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 [...]

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” -Jeremiah 29:11 We are … perplexed, but not in despair; … So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. [...]

Yesterday, Karen and I were looking out our hotel window and she pointed out that all the footprints that littered the beach were gone – washed away by the surf. It reminded me of how our sin is washed away as we live out 1 John 1:9 – initially as we receive salvation and then [...]
Fretters, Get Fettered

A few days ago, Leonard Sweet posted something to Twitter and Facebook that got me thinking. He posted: “Starting in ministry, I fretted we had the meaning but missed the experience.
