“Doubt is dangerous to faith”, is a remark by Jon Bloom in an article I read today. I see that at different stages, while on our faith-walk, both doubt and faith can co-exist. My favorite example is Peter in Matthew 14:30. He boldly asks Jesus if He can join Him as Jesus walks on water…

For Christmas, my family gave me an art print that absolutely stunned me. It is Jesus hung on a dark cross with His head hung low, signifying His death. All artwork/depictions of Jesus are from the artist’s imagination. Someday we will see Him face to face. Today I saw another depiction of the true story…

I saw a reality show commercial. These women are selling the show and boasting. Sales is boasting as I well know. It would have been an oversight to attend a marketing meeting and not mention how many successful home-sales I conducted. However, I was not “self-made”. Credit where credit is due. I was created by…

How do we avoid moral injury? I read this term last week and it makes sense to me. There are times that the world seems so wrong (all of the time) and I’m not sure how to make a difference. God is all-powerful and I have a little power. I feel defeat when I end…

I say this all the time – words matter! I use and abuse words as much as the next guy but, on the second hearing of an Easter church invite I cringed. Do not call it the story of Easter. It is the ACCOUNT of Easter. Then the pastor on the radio invited people to…

I save, rinse, and re-use unspoiled ziplock bags. I’ve mentioned before that I was raised by good people of the generation from the depression. The “poor” principles were inconsistent but applied. So when I read that it took 10,000 hours, or some other crazy number, to make a dress for a star to walk the…

I have a ridiculous satellite clock that miss-fires any time (twice each year) there is a spring-forward or fall-back event. This time I thought I had it all figured out. I had plugged my phone & Apple Watch in another room and read a bit in bed. I knew I needed to add an hour…

It has been a year since I graduated from YWAM 50+. It is time to finish reviewing the things that I learned and heard from God. Art is not science but we can see God in our beautiful world. We can see satan in the ugly. This study included art and how artists through time…

As the world hunts for Christians we hunt for Jesus, His truth, people to share His truth with, and His will for each of us. I received a strange stare this week when I said that the world is hunting for Christians but what else can we call martyrs and those hiding in home churches…
