Thoughts on growing in Christ likeness.
Episodes
-
Love AND Justice
As unjust as Christ's particularly hideous death, that is the extent of our injustice against God.
-
Doubt like a Mustard Seed
What does it mean for us, and what does it say about God, when the rains don't come and the grass shrivels and dies? Is He enough, always?
-
Joy in the Pit
I wonder how many answers we miss because they look like Relationship instead of taking the shape we expected: a husband or a child, a healing or a job, or deliverance from some temptation or relationship.
-
Cherishing the Little Years: A Rabbit Trail
Are [our kids] an inconvenience? I know we would never say that, but if they knew the word and its meaning would they recognize it in our tone, schedule, and priorities?
-
Hope That Kills
Did you know you can drown in a sea of hope?
-
Lent
A challenge to pause in gratitude.
-
Longing
We are far too easily pleased.
-
Always Faithful
I felt that one hard kernel of truth: God saves an entire nation from destruction, but He doesn't rescue Esther from her situation.
-
Resting in Unanswered Prayers
Why does it feel like God's not hearing us when our prayers aren't answered the way we'd like?
-
The Mercy of Consequences
While it is a great mercy to experience the consequences of our sin, it is not enough to restore us. We must also confess. There is no grace or forgiveness in the shadows, in secrecy, in denial, or in private promises to do better.
-
Praise
The way through the waiting is in walking side by side with Christ; and the way back to His side is through praise.
-
When Broken Things Don't Heal
Sometimes we mourn what was and should have been, and there is nothing in the now that makes it all ok.
-
Joseph
Instead of preserving his character with distance, the angel asks Joseph to sully his name, tarnish his reputation and shoulder those assumptions alongside Mary.
-
The Consolation of Advent
The greatest miracle of that first Christmas is not that a virgin gave birth, or even that a deity would choose to dwell with us, but that he would choose to dwell AS us.
-
The Acts of Thanksgiving
Being full of thanks is a habit to be cultivated for every day, one which will naturally lead to expressing that thanks in giving.
-
Bitterness or Forgiveness?
We struggle to forgive because we compare the offender's sin to our own.
-
Growing Patience
God doesn't give patience; He cultivates it.
-
Gratitude
I came to a point where the option of walking away from God, of living as though He did not exist, was on the table.
-
Exercise
The more faithfully I turn my straying thoughts to Christ, the more I will look like Him.
-
Come Into the Light
We live as though God opened a bank account in our name when He brought us into the family and deposited a certain amount of forgiveness in it.
-
God Rested
We are so afraid to do it, but what if we trusted God with something less important than our eternal soul?
-
My God Has Answered Me
The abundant life we were promised is finding Christ, not only sufficient in all circumstances, but infinitely more desirable than any other thing.
-
Trusting the Navigator
If you have, or had, young children, I hope you've experienced the incredible realization that they trust you completely and implicitly, they don't even stop to consider whether they should.
-
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Do we believe in a love that leads into the valley, not just out; love that does not heal, but gives grace for enduring instead?
-
Struggling with Contentment
I have found that contentment grows best in the wake of disappointment.
-
In the Beginning, There was Advent
I've been contemplating Eve: how ardently she must have yearned for the fulfillment of the promise made to her that last terrible day in the garden, how she waited longer than any of us, and especially how she never saw it come to pass.
-
A Sacrifice of Thanksgiving
Sometimes the very act of giving thanks is, in itself, a sacrifice.
-
Mundane Ministry
In our teens and twenties we tend to visualize ourselves as world changers; and then the work that is life seeps in and we look up years later to find we've settled for changing diapers, toilet paper rolls and the car's oil.
-
Going Gray
When did we start looking on gray hair as a bad thing?
-
The Betrayer in Me
We are the fickle, denying, betraying crowd. (Judas portrayed by Bradford James Jackson. All rights reserved.)
-
Suddenly Homeschooling
When the world is turned upside down in chaos, you are the teacher and presence they need most.
-
Praying Under Stress
Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, bring everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, to God; and His peace will guard your heart and mind.
-
Contentment
Is it possible to be in a state of peaceful happiness in the middle of hardship or calamity?
-
Suffering & Patience
How suffering is the answer to our prayers for godliness.
