The Cup: A Good Friday Meditation

Harry Potter, Personally: Concerns
Harry Potter has been around for over 25 years. Surely concerns about the series are old news, right?
For many people, I’m sure that’s true. For those of us with young children, however, it’s still worth analyzing what we believe about the books and their impact before letting our kids read them.
In this post, I give you my opinion about four common concerns and end with a takeaway that applies to all of life.
Thanksgiving at Christmas
Today I want to nominate three popular Christmas movies as Thanksgiving movies instead. They seem to have nothing in common at first glance, but upon further inspection I think you’ll agree that they’re the same story in different settings.
Join me for a quick look at how we can celebrate Thanksgiving at Christmas!
God Uses Boneheads
Have you thought about the caliber of people God uses to accomplish his purposes? Not exactly cream of the crop, are they? Or should I say, “we”?
See how God uses an Old Testament patriarch despite his flaws, and be encouraged that He can do the same with you and me.
When Aslan Rights the World
If your heart ever breaks for the brokenness in the world, take heart–the King is coming.
Aslan gives us a small but beautiful glimpse into the justice and joy that will reign when Jesus returns.
How Beautiful the Feet
Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.'”
In meditating on Good Friday and Easter this year, I wanted to write a poem celebrating the One who came to bring good news–the best news of forgiveness and life. I hope you’re encouraged to worship Him even more deeply. Have a blessed Easter, friends!
