Day 29: Resurrection

We don’t have to wait until Easter to talk about resurrection One of my favorite verses of Scripture is John 12:24, “Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”‭‭The context for this verse […]

Day 22: Results

Doing the same thing will get you the same results Depending on our goals and aspirations, the way we go about things may vary. The process we take in achieving where we want to go and what we want to do in life leads us to the results we ultimately have. Results may vary also. […]

Day 15: Resilience

One of the realities of life is that trouble does not go away because we turn the page on the calendar. We can name it, claim it, blab it, grab it, call it, haul it, we can anoint 2022 in as much oil as we want, but the truth is, this year will be as […]

Day 8: Restoration

Another chance is one of God’s greatest gifts. Many people make New Year’s Resolutions that involve them taking on new challenges, creating new vision boards, wanting to do this, wanting to do that, and they are oblivious to the reality that there is quite a bit they did not achieve from last year’s list. One […]

Day 1: Resolution

Jesus: Silent Night

Here is a special Christmas edition of the Advent series Jesus. This post is from Christmas Eve 2019 entitled, “Silent Night.” The reason for the season is that Jesus was born to reconcile; that is His ultimate purpose, He reconciles us to each other and to God. Jesus is the Mediator between humans and God […]

Hope is the alternative to what we see. When life takes a turn that we did not expect, hope offers a new route, a new chance, a new expectancy that something good will come out of this. There is nothing wrong with hope; hope is the anticipation that we will be surprised at the arrival […]

Jesus: Obedience

If I had to describe Jesus’ characteristics, qualities, personality, whatever word you would like to choose, I’d for sure use the word “obedient.” In today’s culture obedience seems shunned upon; it’s not rebellious enough, nor is it the latest fashion. But if faith—or a better word, trust— is a seed, then obedience is the soil […]

Jesus: Vulnerability

God loves us enough to be vulnerable. Today is the first day of the 2021 Advent season. Advent is observed on Sundays, starting November 30th (if this is the last Sunday in November) and ends on Christmas Eve. It is not simply the celebration of the birth of Jesus, but each Sunday in December we […]

What to Do After Giving Thanks

“What can I offer Yahweh for all he has done for me?” — Psalm 116:12 I can truly say this has been my favorite thanksgiving season. I’ve repeatedly shared with you how 2021 has been a trying year for me, but struggle is what makes us aware of all God has done for us. Struggle […]
