“He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” (Psalm 112:7) It’s snowing in Tennessee! The first beautiful snowfall in our area is happening right…
One thing I’ve been reminded of this summer is God’s never-ending newness. I can’t put it any better than G. K. Chesterton did in his book Orthodoxy: “Now, to put the matter in a popular phrase, it might be true that the sun rises regularly because he never gets tired of rising. His routine might be due, not to a lifelessness, but to a rush of life. The thing I mean can be seen, for instance, in children, when they find some game or joke that they specially enjoy. A child kicks his legs rhyth…
By Elizabeth Prata Sundays are a good time to ponder who God is. He is worthy of service and worship. Tim Challies has created a visual theology of God’s attributes. Remember, God’s attributes are …
The world we live in is changing every day. People’s thoughts, opinions and value systems can change similarly to the weather. As we know, the weather is rather inconsistent. Every day there …
Only those who love God can be led by God. Our time is precious to God. He reminds us to redeem the time and not give it to the world.
This post is part of the Five Minute Friday blog link-up. Where I join up with a community of writers and bloggers of all ages and stages who gather around a single word prompt to free-write, unscr…
This post was originally published in February 2017.–ed. We live in a world where morality is constantly evolving. Sins once frowned upon are now celebrated as liberating and legitimate. And those who consider themselves spiritual demand a god who is flexible and accommodating to our shifting moral standards. But the Bible teaches that God is
This post was originally published in February 2017.–ed. The only constant in the universe is change. At least that’s how it seems. We are always growing, aging, learning, and reflecting. Continual breakthroughs in science and technology alter the way we see the world. What we believed last year is easily modified or forgotten as we’re
There are times in our lives when God seems not to care, to be distant, to have abandoned us, and to have forsaken his promise to be a present help in trouble. We’re not alone. This was how many individuals felt throughout Scripture. It’s how Abraham felt as he questioned God’s faithfulness to provide a child. David struggled with the presence of God in Psalms 13, 56, 139, and many other Psalms as he wrestled with a theology of suffering. It was the experience of John the Baptist as he search…
I’ll be honest—there are many times that I have it out with my kind Father because I am confused about why He is allowing certain suffering, or how long He is taking to get people out of it. Sometimes it’s my own waiting that pushes me to frustration, while other times it’s growing weary in praying
So picture it, Moses is tending his flock somewhere around 1450- 1410 B.C. He’s coming close to Horeb the mountain of God. He notices a burning bush, but it’s not burning up, so he̵…
The love of God is likely one of those mysteries this side of heaven that we will wrestle with until we are in the presence of Him who is Love Himself. There is absolutely no human way to comprehend the enormous … eternal … all-encompassing … never-wavering … unconditional … love of God. And yet
Have you ever heard that “bigger is better” or that “smaller is insufficient?” Some think that size makes a difference. And there may be tim…
The 2021 SoCal Harvest is your unique opportunity to gather with others and bring hope to those who need it most.
This world is getting more permissible for just about everything except godliness. So how does the Christian live by God’s standards?
This post was first published on July 27, 2016, and originally appeared as a part of a blog series titled “Compassion.” –ed. The God of Scripture is the one true constant in all the universe: “I, the Lord, do not change” (Malachi 3:6). His nature and His thoughts are as immutable as His eternal plans.
God always does what He says. God’s character is perfect, and He is perfectly faithful. God’s word and His promises are guarantees you can always count on
The purpose of remembering is to keep us from being myopic & to help us focus on living a righteous life informed by the past but not held back by it.
Take shelter under His goodness as you keep your eyes peeled for the miracle hidden in everyday moments.
Even though I know that autumn doesn’t officially begin until later in the month, somehow the early days of September herald the beginning of fall, don’t they?
