The Attitude of a Soldier

As many of us know, the Tomb of the Unknowns is a monument in Arlington National Cemetery that honors the unidentifiable US soldiers who died. It is guarded twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year. For the soldiers that guard the Tomb, it is an [...]

The Practice of Forgiveness

For many of us, the act of forgiving is a hard thing to do. By nature, we want to blame others for the problems in our lives, so we let problems pile up in our hearts, or we hold a grudge against someone for the problem they’ve caused us. But the real problem is within [...]

What’s in you?

I heard a story once about a talented organ player who was performing one night. He was moving beautifully through the music when suddenly he was struck by the Spirit of God, turned around, and started playing the organ backwards. The person telling me this story said that the organ player never missed a beat. [...]

Hurt, Hate, and Healing

How many of you have found yourself hurting lately? What about hurting and hating? When we hate, we actually hurt. Jesus wants to teach you to hurt without the hate.

Maybe a parent, a teacher, a Pastor, a mentor…remember how honored, humbled and (truth be told) a little scared you felt? Think about this for a minute: God, the creator of everything, has commissioned us to be His [...]

A Shore Thing vs. A Sure Thing

When everyone else looked out from the shore, they saw a never-ending ocean, ending in oblivion. It never occurred to anyone to ponder what was on the other side. Except for Christopher Columbus. When he looked, he saw what none of us saw. He saw the potential of another side, another day, another land. Another [...]

Pain, Pruning, and the Process of Peace

Many times, in relationships, there’s adversity that comes through a relationship—what I call friction—designed to prove the validity of what we say we have. “I do” usually is easier than “I WILL.” You don’t consummate the wedding on the honeymoon. The act of consummation is so fun, most people do it outside of vows. But [...]

The Power of Forgiveness

If you’ve lived on this planet for any length of time, you’ve been hurt at some point by a person. We all have been hurt before. One way or another, somebody has probably done or said something to upset you and hurt your feelings. Whether it was your spouse, kids, a best friend, or even [...]

People with Problems Aren’t a Problem for God

Ever feel like you’re problems are so unique to you, and so deep that God can’t get you out? Ever feel inadequate or unworthy of God’s love seeing you through?
