Discovering the Mystery of Who I Am in Christ
I just recently read a very sad blog about a dysfunctional church that encouraged very abusive behavior under the guise of "holiness". You don't have to look far to find news articles on people in the house of God who do things that God would not approve of. In fact, it is because of things …
During the holidays, some of our fondest memories are meals with friends and family around tables laden with tender savory meats, hot creamy mashed potatoes and steaming side dishes. Beautiful, bright vegetables add color to the warmly decorated table. Special dishes come out, along with the candles, lace, nice silver and linen napkins, freshly pressed …

This summer, I inadvertently have been getting in shape. Somewhere along the line, I decided to take a walk this summer with my daughter before she went on a nannying trip with family friends to the Caribbean. Walking at the local arboretum full of lush, natural landscaping, rolling hills, abundant wildlife and old brick structures …
The world is full of spiritual confusion. Everything feels complicated. Voices call from every direction saying, "This is the way", "No! This is the way!" "Every way is right, as long as you feel it is!" This confusion leads to resignation that the world we once knew that was so much simpler and logical is …

Welcome to day 2 of the 21 day Bible Reading challenge! Today we are reading John chapter 2. Remember, that The Father wants to reveal so much to you today in this reading. His heart's desire is for you to know him and to know you intimately. Ask Jesus to speak to you through this …
What is the biggest obstacle that stands in the way between you and reading God's Word? Please post in the comments! I really want to know! I would say that I am the biggest obstacle that keeps me from God's Word. I feel guilt, because I don't "get into the Word" as much as "I …
Jesus said blessed are those who never see and believe. This is great faith. If you are reading this and you have put your faith in Christ without seeing him face to face, you are blessed! Jesus said so. Can we see the wind? No. But, we see the affects of the wind. We feel …
Squanto arrived in 1619, just a year before the Pilgrims arrived at Cape Cod. When he returned, he was distressed to find that all of his tribe had died of a terrible plague. He found solace in the household of Massasoit, the head Sachem -- or chief -- over all the smaller tribes in the greater area. The land Squanto grew up on was abandoned, due to superstition over the great plague that had wiped out the Patuxet tribe. This is the very acreage that the Mayflower came upon in the snowy, cold December of 1620. The Mayflower tried to sail down the Hudson River, to get out of the bay area, but strong headwinds kept providentially pushing her precious cargo back to Cape Cod.
The pilgrims' lives truly were lived in sacrifice without complaining, as was their trademark. They were living in the New World before it was famous for "first world problems". As I poured through their journals and writings, I was gripped with an extreme conviction. Their hard work ethic, their fellowship and unity, their faithfulness, their lack of complaining paints a stark contrast to the world that I live in. Â The men, women and children who left everything to come to The New World were following what they believed was the strong and direct will of The Lord for their lives. They were refugees in every sense of the word, yet they lived in confident knowledge that the King of Kings was their father and protector.
