Waiting for the Right Redeemer
Rather than seeking a redeemer to bring us justice because we think we are right (and God is wrong), we need to seek The Redeemer who brings us mercy because we know God is right (even when we don’t understand).
God’s “Eighteen Wheeler”
Sometimes, our suffering and limitations seem like that eighteen-wheeler bearing down on us. Actually, however, that suffering can be a vehicle of our loving God, purging out of our lives the evil one who is determined to ruin us.
Cross-Cultural Cross; Unmatchable Cost
If traditions can’t save us, then traditions can’t keep us saved. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about keeping up appearances…
Giving is about the Giver

Waiting Room
Anyone who has ever lost patience and pulled an unripe apple off the tree knows firsthand the price of being too hasty. All things have been appointed a time to begin, a time to grow, and a time to be fruitful. This is an inescapable reality of our world, regardless of how inventive we get with altering our environments or distracting our minds.
M-O-T-H-E-R
“M” is for the million things she gave me…
Before You Follow Jesus…
…we cannot follow Jesus if we are preoccupied with our selves, our own agendas. Likewise we cannot follow Jesus if we fail to accept the challenges/trials God puts in our lives.
