Going Against Logic

Sometimes God calls his faithful to do things that go against logic. In the case of Obadiah in 1 Kings 18:1-20, he was asked to do something he thought would get Elijah killed. Instead it set up a show down that revealed God’s ultimate power. During a severe famine, Obadiah is helping Ahab scrounge for […]

Does God Believe in You?

There are those who say God does not exist, but that doesn’t mean he ceases to exist. God continues to reign whether people deny Him or not. He remains as the creator of the world, the creator of you and me. No matter how elaborate the scheme to deny that there is no God; no […]

Everyday Trust

Everyday we place our faith in things without even giving it a second thought. If the weather forecast calls for rain, we grab an umbrella or raincoat. We press a button for an elevator expecting it to take us to our floor. We make travel plans having faith that the train, bus or plane will […]

When is Quitting an Option?

It’s hard to remember what prompted me to make that first post which started me on this blogging journey. To be honest, I would have quit posting years ago if it was up to me.
