I keep calendars on the side of the refrigerator for two months at a time. On them are written all the events our family needs to know about in order to make plans. I really enjoy these calendars. Not only are they practical, I have blogged HERE that they provide cause for reflection and praise. […]
Does God rescue us, help us run, or help us walk? Which does He do most frequently? Earlier this year, Tony Evans gave the best teaching on Isaiah 40:31 that I have ever heard HERE, and I cannot get out of my head the three ways he presented about how God shows up when […]
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. […]
How is the resurrection of Jesus Christ different from other resurrections? I had so much fun looking up other resurrections from the dead that occurred in the Bible in preparation for this year’s Easter post. Enjoy them with me before we conclude with the answer to the all important question at the top of this […]
Where was Jesus on this Saturday between Friday and Sunday? This year I have been on a purposeful search to find the answer. I was surprised to learn that just like many struggle to fully explain Christ’s cry on the cross on Good Friday discussed yesterday (HERE), Bible scholars also disagree about where Jesus was […]
This post is published at 3:00 in the afternoon on Good Friday EST because the Bible says: About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). (Matthew 27:46) I have been planning on writing about Christ’s cry […]
What is your current list of burdens? Finances? Health? Joblessness? Family dynamics that cause the walls of a house to feel like they are closing in? Concern for family members? Wondering about the future? We are burdened as a nation, even more so this week as self-quarantine guidelines lengthen and increase in restriction. How then, […]
COVID-19 has changed all of our lives. Around the globe, each of us has changed our lifestyles based on quarantine measures imposed on us by local or national government decisions, and guidelines offered by organizations like the CDC in America, or the World Health Organization. We have each decided how to respond. Some are taking […]
I must confess I have said a few times this week, “This doesn’t even feel like the United States.” As schools and jobs move online, malls close, and grocery stores empty, life is surreal. Feels a bit like wandering in a wilderness. There aren’t many people who would pick living in the wilderness over living […]
This week brought so much change to so many people around the nation. Like many of you, my job went online. My son’s schooling went online. I had to go to several stores to find soap. Stores usually stockpiled with plenty are looking empty. Is this the United States? It feels like things have changed, […]
