but it isn’t the same as last Monday – or any Monday before it. This day has never existed until now. Nothing is exactly as it was. You aren’t exactly who you were. Last week left its fingerprints on you, and everyone around you is carrying their own… Read More »

My wife and I lay awake in the early morning darkness today, and she mentioned her concern for a family member. I felt that same concern rumbling in me. We’ve talked, we’ve prayed, we’ve offered what wisdom we have. At this point it feels like we’ve tried just about every option we know, and none… Read More »

“Jesus stopped and said, ‘Call him.’ So, they called to the blind man, ‘Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you’” (Mark 10:49). As we begin this week in a world full of noise, motion, and competing demands, it’s worth pausing to remember this simple miracle: Jesus stopped. For one person. And then He invited… Read More »

We hear the phrase all the time, “God loves you.” It’s one of those truths that gets repeated so often it can start to sound like background noise. We nod at it, we agree with it, but sometimes we don’t really let it sink in. So today, I want to shift the emphasis. Not God… Read More »

I know this is just my personal opinion, but I don’t think there’s an instrument on earth more beautiful than the human voice.

And He carried it out not in ease but in sacrifice, in suffering, in a steadfast commitment that would not turn aside. Now that… Read More »

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). There was a time when this verse felt like a… Read More »

I’m in a reflective place today. I’m not restless, and I’m not striving. I’m simply awake to the abundance I’ve already been given in Christ. I feel a longing for more of what I already have, to explore what I already know and to appreciate what God has already done in my life. There come… Read More »

Nothing that happened yesterday, and nothing that will happen today, is beyond the Lord’s ability to use to make your relationship with Him even more precious than it is right now. A gold vein of opportunity runs through the walls of every place you’ll stand today. Everything is in play. Nothing is wasted. Every mood.… Read More »

Have you ever been stuck in one of those massive, maze‑like parking garages? You keep circling the same ramps, passing the same pillars, feeling more disoriented with every turn. But then -finally – you spot that bright, unmistakable EXIT sign. And in an instant, your shoulders drop. You breathe again. You have direction. My relationship… Read More »
