If you’ve ever missed the Lord, you know how bad it feels. Maybe you felt a nudge to talk to someone about Jesus, but you let your fears get in the way. Or maybe you had a thought you rejected but didn’t even know until later that it was the Lord doing the leading. That’s… Continue reading God Gives Second Chances to Those Who Ask
Some say that it’s the lie of the enemy that we, as Christians, aren’t good enough. But while it's an accusation that packs quite a sting, it's not a lie at all. In fact, it's exactly what the Bible says about us. The real lie is self-sufficiency, that we can be enough in ourselves and… Continue reading When You Aren’t Enough, Jehovah Jireh Is
Sometimes God shows up in the most unexpected places. He puts out His hand, and there is no mistaking that He has once again intervened on your behalf. That happened to me this past weekend when I left an evening bridal shower and found myself in a dark parking lot. Later, when the realization of… Continue reading God Is Faithful in the Little Things & the Big Things
My story starts with a prayer and ends with me laying on my horn, my foot jammed against the brakes as hard as I could push. But it wasn’t the near-miss accident in the rain that was the really amazing part of this whole situation. It was the series of events that came between it… Continue reading The Hand of God Is on His Children

And when it does, the majority opinion is always the same: there are no good churches left in the world. None. There is altogether too much ear tickling, flashing lights, and pounding music and not nearly… Continue reading The Day I Let God Choose a Church For Me
Suicide is a rough topic. When it happens, it’s horrific. But even more often than people do it, they think about it. Some just toy with the idea, and some go as far as planning it out. Some really believe they want to die. Others just want people to pay attention to them long enough… Continue reading Suicide, a Teen, and a Priest on a Plane
There was a time not so long ago that doctors made house calls. Sick people never had to leave the comfort of their own bedrooms. Instead, medical professionals would travel the distance to treat patients and write prescriptions. Not many doctors make house calls today, but there is one who still does. Jesus has been… Continue reading The Cure For Depression: Jesus is My Medicine
Eye witness accounts are a powerful thing, especially today when fake news rules the day. It’s one thing to read an article or even see a video. It’s another thing completely when people you know and respect say something happened to them. For Christians, there are two types of testimonies. Both can go a long… Continue reading Two Kinds of Testimonies: Are You Telling Yours?
As children of God, we know that He is always with us. Sometimes we definitely see His hand, and sometimes we have to trust by faith that He is there. I heard a sermon once based on two verses in the Book of Psalms. It was about God in the sanctuary versus God in the… Continue reading God in the Sanctuary, God in the Sea
