God’s Timing is Perfect!
It absolutely amazes me that God is a God of timing! Although He’s not subject to time, He works within time to fulfill His purposes. There was a “right time” for Jesus to be sent to the earth. Although He existed in eternity, God’s wisdom sent Him at just the right time. He was not…

Childhood Memories of Advent
For as long as I can remember back, as a child, our family observed Advent: the preparation of the days leading up to the celebration of Christmas; Christ’s birth. An advent wreath was in the center of our dining room table from the beginning of December through Christmas Day. We would light the candles as…

What Shall We Do Then? [Pt. 3 The Essence of Worship]
34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like…

START HERE!
THIS IS A “MASK FREE” ZONE! Which means, we check our masks at the door and walk in the reality of a life of faith that is sometimes, messy, disappointing, not easy to understand and FILLED with questions.

Love’s Key That Can Open the Door of Your Heart
Father. Son. Holy Spirit. Three in One. God is One. Father and Son. Not employer and employee. Not teacher and student. Not president, or prime minister, or dictator. But Father and Son! So profound that the Godhead is identified as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. A truth we rarely even notice. Holy Spirit is Comforter, Counselor,…

Seasons
“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV As we anticipate the coming of fall…come quickly, my heart is stirred toward winter, my favorite season.

When Men Despise Your Worship
The anointing at Bethany. Many believe the woman who entered the room was Mary, the sister of Lazarus. The account in John 12 identifies her as such. The other Gospel accounts don’t mention her name and it says they were at the home of Simon the leper. Details for a scholar most likely, but our…

[Note: For the sake of distinguishing the Father, God from the Son, Jesus, in this article, the Father, God pronoun will be capitalized and the Son, Jesus, pronoun will be lower case, but in no way meant to diminish His deity.] Like Paul, I count all things, rubbish, compared to knowing Jesus.
