Today I found the Good Friday story in a surprising place. And, as is often the case, when we find something in an unexpected place it seems to have more impact. I’ve been preparing for our Good Friday service so I’ve been very focused on the events leading up to the Lord’s death, and I’ve […]

I love the Bible! I love the fact that after years of reading familiar Scripture, suddenly the Lord will reveal something new and exciting. That happened to me in my quiet time this week. I was reading words that I’ve known since I was a little girl – words that are often read at Christmas […]

I just read these words this morning and found such comfort and encouragement in them: “For You alone know the hearts of all men.” (1 Kings 8:39) I have spent the last few days dealing with some painful issues with someone. Over and over again I thought, “If they just knew my heart.” If they […]
