Jesus, Have It All
I recently listened to the song “Jesus Have It All” by Jeremy Riddle, and it struck a chord deep inside me. It’s been my heart’s cry for some time now. The song is beautiful, and a link to it is provided below. As I was listening to the song, I echoed its prayer: Jesus, Have…

Harvest and Thanksgiving
When I think back from my history classes about the pilgrims and their early struggles in the new world, I remember their first Thanksgiving. They were in a whole new world with people that didn’t look or act like they did. They were fish our of water so to speak. Some of the pilgrims sought…

God: Judge or Savior?
Recently in church, the speaker said that God is the Judge, but He would rather be the Savior. Is God the Judge, or is He a merciful Savior? The answer is Yes! He is both the ultimate Judge and the merciful Savior. Jesus left perfection and entered a human body, living it for 33 years…

I Was Wrong
Several weeks ago, I wrote about a song, The Goodness of God. In that writing, I mentioned that it was a great song, except for the line “Your goodness is running after me.” I couldn’t have been more wrong! Psalm 23 talks about the goodness and mercy of God running after us. It’s a beautiful…

Does Evil Reign?
The quick answer to this question is no! Evil does not yet reign on earth; God does. John 16:33 says, “I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you have trouble and suffering, but take courage – I have conquered the world.” NET God is in…

What’s The Point?
I got the dreaded jury summons. I prayed, “God, if I’m supposed to be on this jury, make it so, if not, please allow me to be excused”. I was put on a murder case! I knew it would be intense. There were two videos of the act. One an eyewitness phone video, the other…

Faithfulness
Psalm 145 is chock-full of the goodness and faithfulness of God. I encourage you to read it today; it’s not too long. Verses 18-21 say The LORD is near all who cry out to him, all who cry out to him sincerely. He satisfies the desire of his loyal followers; he hears their cry…

Leave it in my Hands
I’m sure you have heard Jesus whisper these words to your heart as I have. They are both comforting and terrifying at the same time. What does it mean to leave it in God’s hands? True, He is in control and He knows what He’s doing at all times. Also true is that I want…

The Body of Chris
I love it when the Body of Christ works together the way God designed us to. A family in need gets food and money to pay bills. A family who just had a baby is brought meals for a few weeks as they settle into the new routine. Another family who just lost a loved…

The Cross
I was meditating on the crucifixion the other day. I marveled at the strength it must have taken for Jesus to go through with it. We are told that in the garden of Gethsemane, he sweated drops of blood. This only occurs when a person is in agony to the point of death. Jesus knew…
