The Superheroes You’ll Never Know

There are certain people I have met in my life who have inspired and challenged me. They are not rich and famous, nor are they well known to the public. They are for the most part ordinary people living life in obscurity, but living for the Lord Jesus. Their accomplishments won’t show up in the […]

Cold Rejection

There was a chill in the air as I watched him take a draw from his cigarette. The tip glowed orange-red in the dark of the parking area as he inhaled. A white cloud of smoke and warm breath, illuminated by a nearby streetlight, emerged as he exhaled. “You don’t know what it’s like to […]

Speaking a Foreign Language of Truth

They can’t hear because Jesus speaks the language of truth while the devil, “the father of lies,” speaks his native language of lies. The truth and lies don’t mix. They are totally different languages.

The Family Tree of Life

We are born with an earthly family yet as Christians we are children of God our father. Romans 8:14-15 tells us, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” We are adopted into the family of God so we can cry, “Abba, Father.”

Morning Praise: Humble Servant

“Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.” (Nehemiah 8:6, NIV) Praise you, oh God. Praise your holy name. Praise your good works. Thank you for the love and grace you […]
