Work While You Wait
Much of the Christian life consists of patiently waiting in faith for God to fulfill his promises. We wait for God to answer our prayers to provide. We wait for God’s timing to give us wisdom. We wait for the Lord to direct us into our vocation in life. We wait for God to provide [...]

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was (JN 11.5-6). These two sentences seem to contradict each other. The first says that Jesus loved his friends. Yet when he hears of Lazarus’ serious illness, rather than [...]

It was 1 a.m. when the neck spasm began. Intense pain, slowly pulling my neck forward. I hauled myself out of bed, took some ibuprofen, and lay on the couch in the living room.

I hate to wait. I’m such an American. I want my burger now. I don’t even want to get out of my car for it. I want my kids to be godly this very second. After all, I’ve got things to do…. And yet I’m constantly being forced to wait. My doctor has a waiting room, which [...]

22 October 2007
It began with a cup of coffee for the road, as I headed out a few minutes late for the Pittsburgh airport. But daydreaming, I drove the wrong direction. I was probably wondering why cows always seem to face the same direction. Ten minutes into my drive I suddenly jolted into reality and realized I [...]
