Resurrection and the Life
This weekend, we celebrate the most important holiday in the history of Christendom. Easter. Or as some prefer to call it, Resurrection Sunday. This is the day we recognize that Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, rose from the borrowed tomb, conquering death, thwarting Satan’s plan, and ushering in a New Covenant and way to come to God. Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me.” Even more directly, How COVID has affected us
Stoke the Flame
Do you remember when you felt God first working on your heart, convicting and letting you know how much He loves you? Maybe it was at church camp, VBS, CIY, De Colores, an Emmaeus walk, a random Sunday morning, or a walk you took in the woods. And you responded by surrendering your life to Him and becoming a Christian. The first days and weeks of our new faith walk are exciting. We are on fire! Which is ironic because How COVID has affected us
The Heart of Worship
1 Samuel 16:7b: “…The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Sometimes, I think we can get caught up in the how of worship – the songs, the prayers, the rituals. But what really matters, at the heart of it, is the why. You know, the Bible talks about worshiping in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). That’s not just about feeling emotional or getting How COVID has affected us
Beatitudes – Source of Blessings and Comfort
Often when I am feeling discouraged about life, I remember the Sermon on the Mount. There, Jesus talked to the people about blessings. Not blessings for the most noble, noticed, or honored among people. But heavenly blessings for the meek, humble, sad, merciful, righteous, and persecuted. These are blessings that are promised to us. I pray that they give you the same comfort that they give me.
