Deity Becoming Humanity

There is something so other about Jesus Christ coming to us as a baby. It's strange, it's wonderful, it's holy, it's contradictory. God became human while still being God. Lately the weightiness of this has been on my mind. Jesus is God, and He limited His power and...

A Few Things to Remember When Life Gets Hectic

Stop and breathe several deep, deep breaths. Talk with God about the problem(s). Scream into a pillow if you need to. Go for a run, a brisk walk, or do some other exercise to get out the pent up energy. Jesus did not promise us lives of ease, but He did promise to...

Quiet Thankfulness

I see I've missed posting another Thursday, but this time I'm giving myself an excuse because I was enjoying a holiday with family and friends. That holiday was Thanksgiving, and I found myself having a nice quiet time. While having that nice quiet time, I felt...

More Notes of Encouragement

I've shared something like this before in Notes of Encouragement, and I wanted to do so again. Jesus went through suffering and He can relate very closely with us when we suffer. Christ's touch may vary, but His grace is always the same. There is no limit to the ways...

Tips on Running the Race

We're kicking off Missions Conference at church this week, and we've already had missionaries speak. Yesterday morning the first missionary taught from Hebrews 12:1-3 about running the race. The missionary reminded us that this race is not a sprint, it's a marathon....

Working Together for Good

Not everything negative that happens to us is because of Satan. God very often uses uncomfortable and negative circumstances in our lives to point us where we need to be. For example, when the early church was started (see the book of Acts), it was mostly hanging...
