Do you ever test the strength of God? I mean that in a good way, btw. Not in the I’m going to hurl myself from this mountain and see if He catches me type way. (Have we learned nothing from the 40-day temptation? Not even Jesus did that!) No, I mean… have you ever woken up on any … [Read more…]
We live in a time when information is easily accessible. If you have a question, an answer is a Google search away. In many ways, this simplifies our lives. In many other ways, it complicates them. For those of us seeking Christ, we have Christian programming, articles, sermons, music, testimonies and multiple interpretations of any … [Read more…]

Our pastor taught us that saying “He is risen!” and replying with a “He is risen indeed!” was actually a very popular greeting used by the early church. They must have found such comfort in that…as we do now. Where would … [Read more…]

(That sounded way more like a weight loss program pitch than I intended but anyway)… It’s been almost a full year since my last post, the one about being 40, which means my goodness!…I am … [Read more…]
