I saw this post on Instagram six weeks ago and still can’t get it off my mind. It has been fact-checked. Enjoy. In 1912, John Harper, a 39-year-old evangelist, was on the Titanic, to travel to the Moody Church in Chicago. However, the journey took an unexpected turn when the ship struck an iceberg and […]
Last week I posted about a portion of Psalm 103 HERE that struck me about the brevity of life compared to eternity. This week I thought about the verses more deeply. AN EXCERPT FROM LAST WEEK… 15The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; 16the wind blows over […]
I read Psalm 103 recently. It is beautiful and worth reading slowly. A book could be written about each verse! In my most recent read, however, two bits of this psalm jumped off the page and into my heart. So much so, that I have been talking about them and pondering them as I drive […]
It’s August 25, the last Sunday of this summer. Summer’s been hot! Many of us are looking forward to the first morning when we step outside and smell it — you know what I mean — when we smell the first hint of fall in the air! It disappears as quickly as it arrives, but […]
For all us Christ followers out there, we have some Olympic athlete decisions to make. Do we hide Jesus under a bushel, or do we put in on a stand for all to see? “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a […]
I say the Lord’s prayer almost every day. When the disciples asked, “Lord, teach us how to pray,” in Luke 11:2-4, and Christ offers the same prayer example He also offers in Matthew 6:9-13, it makes sense that we pay attention. I did an in-depth series nearly ten years ago in October 2014, and one […]
I love historic land. There is historic land near my home on which a week-long revival takes place every July. The first revivals took place in the middle of circled covered wagons. Today the revivals are held in an open pavilion in the middle of circled cabins. I don’t know how much longer good ol’ […]
It’s been raining a lot. In my part of the country, there has been a daily rain shower every afternoon. Several days ago there was a downpour that started just as I began my trek home in rush hour from deep within the city. I had to pull over two times on my way home […]
I am fascinated by moments in time. For every person on earth there is an almost sacred moment in history that was hand-selected by God for us to born, like 5:56 a.m., 6:13 a.m. and 2:51 a.m. for my children. For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven… (Ecclesiastes […]
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. (Psalm 34:18) I have been brokenhearted. Those that have been following me for a while know I suffered a broken heart in my mid-twenties when three events occurred in rapid succession that culminated in the death of my brother, Dan. I […]
