The Lord’s Return
When will the Lord return? Will it be soon? Will I be ready? As a child, I remember watching the Christian movie, “Thief in the night,” where I saw dramatized the vanishing of Christians and the horrible predicament of those who were not ready, who missed the rapture and now would have to face the persecution of the tribulation. I understood that the Lord could come back at any moment, and I had better be ready… or else. At some…
A Changed Life
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father — to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

The Verse that Almost Was
At the start of the academic year at seminary where I taught, faculty gathered together, and the president would share our theme verse or passage for the year.

This is what I found: Ezek. 36:20-23 – 20 ”And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy…
The Light
For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light. For the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. Ephesians 5:8,9 Do you ever have a day, week, month where you feel like you are in the fog? Searching for the light, it is there but hard to see. There are so many reasons in life where we as Christians…
Holy Listening
Then the Lord came and stood there, calling just as before, “Samuel, Samuel!” Samuel said, “Speak. Your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3:10, CEB) I admit in my life I have spent a lot of time thinking about the ideas surrounding a person’s calling. And of all the descriptions I’ve found, I love author Parker Palmer as he describes “This is something I can’t not do, for reasons I’m unable to explain to anyone else and don’t fully understand myself…
