I was struck this morning by the response of Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego to Nebuchadnezzar. They declared with confidence that their God was able to save them from the fiery furnace, but then added these words, “But even if He does not…” The outcome didn’t impact their faith—their belief that the God of Israel was […]

There are many theological words and concepts found in Scripture that have instigated great discussions and debates, but sometimes it’s the little words that give us insight into the character of God. I’ve been reading in Isaiah and Isaiah’s message to the nation of Israel isn’t very encouraging, but it is very accurate. “These are […]

Recently I read these words in Proverbs 19:21: “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” There is probably no greater evidence of that than Easter. Man’s plans were in the shouts of “Hosanna” as the crowds welcomed Him as their long- awaited king. Their plans were […]

“Mercy triumphs over judgment!” James 2:13 This is certainly not your typical Christmas verse. In fact, I’ve never once heard anyone preach on this or share this during the Christmas season. But as I read those words this morning, I was struck by the fact that the fulfillment of those words came in the form […]

This Christmas season I’ve been watching episodes of the Christmas Cookie Challenge. It’s amazing what they are able to create from cookie dough. I tend to stick to the usual familiar Christmas cookies—family favorites that may never win a prize but are enjoyed each year by the people that matter to me. One of the […]

In my early teen years, I repeatedly heard the message that I should have regular devotions—I should spend time reading my Bible and praying. It was a familiar and frequently stressed focus of youth group and youth camp. And they were right, I should do that. And so I did, faithfully—for a few weeks after […]
