“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” The Peace of God will guard your hearts and minds… Doesn’t that give you a warm fuzzy feeling?

Straining Forward…
It would be so easy for me to worry about what has happened in my life. Up until last Wednesday I was a called pastor, and that was my reality for the last 5 years. You see yesterday was the first Ash Wednesday in 5 years that I was not leading a gathered body ofContinue reading “Straining Forward…”
A Journey Begins…
40 days for a journey to bring us closer to God… Many of us will be giving up something for Lent, I remember the one year I gave up all coffee drinks for Lent. Maybe not so hard, but the church I was attending worship at was a coffee shop… I felt that as othersContinue reading “A Journey Begins…”
Fast for the Lord
“Shout! A full-throated shout! Hold nothing back-a trumpet-blast shout! Tell my people what’s wrong with their lives, face my family Jacob with their sins! They’re busy, busy, busy at worship, and love studying all about me. To all appearances they’re a nation of right-living people-law-abiding, God-honoring. They ask me, ‘What’s the right thing to do?’Continue reading “Fast for the Lord”

You Fool!
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly exhibited as crucified! The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law or by believing what you heard? The Galatians are relying on worksContinue reading “You Fool!”
Speak no evil
Treat everyone with courtesy and respect, speak evil of no one to avoid quarreling. Do not gossip, or fight with anyone, because this is not what Christ has called us to do. Because all of us do this naturally. It is self preservation, and we try to build ourselves up and to do this weContinue reading “Speak no evil”
