Eternity Etched in Temporal Sands

In celebration of National Poetry Month, I am reposting some poetry. I walk along the ocean shore Footprints formed in the sand Behind me each step is erased As the waves pound the shore . Thousands before me Have walked this very shore Every trace of their steps Washed away by the waves . Ships […]

#WednesdayWalk — Hope for the Forsaken

I strained to get a look at the man, but the mass of people made it difficult to get closer. I could barely make out what he was saying to the crowd. I thought he said something about being comforted. I tried to push my way forward, but the people were packed in too tight for me to move any further…

Walking the Dusty Road of Life with Christ

What was it like to be a disciple with Jesus; to hear the crunch of rocks under your feet as you walk the dusty roads with him; to hear his voice as he spoke to the crowds that followed him; to witness the miracles? What was it like? Imagine being in the boat when the storm arose (Mark 4:35-41) and feeling panic as the boat fills with water.

Doing Everything God Commands Us to Do

Noah’s obedience to God was built on a life of faithfulness to God even when surrounded by a world saturated with evil. This helps me understand Noah’s determination to finish building the ark.

Finding Hope in Chains

This Paul has knowledge of a god seemingly so powerful, yet so personal that he prepares him for future events. What kind of god shows such love and grace to a mere man?

The Thorns That Pierce Our Arrogance

It is not in my own abilities that I find the strength to manage hardship, it is in humble reverence to God that I find strength through Jesus Christ. When I am beaten down and worn out, that is when I am most open to the power of Christ within me.

When Jesus Asks Us Not to Remain at His Feet

As much as we desire to stay at the feet of Jesus and worship him, sometimes he asks us to not remain there. As much as we enjoy the fellowship of other Christians, God calls us to go beyond the walls of the church.

Calling Jesus to Follow Us

We often think of Jesus calling people to follow him, but do we think about people calling Jesus to follow them? Like Levi, we should invite Jesus to follow us into our lives and the people we know.

Bringing Jesus into the Boat

It’s humbling when God shows up and proves our doubts were wrong. It’s embarrassing when we realize we put all that effort into something without inviting Jesus into the boat. Yet Jesus patiently invites himself into our boat, teaching us his ways.
