Because everyone loves a good story
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.
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!
When Spring Is Underground
Did you know we just passed the Vernal Equinox on March 20? Now the days will be getting longer and warmer. Praise the Lord! But where I’m at in Michigan, we still have some 20-degree nights in the forecast. That doesn’t seem too festive. It’s hard to celebrate spring when you’re shivering.
The same holds true when you pray for a miracle. See what God’s been up to in the life of my littlest love in the NICU.
Led Through the Dark
We were made to be creatures of light. During the dreary days of winter we feel that even more keenly, don’t we? Darkness isn’t good for us.
But Isaiah 50 reveals an aspect of darkness that I hadn’t noticed before. See what God says about those who presume to make their own light.
2021: In These Certain Times
It’s 2021! Do you feel completely different? If you’re anything like me, today feels like waking up on your birthday. You’re a year older and wiser, but it’s hard to tell.
Today’s post celebrates certainty “in these uncertain times.” Whether 2021 finds you elated, deflated, or simply waiting, read on for some encouragement.
Happy New Year, friend!
Aslan and Anastasis
We’ve all heard about the most crucial 18 inches…those between your head and your heart. What can bridge such a mighty gap? I propose that two of the most powerful channels are story and song.
This week’s post celebrates the resurrection of Christ by looking at a powerful song and a timeless tale. Do your heart a favor and take a look.
So That You May Believe
The death and resurrection of Lazarus is one of the most familiar stories in the New Testament. It was even well-circulated back in Lazarus’ time! Coming back to life after being dead for four days causes quite a stir, let me tell you.
At church on Sunday I heard this story from John 11 once again, and it helped me think more clearly about Jesus. Today’s post is a retelling of the story. Whether your faith is feeling fine, flimsy, or far away, consider giving this story a read. And, for bonus points, spend some time in John 11 as well. You won’t regret it.
