When it comes to the subject of rest, believers in Jesus Christ should be having a phenomenal experience every night, unless you have a newborn, in which case you have a glorious reason to be awakened several times by little baby sounds and hunger cries. And, there is also that sacrifice of slumber due to …
I rolled out of bed this morning still feeling heavy from last nights dinner. Smash-burgers, topped with jalapeño pimento cheese and served with a side of potato wedges fried in beef fat will do that to you. I hit the shower at 5:30am and was sipping a cup of Sumatra before the day dawned and …
I am presently meditating my way through the book, Everyday Glory: The Revelation of God In All of Reality, by Gerald R. McDermott. The author’s primary goal is to point out “types” of the gospel that exist in all of creation, for all of us to see, all the time. This is one of those …
I noticed a young woman reading her Bible at the Panera where I was studying. After getting my coffee refilled, I stopped by her table and told her how it encouraging it was, especially these days, to see someone privately reading the Word of God in a public place. She smiled, said “Thanks” and then …

Home is supposed to be a secure, comfortable, and joyful sanctuary. It’s every family’s headquarters of ministry to others which includes, usually, having other folks over. Our houses are our home …
During the judgement plagues of The Exodus there was light in Goshen while the rest of Egypt was subdued and threatened by the gloom of darkness. Movement came to a stop. That meant work and play and normalcy was temporarily over due to the hand of God. These days Christians find themselves in this same …
A few years ago I was given an assignment by my presbytery to lecture on, How To Have Perfect Peace. Lucky for me there is a place in the Bible that actually addresses that—Isaiah 26. So when the time came I stood up and said, “Well, the way to have Perfect Peace is to: trust …
I grew up during the last vestiges of the Cold War. Once upon a time, we all lived with the dread of Mutual Assured Destruction:Russia and America threatening to fire nuclear missiles at each other. As a public schooled kid we practiced ‘duck-and-cover’ drills where, when the alarm sounded, we all left our seats and …
