  • Where is God? In the Details

    I was reading through Numbers 6 and 7 a few days ago and learned this… God is in the details. God was in the details of creation, God was in the details of the tabernacle, God was in the details of the sacrifice, God is in the details of our lives, God is in the…

    When I was still living at home, my parents decided to remodel their kitchen. They decided that they really liked tile floors and called the tile man. I still remember how careful the tile guy was to be sure that he was laying the tile on a smooth surface. Every few minutes, I’d see him…

  • When God Gets Lost

    I know this probably isn’t the most perfectly “spiritual” question to ask, but does God ever seem lost to you? When you need Him most, does that ever become the time that He seems the furthest away? For me, sometimes it seems as if I think I’m doing everything right. (as if I could earn…

  • Testify!

    Remember when churches used to have testimony times? Times for the congregation to give testimony to what God has been doing in their lives. The truth is, God is good. He’s been good to us. There’s certainly something that we can all testify to that God’s done in our life recently. For me, He’s given…

    Matthew 15:33 The disciples replied, “Where would we get enough food here in the wilderness for such a huge crowd?” Instead of looking at what’s in front of you, look at the capabilities of the God that is with you. You have more than you think. More than you see. More than you can manufacture.…

  • The Promise, Not the Profit

    It’s much easier to say than to do. To put our confidence in the character of God and the promises of God more than what we immediately see is tough. It’s where faith comes into play. It’s where we do what doesn’t necessarily make sense. Today, I’m trusting in the promise and character of God,…

  • 6 Lessons From Acts 9 (Part 2)

    Yesterday, I posted about 6 lessons I learned while reading through Acts 9 a few days ago. These are some really applicable lessons, no matter who you are or what you do. I thought they deserved a little more explanation… 1. Significant impact is often made by ordinary people with extraordinary potential. No matter where…

  • Wait. NO!

    I very well could be the most impatient person in the world. I’ve never liked waiting. No matter what I have going on or how much or little I have to do, I always tend to be in a hurry. Lines don’t make me happy. Traffic makes me mad. Slow people get me frustrated. It’s…

  • The Wishbone Principle

    It happens to all of us from time to time. Some may see it as what it is, others may be a little more naive. It may be the work of the enemy, it may be the work of the flesh. It’s that thing that tries it’s best to pull us from God. I’ve always…

  • The Power of Purpose

    Quick post today, but here’s what’s on my mind… Anyone that has been in church for any amount of time has heard a statement similar to this: “God has a purpose for your life.” I think we often hear that, process it, and move on to the next thing. However, think about that statement again.…
