Hope for the Next Generation
This is my 16th year as an elementary teacher, and it sometimes astounds me to think just how much our world has changed. Young people have so many more voices to sort through now as they grow and mature, and it can be easy to feel like it’s a losing battle. But there is hope for the next generation, and those yet to come—and you and I have the opportunity to be a part of God’s working.
Praying with No Strings Attached
Jacob isn’t a Biblical character we typically take for a role model, but there is one moment in his life that gives us a glimpse of maturity—and yes, even an example to follow.
Surrounded by Scripture
It is always interesting how the loss of a loved one brings things into focus in unexpected ways. In this week’s blog post, I share a detail of my aunt’s life that impacted me and reminded me of how God so often uses the small details of our lives to encourage and challenge others.
Committing My Works Unto the Lord
I have always thought of committing my works to the Lord as a sort of putting them in His hands in terms of the results, but when put in context, there is another very important sense in which we commit our works to the Lord.
Drawing Near to Our Personal God
It is easy to be so busy doing things for the Lord, that we lose sight of the fact that He is not just a vague entity, but a real Person, who desires us to spend time with Him.
A Glimpse of God
There are many passages in the Bible that give us a glimpse of what God is like, and this post takes just one of those passages, walking through it slowly, considering each facet mentioned.
Life Between the Plot Points
The narratives in the Bible are often packed with momentous events, but the Bible characters whose lives seem so eventful had their times of daily plodding, too.
Tailor-Made
Temptations always seem to crop up at just the moment they will be most difficult to fight. But the Bible tells us that it’s not just our temptations that are tailor-made.
Our Home and Father
God is a perfect Father, our place of peace and security. As someone recently described it to me, God is our home and our Father.
