Don’t you just hate some people? I was driving down the boulevard the other day, when I was cut off by someone who was clearly not paying attention where they were swerving. I barely had time to react before hitting my brakes and raising my voice. “Watch out, idiot!” Of course, then I had to answer to my 5-year-old middle child, who already takes on some of my more charming personality traits. “Daddy, why did you caww them a idiot?” I laughed a little to myself. “Well, they almost cut us off!...
Have you ever tried to build something that had very detailed instructions that came with them and didn’t use them? Unless you’re a brilliant engineer or something close to that, you probably didn’t put it together right, and it never worked as it was intended to, or you completely failed all together! When God created the universe and placed mankind in it, he created it to function in a way that works perfectly if the directions are followed correctly. But you know how we are; mankind has always thought he has a better way, and it alway...

Scripture references: Mark 5: 25-34 I saw a video the other day in which a man spoke about the many different ways people encounter Jesus for the first time. If you grew up in church, you were likely raised to understand Jesus as “Savior,” the One who forgives and ransoms us from sin. That understanding of Jesus as “Savior” is absolutely fundamental to our faith. So, it makes sense that this view of Jesus is the most common among “churched” people. But, what about those who aren’t raised in church? Growing up in church or having any basic und...
In Exodus 19:6, God gives Moses a prophecy about the future Israel, which is the church, in which He says, “you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.” I Peter 2:4-5 is the fulfillment of that prophecy which says, “As you come to him, the living Stone – rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him – you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Chris...

For the past few weeks, we have been bombarded by political commercials, polls, promises, debates, mudslinging and fighting. We will all have our fill of politics by election day next Tuesday. I have been studying the word politics to help me better understand this whole process and have found this interesting definition. The word politics comes from two words, “poly” and “tics.” “Poly” means many and “tics” means blood-sucking creatures …. Well, it may not be the right definition, but we might all believe this is true by election day. Ser...
The definition of hope is the desire with an expectation of obtainment or fulfillment. All of us have hoped for one thing or another with an expectation of obtaining that one thing or another. We have hoped for a better job, a better life, to make a best friend, to make more money, to have better neighbors, and to win the lottery (I’m still hoping!). Hope gives us energy and motivation to keep moving forward in this life to obtain those things we cherish. In the world of physics, Newton’s third law of motion teaches us that “for every actio...

Last week, I wrote about how God’s grace reaches us personally in every phase of our lives. God is constantly pursuing us because He longs for a personal relationship with each one of us. He demonstrated the depth of His love by coming to earth, living among us, suffering, dying, and rising again so that we could have the opportunity to be in right relationship with our Heavenly Father. We may never fully comprehend the sacrifice this took, but it was all done so that our broken relationship with God could be made whole. This week, I want to f...
This might be a question that many people will be asked in the next few weeks. Well, it’s really none of anyone’s business “who” we vote for. In this article I want to encourage us to be concentrating on “what” we vote for. In the US, there are approximately 268 million people over the age of 18 who are eligible to vote. Of that number, 212 million identify as a person of faith, and according to a recent study, 49% of that number claim that they do not plan to vote in November 2024. That means there will be 104 million eligible voters, who...
