When Comforts Are Taken Away
Sometimes God gives us great experiences of Him. Every sentence of scripture is bursting with life and our prayers are vigorous and we feel very passionate for God. Other times God takes away our spiritual feelings so that we learn to rely on His word and His promises more than feelings. William Gurnall says: God in wisdom [...]

10 February 2010
For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that [...]

30 November 2009
METHUEN, Mass. — A Massachusetts woman who recently separated from her husband, had her hours at work cut, and moved into an apartment, says an image of Jesus Christ she sees on her iron has reassured her that “life is going to be good.” Mary Jo Coady first noticed the image on Sunday when she walked [...]

Maybe body surfing was not such a good idea. Tropical storm Danny had just passed by and the waves were approximately the size of bulldozers. But being the adventurer that I am, I found myself atop a boiling wave accelerating toward the beach. Suddenly the wave flipped me over and did a Hulk Hogan atomic leg [...]

20 July 2009
“I don’t know what God wants me to do with my life.” “I’m not sure I’m in the center of God’s will.” “What if I miss what God has for me?” Christians often talk about God’s will like it’s the rare and elusive Blue-Tailed Eastern Moon Moth that might suddenly flit out of the forest the [...]

Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” [...]

30 March 2009
In February of ‘64, watching the Beatles’ American debut on the Ed Sullivan show, I sat transfixed, as if I were seeing live footage of a newly-discovered mastodon. I decided to learn guitar, perform to screaming throngs of teenage girls, and run through the streets of Liverpool trying to escape said girls. With great excitement I [...]

3 July 2008
This year let’s celebrate July 4 as DEPENDENCE DAY. Before we fire up the grill and fire off the bottle rockets, let’s pause and remember our dependence on Christ for life, breath and everything else. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, [...]

5 October 2007
To meditate on God’s word means to think about it, ponder it, roll it over in your mind, and try to apply it to every area of your life. But what does this look like practically? Here are a few practical ways to meditate on God’s word. Write as you read. Writing out [...]

4 October 2007
You can tell the substance of a person’s character by how they respond to trials. My grandma, who is now with Christ in heaven, was a prime example of this. For sixteen years she endured terrible joint pain as a result of rheumatoid arthritis. Yet I never once heard her complain against [...]
