Would I React Differently?

Sometimes we look at the people in the Bible and can readily see the mistakes they made, but sometimes I wonder if we'd do any differently if we were in their circumstances. If God promised that I would have a child when I'm so far past child-bearing years that I'm...

God and Science

Considering that God made the universe and all the laws by which it functions, anything we discover through science won't disagree with God. Sometimes scientists might overstep the boundaries of science and try to make assumptions in an attempt to understand more...

Making Disciples

Telling people about Jesus isn't just about them getting saved, it's also about making them disciples. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8) Jesus calls us not just to show people who He is so they can believe, He also calls us to teach them what it means to believe in and...

Last night during the sermon we talked about shore lights and lighthouses giving direction and hope in the dark and in the storms. A couple phrases stuck out to me, and they go well together. What you do when there is no storm in your life is important. Don't doubt...

Calling for a Friend

When we call for a nearby friend at need and they don’t answer, we go look for them. We go closer to where they are so we can call again and maybe see why they didn’t answer at first. But when we call for God and He doesn’t answer, we have a tendency to walk away....

Trusting and Responding at Full Speed

In the past couple of years I have regularly been around a few dogs. One of these dogs absolutely loves to chase squirrels. He could be sound asleep and if you whisper the word squirrel, he'll jump up and bolt for the door. This is what has gotten me thinking: this...
