Wounds and the Being

I've talked about things like this before, but it's always good to talk about them again. An injury or a wound can happen in a number of ways and because of a number of things. You and I can be visibly physically wounded, and we can be wounded in non-physical ways...

Why Do You Believe What You Believe?

Take a look at the things you believe, the things you are fully persuaded are true. Whether these things are religious, scientific, or otherwise, why do you think and feel that they are true and real? Do you really believe them, or are they just comfortable to you?...

Just Right Is Not Necessary

Yesterday morning in church a specific line stuck out to me: The Holy Spirit doesn't need everything to be just right in your life for Him to do His work through you. We were talking about Paul the apostle and how he had a prison ministry, but from inside as a...

A Few Reminders

Always Ready

In a sermon in Hebrews 12 a few weeks back, the preacher talked about a young man he knew who loved to run cross country. This young man was so committed to it that he made sure he was healthy and ready to run all the time, not just the time coming up to a race. He...

A Bit on Church

Sometimes we forget that going to church isn't just about us needing church, it's also about church needing us. Each and every member of a church needs all the other members of that church, just like all your body parts need all your other body parts (Romans 12:4-13;...
