To Forever in the Future . . .
A prayer of Moses, the man of God: “Lord, you have been our help, generation after generation. Before the mountains were born, before you birthed the earth and the inhabited world- from forever in the past to forever in the future, you are God.” Psalm 90:1-2 This is the only “song of Moses” in the Psalm, but there are two others (Exodus 15 and Deuteronomy 32) as well as the blessings he gives the tribes of Israel, also in Deuteronomy.…

Hope for 2021- This is the Way
Comfort the discouraged. Help the weak. Be patient with everyone… Rejoice always. Pray continually. Give thanks in every situation because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:14b, 16-18) As we close out what will be a year that most of us will never forget, I have felt the Spirit challenging me to evaluate all the reasons we have to be hopeful about the coming new year. Here in this passage, as the Apostle Paul moves…

Biblical Obedience: Love + Trust + Action
“If you love me, you will obey what I command.” John 14:15 (NIV) Let’s pause and think back to the first Christmas. Have you ever stopped to put yourself in Joseph’s shoes? Here was a guy who found out his fiancé was pregnant, claiming she was visited by an angel and it’s God’s baby. And she wanted him to believe her! In an instant, Joseph’s whole world was turned upside down. This was not the way his life was supposed…
