God equips us so thoroughly to step into our calling that we're often surprised by the fulfillment accompanying it.

God equips us so thoroughly to step into our calling that we're often surprised by the fulfillment accompanying it.

Did Jesus get tired? We know that God the Father neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:4), but did Jesus as the Son of God and the Son of Man suffer physical fatigue? In John’s account of the Samaritan woman at the well, we read about her “happenstantial” meeting with Jesus. “Jacob’s well...

If we think we know God, we probably have another "think" coming.

If we think we know God, we probably have another "think" coming.

Understanding the complex character of God is one of the believer’s big challenges. The God of the Old Testament seems harsh and unyielding in contrast to the New Testament God of love and grace. This has created such dissonance that many people prefer placing their study focus on the New Testamen...

Luke 9:12-17 records Jesus feeding 5000 men with five loaves of bread and two fish. The result was that all ate, everyone was satisfied, and the disciples picked up 12 baskets of broken pieces leftover. Luke didn’t give much detail about the precise way Jesus did this except to say, “Taking the ...

In contemplating the "heart" of man, what would be some of the most important things to find there?

Growing families often move residences one or more times to find the additional space they require. A larger house generally means more bedrooms and baths, more storage, and more kitchen cabinets. There is something very gratifying about moving from cramped conditions into what feels so much more sp...

Only God has mastered being so conventional in an unconventional way.

Only God has mastered being so conventional in an unconventional way.

Artists are often thought to be a little peculiar, so in college I took advantage of being an Art Major to be unconventional. My clothes were splashed with my current projects: pottery mud, paint, or ink, and sometimes blood from the slip of an X-Acto knife. I generally wore the same clothes through...

Jesus had a profound way of challenging societal norms.  When it gets personal, it can be (almost) offensive.

Have you ever had the experience of offering to do something nice for someone who instead of thanking you, immediately began making demands regarding the gift? An offer of service might be given a hard deadline along with strict performance requirements. An invitation to a meal could lead to the nec...

In making judgments, which wins: information that comes through your senses, or revelation that comes through Holy Spirit?

When our grandson was six, he wanted to gift and wrap his own Christmas presents. Many of his gifts came from his collection of “treasures” that ranged from snail shells, to ordinary small rocks, to weathered glass fragments. His unique wrapping method consisted of half a roll of wrapping paper,...

Where great effort has been put into deconstructing Truth, it's time for believers to identify and deconstruct the lies.

Most of us are very familiar with the account of the Fall of Man where Eve was deceived by the serpent into eating forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It is tempting to judge her harshly for so easily believing the words of the serpent, but he was cunning

The beginning of a new year is a good time to assess the influences on our lives and discern their goals.

The beginning of a new year is a good time to assess the influences on our lives and discern their goals.

One of our boys came home from elementary school with an unusual challenge he tried out on me. He said, “I bet you can’t stand in a corner and not think about a black bear.” My immediate reaction was that was silly, because I never think about black bears unless I encounter one on our

The God of wonders is always up to more!

The God of wonders is always up to more!

Most of us very familiar with the Christmas Story of Jesus’ incarnation marvel at what God did, and give no thought to a possible alternative story line. We have the advantage of Biblical history that specifically fulfills prophesy. But those who originally received these prophesies could only gue...
