Last Sunday, during our adult Sunday School class, Brad was teaching on Jonah and asked us what our “GO TO” Psalm was – you know, the Psalm that you read, claim, or think about when things aren’t going well. You see, when he was in the big fish, Jonah went to the Psalms as he [...]

I read this yesterday and it’s been ruminating ever since: Because he [Jesus] himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

This whacked me yesterday: “What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all!” -Romans 3:3-4 Now, replace the “faith” references with love, hope, peace, grace, forgiveness, kindness,…you get the picture. God is so unlike me. Hallelujah, He’s unlike me! Maranatha!
So yesterday, the People of the Second Chance posted the new Tiger Woods Nike ad on their website and asked for “one word” thoughts about it. If you haven’t seen the ad, here it is: To their question, I posted the following: One word: Leverage “We are not ashamed of our scars, wounds, or failures [...]
