It is amazing that we have This Book. Through it runs the Crimson Thread of Redemption, God’s great love story. The writers through whom God spoke had no tools to help them like we have today. Think about all that was done with just primitive pen and parchment, to convey God’s great plan and God’s …

How Good It Is
Water. It’s vital to life. In fact, our bodies are 60-70 percent water. We cannot live without it. It’s not surprising that Jesus used water as an analogy for what we can have through Him. “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out …
The Power to Change Everything
The woman was caught. Interesting that they did not bring the man before Jesus, but only the woman, who was discovered in the act of adultery. One can see how it might have unfolded – the woman, probably in a disheveled state, likely not fully clothed, being thrown down in front of Jesus – the …
Guard the Good Deposit
We guard things that are important. When you read that sentence you may have thought about a guard at a bank, or perhaps the Secret Service detail, or guards outside Buckingham Palace. We guard people and possessions deemed to be of great value. Celebrities often have bodyguards to protect them from ardent fans and paparazzi. …
Eternal Life is Now

Whenever we do something in keeping with God’s character, he is pleased. We need to meditate and think on that. From the commonplace to the sublime – from the meal that we prepare for our families, to the songs we sing to Him, to volunteering at a soup kitchen. Anything done as unto to the …
In the Basket
I ran across a dog tag that was made for our dog, Lucy, as I was rummaging in a basket of odds and ends. I had a pang of guilt that it was not attached to her collar. But then I remembered the history. We did try at times to attach a tag with her …
Every Joint
Did I catch your attention with the title? Good! Now that I have you, think with me about a Scripture. The Apostle Paul is encouraging the Ephesians to whom he is writing. He is describing how God gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers to equip the saints for ministry, and to build up …
The Mundane Middle
I want you to think about two extremes. First, think about the best day of your life. Take a moment to savor the feelings and bask in the memory. Now, conversely, I want you to think about the worst day of your life. Don’t stay there too long, but think back to the strong emotion …
Walk On
I asked for, and received, a “Fitbit” for Christmas. I wanted it primarily for tracking my daily steps. I know there are apps on the phone that will do it, but I don’t always have my phone on me, so I thought this would be a more practical way of tracking. What has amazed me …
