Love

My Love (Photo credit: Jennuine Captures) God’s Love Is Unconditional One of the most amazing things about "God’s love" is that it is extended to us when we do not deserve it and continues steadfast and strong even when we do not respond to it. In other words, His love is unconditional. That certainly is different … Continue reading Love →

Keep Not Quitting July 5, 2017
It’s been hard, oh, I know that. It’s been humbling and it has felt like nothing is working and it’s all uphill and you’re wondering why you even bother.

Verse of the Day - 1 Thessalonians 4:3 April 3, 2020
It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality...—1 Thessalonians 4:3Thoughts on Today's Verse...Sanctified surely does sound "churchy," doesn't it? It means to be special, reserved for God's use and glory, and not common. We are to be an uncommon people! This is especially true in steeri […]

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.—Ephesians 4:2-3Thoughts on Today's Verse...Effort, sweat, and dedication seem to have become the profanity of western Christianity. To our age of grace-abusers, the Holy Spirit reaches out with his t […]

“How the Reformation Rediscovered Happiness”

But the gospel “signifies merry, glad, and joyful tidings, that make a man’s heart glad, and make him sing, dance, and leap for joy.” For “since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand” (Romans 5:1–2). And so, we can join with Tyndale and Luther as they laugh from the bottom of their hearts — as they rejoice in their righteousness.

Sex For The Right Reasons
You probably know I’m a big fan of sex in marriage. However, I think having sex for the right reasons is important.

My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. — 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV The Scriptures don’t provide the specifics, but we know that the apostle Paul struggled with what he referred to as a “thorn in [his] flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:7).

Family Fume: Speaking in Love
One spring day, I sat in my backyard with my friend Suzy and our kids. While we relaxed in lawn chairs, sipping lemonade, a few of the children played on the swing set.

Be Enough
I sat across the table from my dear friend, tears streaming down my face. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me,” I said, trying to regain my composure. “The kids are healthy.

Welcome Whatever Keeps You from Pride
If we are in Christ, then suffering cannot interrupt or interfere with his love for us. Even our worst trials are forced, through his powerful and loving hands, to serve our good — to draw us nearer to him, to strengthen our faith to endure, to prepare us to comfort others, to expose and uproot our remaining sin, to carve out deeper, stronger wells of joy in […]

Corona Cannot Prevail Against Her
These may be unprecedented days in our lifetimes, but they are not unprecedented in the life of the church. The church has endured such suffering and uncertainty before, and much worse, just by way of pandemic, not to mention persecution.
