The Lord sees things that we don’t see. I know that seems pretty elementary. I mean we all know this, but we don’t all believe it. We say things like “God’s ways are not our ways” or “God sees things we can not see,” but inside we still want to be able to understand God.Continue reading “Dry Bones”

To The Woman Who Feels Unseen
To the Woman Who Feels Unseen: I see you. I’ve stood where you’re standing right now. You’re struggling. You’re doing your best to keep your head above water, but you feel as if you’re drowning. There are responsibilities you have to handle. There may be kids you have to take care of or a jobContinue reading “To The Woman Who Feels Unseen”
A Tale of Two Seas
There are two “seas” in Israel. Actually, there are two lakes in Israel that somehow got the title of sea in their names, but I digress. These seas serve as a wonderful picture of the potential of our life with God. The Sea of Galilee lies in the northeastern part of Israel between the GolanContinue reading “A Tale of Two Seas”
Freedom Strategies
Ever put a puzzle together? You probably have a strategy for doing it, right?

Wilderness Lessons
Ah, the wilderness. We’ve all been there…that time in your life when you seemed to be stuck in a spiritual desert. The wilderness is not a fun place to be.

Bread of Life
Have you ever tried to give up carbs? Or maybe just give up bread? If you are anything like me, it was a nightmare experience. I love bread…and cheese…I just can’t imagine life without them. I think the early Christians would have felt a lot like I do. Bread was important to them. Bread hasContinue reading “Bread of Life”
Confession Unto Faith
We know the words that we speak have power. We usually think of this power in terms of the ability to hurt or to heal. We think about the saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” We’ve all heard the saying. We may have even repeated it ourselves,Continue reading “Confession Unto Faith”
Going Deeper With God
The Christian life is supposed to be a transformed life. If no one can see a difference in your life from before you were saved to after you were saved, there’s a problem. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are made new. We’re supposed to consider ourselves dead to sin andContinue reading “Going Deeper With God”
Communication
Communication has got to be one of the hardest things about marriage and about relationships in general. It requires skills in both transmitting and receiving. That’s hard enough, but add to that the fact that all of us filter information through our own mindsets, worldview, beliefs, and past experiences, and you have a recipe forContinue reading “Communication”
Helping Your Kids Handle Stress
As adults, we tend to minimize stress in children. We often say things like, “What could you possibly be stressed about?!” That’s because we think of stress only in terms of the things that we face in our lives as adults, but stress is much more complex than that. Stress is anything that causes theContinue reading “Helping Your Kids Handle Stress”
