Lenten Devotions: Swords
"And He said to them, 'When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?' They said, 'Nothing.' He said to them, 'But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak...
Lenten Devotions: The Value of a Fall
"[Jesus said] 'Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.'" (Luke 22:31-32 ESV) Almost everyone has an episode...
Vines and Sap

One Man’s Junk – Part 2
One man's junk is another man's treasure. Last Thursday we discovered through my 17-year-overdue basement-cleaning process that what is junk in our own eyes is nothing but a diamond-in-the-rough from God's perspective. He doesn't see us as junk; rather, He sees us for...
Moments, Days, Years
"These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full." (John 15:11 ESV) When I was a young man I had a lot of ego and very little empathy. I thought I knew everything. I looked forward to fame and success. I can even remember...
