Changing Seasons

9/15/2022

 
Picture
​September is half over, and the brisk air of fall is upon us. As the seasons change, I am reminded yet again how much the natural world is a metaphor for life. Life has its different seasons that look and feel unique. Within each life season there can be high points and low ones. Sometimes the transition from season to season can be somewhat obscured and extremely gradual or it can be extremely abrupt and traumatic. But once you get to a new season, it’s obvious that a new chapter has begun.

New Things in a New Decade Requires Renewed Faith

8/11/2020

 
Picture
​It’s been over four months of crazy.  Four months since we’ve been able to walk around and see people’s faces.  How did what initially started out as two weeks of quarantine morph into four months of chaos?  Now we’re on the other side and stepping into a brand new world.  A world where everyone tries to maintain a six-foot personal bubble.  A strange landscape of masks, face shields, and sanitizing wipes.  Gone are the days of hugs and handshakes, and in their place are social bubbles and endless Zoom calls.  What is this world coming to?!

Then Came the Morning

4/12/2020

 
Picture
​Our world has changed dramatically over the ages, but one thing remains the same:  after every sunset comes a glorious new sunrise.  After a period of darkness, light shines anew.  This is a constant truth both in the physical world and the spiritual one. Out of the stillness of that first Easter morning came the cry of victory as the ground shook and the stone was moved to reveal an empty tomb.

Step Into the Opportunity

4/7/2020

 
Picture
​Now that we’ve gained the correct perspective on fear, faith, and trusting God, let’s talk about the doors God is opening in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Don’t bemoan what we’ve temporarily lost.  Rather, look around and see what God is doing during this time. 
 
We are in an unprecedented time, and, therefore, it is an unprecedented opportunity for the Church and Christians to step up and fulfill our calling to be the hands and feet of Jesus.  To be the place where truth is proclaimed and hope is given.  To be the people of faith who rise up and say, “Our God is in control and is calling all people to Himself.”

Suffering:  God's Magnifier

3/14/2020

 
Picture
​Suffering.  It’s all around us.  You see it on the faces of people you pass at the grocery store, see it in the stories posted on the news and social media, and see the pain it causes in the lives of those you know and love.  We live in a broken world, but it can be hard to make sense of all the pain and suffering we see and experience.  How can a good, loving Father allow us to go through hard times?  As born-again believers, shouldn’t we be free from the ravages of a sinful world?  If God is truly sovereign, why does He allow us to walk through suffering?

New Year Reflections

1/21/2019

 
Picture
​As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been doing a lot of inner reflection and prayerful pondering since 2019 began.  Last year brought a lot of change in the lives of people around me and great spiritual growth in my own life.  God has revealed and confirmed a spiritual gift in my life and grown in me a greater heart for ministry.  But overall, I have to say that the biggest thing the Lord has given me this past year is a greater burden for people.

Dear Faithful Reader...

1/18/2019

​The New Year has come and the novelty of it has worn off.  The holidays are over and the dust has settled from the season’s craziness.  Life is starting to return to its normal routine.  But my blog has been extremely silent. 
 
Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten you.

Life and Growth:  Spiritual Application of a Fundamental Principle

6/5/2017

 
Picture
As we continue to march through the days of June and prepare for summer, I look outside and am astounded by the abundance of greenery and beauty that accompanies spring and early summer.  The songbirds have returned from their winter migration and fill the skies with their graceful aerial acrobatics and complex melodies.  The deer and other wildlife have little ones by their sides, and the trees are budding forth with new leaves.  All these speak loudly to me of one thing:  LIFE.

Your Life Matters—Live it Well

3/30/2017

 
Picture
Life.  Death.  Fleeting days.  Unending eternity.  These are all topics that we’ve covered so far in our three-part mini-series on the brevity of life.  However, by this point you may be thinking, If life is so short why can’t we just enjoy it?  Or What sort of difference can I possibly make with my little life and why would it matter?  Why can’t we spend life loving the Lord and longing for heaven?​

Life’s Brevity and Eternity’s Enormity

3/25/2017

 
Picture
​“It’s not the years in a life, but the life in those years.” So states this widely known and used maxim.  While its original author is unknown, this adage utters much wisdom and perspective on the priorities of life.  People from most walks of life, both Christian and non-Christian, have resonated with this concept, hence the quote’s popularity and broad usage.  However, while the latter clings to this as the one thing that matters, the last hope, and the end goal, the Christian recognizes a deeper truth and meaning.

    Guest Post ~ When Stories Collide
    Stories are strange things. Because it isn't the big, important people who are usually the main characters; it's not the sunny, lovely days that move the story along. It's the little people who become the heroes. It's the disasters that cause the quest.  Read more
