Many people are trying to find their way in the world. Many have become cynical and some live in fear. We may not be able to sing like David or preach like Paul, but as we follow Jesus, we can ‘walk the talk’ and we can simply say to the cynics and the fearful ones, …
Bad habits are hard to break. Some of our bad habits have a negative effect on those we love most. Instead of shining, we become dull to those around us. In our politically divided nation, I often find myself complaining instead of praying. Most of the things I complain about, I can’t fix. But God …
We all face struggles in life. We have a Father who can help. He never gets tired of hearing from us. God will hold our hand as we go through trials. We are His children. “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not …
It’s hard to fathom what Jesus did for us on the day of the crucifixion. It’s also more than remarkable what He gave to us at that time. We, who trust in Him, gave Him something, as well. We gave Jesus our sin, shame and regrets. He gave us His righteousness. What little righteousness I …

Recently, Max Lucado shared about a prisoner who carved these words on the wall of a concentration camp: “I believe in the sun, even though it doesn’t shine. I believe in love, even when it isn’t shown. I believe in God, even when he doesn’t speak.” What eyes could have seen good in such horror? There is …
