Why do we try to limit God?
I was pondering this morning, wondering why God doesn’t answer our prayers in the grand examples of the Old Testament, such as part the waters or rain down food for people to pick up off the ground, or even in the New Testament where the lame got up and walked, people with serious skin diseases were [...]
No regrets…
Of all the regrets I have, and a number of them swam through my mind this past week, I can say there is one decision I made years ago that I pray I will never give up on. After listening to the book of Hebrews on an mp3 yesterday and then today reading through the [...]
Is there a ‘Plan B’ with God?
Does God have a “Plan B” for our lives? If “Plan A” was a sinless life lived in the very presence of God (Genesis 1 and 2), was Jesus then “Plan B?” Or, was the entire process leading up to Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection “Plan A” all along? I’m not going to dwell too [...]
How can I walk with God if I can’t see Him?
How do you walk with God when you can’t see Him? I guess that’s why they call it “faith.” I just started reading a book titled: “Desiring God” by John Piper. It’s the 25th anniversary reference edition. I must admit I’ve not heard of this author before, much less the earlier title of the same [...]

God’s timing is not our timing!
I recently found this blog and have enjoyed reading it. Hope you do too!
How my daughter teaches me about God’s character
Ever since my daughter was born 10 years ago this week God has afforded me a glimpse into His character, more so than in the past. I use the word “glimpse” because, if you recall the story from Exodus 33 where God passed by Moses while he hides in the cracks of the rocks, Moses [...]
I found God in the men’s department
God’s reassurance doesn’t have to come in big moments or with an epiphany. In fact I found Him today in the men’s department at JC Penney. While thinking about what I’ll need for an upcoming job interview that I haven’t even got yet, the idea occurred to me that a new pair of dress slacks [...]
Discipleship: It’s about relationship
Last night I had the opportunity for the first time to see the Passion Play. Aside from the positive message presented in the play, what struck me most about the performance was the number of local actors involved and the ramifications that such a number of Christians equipped to share Christ’s message could have on [...]
