A Story of Grace – Where It Begins

It’s interesting listening to what different people say about their experiences of it. I remember being in a small gathering (small in the number of physical occupants, but significantly bigger in other aspects). Someone started singing the hymn, I Stand Amazed. I had heard the hymn a number of times before and was fairly well […]

Soften Your Heart

Apparently nobody wants to be gullible. It’s good to be smart and not fall for anything. At the same time, though, in that bid to stay ahead of the pack and not fall for anything, there’s also a move towards cynicism that suggests it’s not good to stand for anything … other than an approach […]

Alive and Risen

He suffered, bled and died. They saw it. They thought all hope was lost … But … There was victory in His death. For on the cross He took the sin of the world upon Himself so that peace could be made with the Father. It certainly did not look like victory to those mourning […]

About The Warm Up Act

I was just thinking about Luke’s prologue in his gospel account, […]

I Wasn’t Expecting That From …

Uncharacteristic. Interesting word, that. Often heard when someone does something that you really would not expect them to do. Often used in the negative. What I love about the gospel of Jesus Christ and indeed the entire narrative of scripture with God is how He takes those you wouldn’t expect and makes them do the […]

This Is What He Wants

This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For,  There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. (1 Timothy 2:3-6) It would be one of the biggest lies of my […]

Make An Informed Choice?

Do we even have the desire to spend the time exploring what is needed to be properly informed? What am I talking about? First of all, you need to know this question emerged from another great conversation I had with a very dearly loved friend. There’s a place that we meet on a fairly regular […]
