Psalm

There is a poetic Psalm that God will use to speak into any emptiness. Our Father commissioned the Psalms, to touch, transform, and transport us as we walk through the valleys. As we luxuriate in His Word, we discover we are not alone. His supernatural way is to enable us to love ourselves, and others…

Distraction Deceives

We have been rightly warned repeatedly in Scripture “Do NOT be deceived”. Like many in the early churches we are convinced that we are doing well. But are we? Revelation 3:2 “Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.” Jesus…

Fishing for Joy

The bait dangled by the liar is that life will be better after we go on vacation. Happiness will be ours after we finish that project, graduate, get the dream job, or when we retire. Sorting through life’s tackle box of events, we grow to realize that God does not pause ⏸️ in His goodness…

Going Dutch

The phrase “going dutch” means to share in the cost. A teen memory from the 60’s floated in with joy. A group of us went to Santa Cruz Beach for an entire day. Between us we had about $3.50 in our cutoff jeans. After hours frolicking in the sun, we pulled into a Diner. We…

Phyllis Wheatley

Phyllis believed in the God of the Bible, a remarkable overcomer. Unusually bright, the Wheatley household recognized her potential and she was encouraged to read and write. In 2 years, Phyllis mastered English and amazed everyone as she learned Greek and Latin. This angered Boston scholars. She never earned a dime for her poetry and…

Stunning Truth

The one true God who spoke a trillion galaxies into existence, that same God knows your name and longs to hear from you. Father God wants you, not a shallow act of religious loyalty. He wants to be called Dad, not your honor. God is not insecure. He does not need our praise to feel…
