Clothed with Humility
And everyone, clothe yourselves with humility toward each other. God stands against the proud, but he gives favor to the humble. (1 Peter 5:5b) As I encountered this passage this week, the phrase “God stands against the proud” jumped out at me. I had heard this idea from scripture before. Similar ideas can be found in James 4:6 and Proverbs 3:34. Although a familiar sentiment, this idea seemed jolting this week. It almost seems like the opposite of God’s character…

Anticipation
My family and I just returned from our vacation to Glacier National Park. Usually, I am a planner and I get everything organized down to the last minute as to what we will do during our vacation. This always leads to the “planned anticipation” of what we are going to be doing each day. Well, this year wasn’t like that at all. Honestly, I wasn’t even anticipating the trip. We had just returned from Arizona from grieving my aunt’s death…

Joy and Peace!
“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy. I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” Philippians 6:15 Isn’t it a great feeling when you have a sense of inner peace, even in the middle of hard times? Things around you may be bad and well on their way to worse, but you feel secure on the inside, confident that God is in control and…

Lament Leads to Praise
16 Rejoice always. 17 Pray continually. 18 Give thanks in every situation because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) This passage, and many other scriptures, call the believer to always be in a frame of mind which leads us to praise God. The problem is that we don’t always feel like praise is on our lips, especially when things don’t go the way we expect. Many of you know that the pastoral team lost a friend last…
