When you think about laws, you may think about civil laws. You may think about traffic laws or criminal laws. You may not think so much about natural laws or scientific laws. The truth is that laws exist all around us. They govern the universe. They govern society. Laws are things that hold true everyContinue reading “The Law of Faith”

The Little Things
When we pray, we often tend to focus on the big things. We have no problem turning to God in prayer for things that seem too big for us to handle. When we have a diagnosis that changes our lives, when our marriage is on the rocks, when our children are straying, when we justContinue reading “The Little Things”
Memorial Day
If you live in America, like me, chances are that you are spending your day today home from work, cooking out with your family in celebration of the unofficial start of the summer season. Today is Memorial Day in America, and while most of us don’t give a passing thought to what this day isContinue reading “Memorial Day”
Homemaking: Meeting With God
There are times in my life when I get discouraged about my spiritual walk. There is so much to do around the house and so much to do with raising children and homeschooling that I feel like I just sit down to pray after getting everyone to bed and I fall asleep myself. Cue thatContinue reading “Homemaking: Meeting With God”
Planting Your Garden: Pulling Weeds
Last week, we talked about planting our gardens by discussing the kinds of seeds we allow to be planted in our hearts. We discussed how not only is it important that our hearts contain the right kind of soil–good soil, willing and ready to receive the seeds that are planted in it–but how it’s alsoContinue reading “Planting Your Garden: Pulling Weeds”

Planting Your Garden: Sowing Seed
Seeds are a wonderful thing. They contain everything needed for a plant to grow. All the nutrients that baby plant will require are contained in that tiny little seed. Plant a seed in the wrong place–like a crack in a rock–and that seed will grow into a plant that can break the rock apart entirely.Continue reading “Planting Your Garden: Sowing Seed”
Growth Is Seen From a Distance
Living things are supposed to grow. It’s in the design. Doesn’t matter if we’re talking about plants, animals, or people. All living things grow. The rate of growth is different for each living thing. Some things grow incredibly quickly. Some things grow incredibly slowly. Sometimes we barely notice any growth at all. Sometimes we can’tContinue reading “Growth Is Seen From a Distance”
What’s in a Name?
There’s just something about a name. A good name is memorable. It has an image to it, a power. As important as names are to us, they are just as important to God. We barely get into the Bible without coming across the concept of naming things. In Genesis 2:20 we read: “So the manContinue reading “What’s in a Name?”
