God’s story

We are all characters in God’s story. The Bible helps us to see that everything that is unfolding around us (on earth, throughout the cosmos) as well as all that has taken place throughout history, has not been the respective stories of billions of individual people but rather the one singular story of God’s love,Continue reading “God’s story”

The privilege of declaring the gospel

What a joy it is to tell people of the peace and freedom that is available to them in Christ Jesus! All of us have particular needs, and the amazing reality is that God wants to meet these needs.

Can we trust Him?

Trusting means believing that someone will do something that they have said they would and that they have the capacity to do so. Trusting is about taking someone at their word and believing that they have the intellect, time, energy, strength and provision to make it happen.  This is the question of trust. This isContinue reading “Can we trust Him?”

What are you listening to?

Can I tell you that truly the joy of the Lord is my strength! This is a Bible verse and a true one. It is also my testimony. And it is also my proclamation of faith. Let me explain. In the Bible we read that Nehemiah encouraged the people not to mourn over the wordsContinue reading “The joy of the Lord is my strength”

Unclaimed Promises

Have you ever been to an unclaimed baggage store? It is an interesting experience. And it is remarkable the things that people have left behind. Some things are mere trinkets, others are more costly items that most probably were precious to the person who lost them. Have you ever thought about the lost promises ofContinue reading “Unclaimed Promises”

Wandering, seeking

So often in life we find ourselves wandering. Wondering. Seeking. Questioning. “What is next?” “What went wrong?” “What should I do now?” These are legitimate questions. And they come from a place of brokenness and desperation. This might feel like a dark and depressed place to be, but it actually might be the most perfectContinue reading “Wandering, seeking”
