A life among the weeds

As the Lord plants good seed, the enemy plants his weeds.  While we must navigate life today with this infiltration of evil, we can rest on the promise that the future day of harvest will banish those weeds forever.

Loaves, fish and souls

This Christian life is about surrender, which will require that we give everything to God.  This expectation of generosity and willingness to let go should not make us nervous or bring thoughts of scarcity and need.  God's abundance is revealed when we abundantly surrender all to him.

The opportunities faith creates

Some of us wait too long for the Lord to gives us clear confirmation after clear confirmation before taking that step.  Faith just might require us to move much sooner than that.  Let us pray for a change in us, that we would create opportunities to serve and honor God instead of waiting for them to come our way. 

Await God’s abundance now

There is an abundant life awaiting us on that Day, but we also have an abundant life to live now.  Regardless of what you see or how you feel, regardless of how long you have been waiting for prayers to be answered and life to change, press in and learn to live in God's abundance now.

Let us commit our ways

The word is clear. If you commit your ways to the Lord, He will establish your plans. He did it for me. He can do it for you. The book that has been on my heart to write is now complete because of him. Just like that, He made a way. You can check it out at the link below.

Mosaic: a man in pieces

The limits of horses and chariots

Where do you place your trust?  Whether life is going well or has become an utter nightmare, where do you find your security?  If we think for a moment that we are sustained by any of our worldly possessions or achievements, we should think again.  Those have never paved the way to everlasting life.

A measure of hope

Our hope is not in this life or in this world, but do we all have the same measure of hope in our future promise?  Do the circumstances of this life guide our measure of hope?  Do they change how willing we are to let go of this life?  Should they?

The value of a life

They got it right.  The shedding of innocent blood cannot stand.  But this battle is not yet over.

The Lord’s joy

The joy of the Lord is to be our strength, but what is it?  Have we experienced it?  Can we define it?  We certainly need his joy in this world, and if it is a source of our strength, then we must know how to find it.

Everything we really have

Where do we hang our hope?  Who do we seek in our need?  What fuels us to face our days with purpose and honor?  What gives us our sustenance and support?  Is there not one place, one person to fulfill all these?  Do we not already have all we need in him and his kingdom?
