I’m sitting by the window gazing at the mountains I love so. They’re snow-speckled now. And though the snow has finally been scraped from the streets, there’s still a thick, white blanket of it across our lawn. It’s beautiful in a pristine…spotless…perfect sort of way. Gone is the typical gray, cloudy haze that covers our … Read More about Oh, Snow!

The Word is Alive: The Power of the Bible for Real Life

I recently heard a sermon on Numbers 13-14, a passage which describes Israel’s spies who scoped … Read More about Acclimated to the Wilderness
The Worst Burden
If you’re just joining me, I sincerely welcome you, and invite you to join my discussion on authentic worship, and the obstacles keeping us from it. One such obstacle is friendship with the world in its various forms… and another is failing to take an honest inventory of my obedience to God’s commands. In my last post, I … Read More about The Worst Burden
The Worst Lie
So we’re still considering this matter of authentic worship… what it is… and what hinders us from it. In my last post, I broached the subject of friendship with the world.
