Due to my travel schedule this fall, I have not had time to post weekly. I will try to catch up. One will post today and another tomorrow. In my last blog, we saw that David’s Psalm 122 discusses the house of the Lord. At that time, it was the Tabernacle. Psalm 127 also discussesContinue reading “Who’s Incharge Anyway?”

Come and Worship
During October, we will shift our attention from the books of the Kings to the Psalms. Three of the Psalms we will study are written by King David, and King Solomon wrote one. Today, we begin with Psalm 122 as we look at An Invitation to Worship. Psalm 122 is the second Psalm of Ascent.Continue reading “Come and Worship”
Insecure
I once heard a speaker say that the most confident person can be brought to the knees standing in front of a room of teenagers. While we all have moments of insecurity in specific situations, what about spiritual insecurity? Spiritual insecurity may be defined as a lack of confidence in our God or our positionContinue reading “Insecure”
Hope for Fear
We live at a unique time in Christian history, a time that demands our vigilance. The signs are clear, and every believer who is paying attention will realize that Christ’s return is very near. It’s a truth that has resonated with every generation of believers, and it’s a truth that we must not forget. TheContinue reading “Hope for Fear”
Imitate
The word “imitate” means to take on the characteristics of someone or something. The imitation never fully rises to the original’s authenticity but makes that its goal. In 1 Cor 11:1, Paul writes this encouragement, “And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.” Imitation comes through both words and action. This could beContinue reading “Imitate”
A Happy Little Ditty from Hell
Fear is real! Fear is rational. Fear is irrational. Fear causes pain. Fear causes anxiety. Fear is a part of life. It can raise its head without warning…one phone call…one conversation…one moment can shift us from a place of peace to a place of fear. God does not want us to be controlled by fear,Continue reading “A Happy Little Ditty from Hell”
In AD 341
I believe is more than two words. It is a statement that defines who we are as a people or who we are as an individual. I believe cats are cute but snobbish creatures that seek to kill us in our sleep. I believe celery is among the most disgusting tastes. I believe Ronald ReaganContinue reading “In AD 341”
But I’m Innocent
Over the past few weeks, we have examined several relationship issues, including navigating conflict, preserving unity, and spiritual attacks. There is a part of us that recognizes that we may deserve something that directly results from our actions or attitudes. But what if you are innocent? False accusations can take many forms, from minor attitudesContinue reading “But I’m Innocent”
Sacred Accountability
After several weeks of travel, I am happy to be back in the grove—almost. Today’s blog is an adaptation of this past Sunday’s sermon. It is not uncommon for us to hear the word accountability. We recognize the importance of people around us who help us remain accountable. That might be accountability in our work,Continue reading “Sacred Accountability”
Change Is Needed
I am not a person who finds change difficult. I see change as exciting. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to find a new career every few months, but I love the progress that change brings. We have a new grocery store opening at the entrance to our subdivision. I could not be moreContinue reading “Change Is Needed”
