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. We’ve invented pianos, violins, synthesizers, and whatever that thing is they use in sci‑fi movie soundtracks – but nothing beats a voice.

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 »

Remember: God isn’t transforming us to make us more lovable to Him; He is cleaning the windows of our spirit so we can clearly see how loved we already are. He is clearing away the lies of the evil one about God’s character and His intentions. He is removing the grime of well‑practiced, destructive self‑talk.… Read More »

There was once a man who kept a small wooden table in the corner of his house. It wasn’t much to look at. The legs were uneven. One corner was chipped. Years of cups and plates had left rings and scratches across the surface. He always meant to sand it down, stain it, make it… Read More »

Have you ever noticed how often Jesus’ most dramatic moments of ministry happened during “interruptions“? On His way to heal Jairus’ daughter, He paused to restore the woman with the issue of blood.
