Who doesn’t love a good story? We resonate with stories we tell and share and those described well by a good book or movie. Summer is when there can be an opportunity to dig into a good book again. Some flexibility might come with the summer schedule or extra leisure time outside or on vacation, and you take it as a chance to catch up on your reading list. If you lost track of your Bible reading…

The founders of the United States of America risked everything to form a nation that would be different from any other. Independence and freedom were their goals, and many believed they were fools for taking on a world power like Great Britain. Our war for independence was won. A person could say that independence is woven into the fabric of our nation and a part of the DNA of every citizen. We…

2 Corinthians 5:17-21: “So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of…

It’s a picture that we are all somewhat familiar with even though churches have changed throughout the years. It is a picture of the little church in the country with a tall steeple, white paint, a small sign sharing their service time and Sunday school time. And then just next to it, a graveyard. People who used to worship at this church are now buried six feet below the ground. For many people…

Who remembers the days, maybe back in high school, when we would all chip in money for gas? Man, it seemed like $5 would get you around all weekend. Not so much anymore. This one time a group of us were on our way to the gas station for a weekend excursion. I don’t remember what we had planned, but I’m certain it wasn’t good. Anyway, the station was in our sights, the car chugged, and we ran out…

Have you noticed that when you go into a store, the workers often are wearing a name badge? And sometimes the name badge also tells their position? They not only tell you who they are, they tell you what they do. God has done something similar for us today with His Holy Spirit. Jesus named the person and also the work of the Holy Spirit as He taught His disciples shortly before He died: “When the…

Faith, science and philosophy were once kindred spirits chasing this same goal but from different approaches. In the Middle Ages, theology was considered the queen of the sciences. God's revelation in the Scriptures provided the foundation upon which all other…
