I am continuously amazed at how my flesh wants to make God my project manager instead of bowing to Him as LORD. He is the very God whose words spoke all into being-from the vastness of the universe to the complexity of the human eye. He is the One who knit me in my mother’s […]
What a beautiful, simple, and powerful verse and prayer request! What impact would we have if every step we took was in line with God’s word? Each one a simple act of obedience to our Heavenly Father giving Him glory. How sweet that would be! When we walk on the foundation of the Word, our […]
It’s amazing how quickly we forget God’s ability to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine. We serve a God who has formed man with His hands, used pillars of cloud and fire, parted the Red Sea, healed the sick, and rescued us from and eternity of separation and yet we forget His […]
Have you ever had a situation that you that you couldn’t figure out? A sin you just couldn’t overcome? You may have read scores of books, listened to CD’s, consulted with others, but it just couldn’t be solved. That’s because more knowledge is not the answer. Paul, in His letter to the Ephesians, rightly concluded […]
Over the last few weeks there have been multiple confirmations that God was desiring for me to fast. With my wife away, my first thought was picking Something that would be easy for me to do, followed by the Holy Spirit’s infused conviction of picking something that is truly denying myself. In hindsight, in the […]
When I entered the highschool I was 4’11” and weighed under 80lbs. Can you say target? I thought having a senior as a brother would help but I was wrong. I was bullied by every grade except my own. They used to play ping pong with me when I walked down the Ag hall […]
The older I get the more I find myself in constant conversation with my Heavenly Father. I could be walking to the barn, grabbing the mail, or getting groceries and I’m talking aloud to Him. I’m sure some people around me believe I’ve moved into senility a little early but honestly it doesn’t bother me […]
Prayer and action are the one-two punch of fighting the good fight. We see this modeled in the life of our Savior. Jesus prayed by Himself, in community, before meals, before hearings, during His baptism, before His death, His ascension, before action. Prayer for Him was without ceasing and was a part of every action. […]
Our LORD is great and greatly to be praised! His voice is powerful. From creation, through the flood, and present day, He is King over all. Our minds can hardly wrap around this truth. Nothing is impossible with Him. From the microscopic to the monterous; all the universe; He holds it all together. This is […]
As a parent to 22 children, I can say I’ve seen a squabble or two. When you have broken people from eleven different families merged together, plus your own brokenness, there’s bound to be conflict. Recently my two boys were wrestling on the trampoline. It got a little rough; one of them ended up getting thrown […]
