Trust Me
“C’mon, man. You can trust ME.” You’ve probably heard those words a time or two, haven’t you? “Trust me”. Whether spoken by a fast talking used car salesman, a slick politician, or a guy who is trying to put the moves on some unsuspecting chick, words which should carry some of the greatest worth are…

Hiding Behind God
Every so often I read or hear a statement that really trips my trigger. And I just bet you do, as well. I recall hearing someone recently say, “Christians are always hiding behind their God.” Isn’t it amazing? Like, is there anything wrong with that? Everyone uses someone or something to hide behind. It may…

The Operation
If I were to explain to you how I felt, sitting in the Doctor’s office that day, I’m sure you’d understand. Everyone has moments like I was having; pain, uncertainty, confusion, loneliness. I was grateful for everything I’d been given, all I had accomplished, and for the opportunities which were before me. I was…

Day Seven
Ever Present God You are not alone. Even though you may not see or feel anyone near you, God is close by. And His presence can be your confidence and strength. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the…

Day Six
Meditate the Word The Lord gave Joshua everything he needed in order to fulfill all he was called to do. And, basically, it came down to this simple instruction: meditate the Word of God. “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so…

The Faithful God “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations…” (Deuteronomy 7:9 ESV) I love this description of God: the faithful God. He keeps covenant; in other words, He can be…

40 Days of Promises
The Lord let us know, through the writings of the Apostle Paul, that the things which happened to people in the Old Testament happened not only for their instruction, provision, and discipline, but also for ours: Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they…

Can God Be Trusted In The Dark?
Why does our faith vacillate so much when life changes on us? When the sun disappears behind dark and threatening storm clouds? We say we trust the Lord, that he is able to do anything, yet we become a nervous wreck when things don’t go as planned. We say he’s good (all the time) but…

Everyone Believes Something
Faith is an interesting thing. Everyone has it, though not everyone realizes it. But everyone lives by that which they believe. It’s easier to see it in others than in one’s own life. A person’s faith will grow or shrink; but they’ll always have faith. It may become “NO FAITH”, but it will never be…

Mary Magdalene’s Morning
I got up early, after a fitful sleep. Over and over, throughout the night, my mind replayed the horrible sights and sounds I witnessed a few days earlier. I begin my walk of mourning, to the place where my heart was buried. Jerusalem had been very busy for several days, with the Passover feast and…
