If I Were God, I Would Have…

Thank goodness we’re not God! Imagine the mess we’d make, driven by our own limited understanding. Garth Brooks had it right: sometimes we have to thank God for unanswered prayers. If every one of my prayers had received a “yes,” I shudder to think where I’d be now. In Isaiah 55:8, God says, “My ways…

Shut the Door

Every day we can choose life. A friend explained some of her health issues. She said that she feels optimistic yet fear creeps in with “What if?” I told her that when the enemy taunts her with his fear tactics to remember, “The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus came to give…

Using our Talents

Jesus told the Parable of the Talents to remind us of the importance of using the gifts and talents He’s given us. In the story, the servants who wisely used their talents were praised with, “Well done, good and faithful servants… enter into the joy of the Lord!” (Matthew 25:23) But the one who buried…

Be Anxious for Nothing

“The Chosen” series, Season 4, Episode 7 portrays Jesus visiting sisters, Mary and Martha at their home. If you had to guess, you’d probably peg me as a Martha.

Her teacher asked, “What are you drawing?” The little girl replied confidently, “I’m drawing a picture of God.” The teacher, a bit taken aback, said, “But nobody knows what God looks like!” The little girl kept drawing and…

Like the Titanic or Jesus?

During our recent trip through Canada, we visited the Titanic Cemetery aka Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a somber reminder of the 1912 disaster that claimed 1,513 lives. The sight of children’s tombstones was particularly heartrending, realizing the immense loss endured. James Cameron, the director of the movie, “Titanic”, once described the Titanic…

Let’s Talk About It Some More

I mean. Let’s talk about what the resurrection of our Lord really means to us. I can’t let it go. The resurrection of our Lord changes everything. He proved NOTHING is impossible with God. He proved that what He said would be. Jesus said to Martha after her brother, Lazarus died and was buried: “I…

Our Stone-Cold Jesus

The disciples thoughts on Saturday: “What on earth can we do now? Things looked so promising. Jesus healed the sick and gave the blind their sight back. He cast out demons and turned water into wine. He fed thousands of people with just a little bit of food. He even walked on water.” “And beyond…

We are Chosen

We saw “The Chosen”, Series 4, 5 & 6 on Sunday night at the theater. As we watched the beauty of Jesus and his disciples and their comradery, I was reminded of the importance of friendships. But I also saw Jesus, in the movie, become quite frustrated at those knuckle-headed disciples who kept messing up.…
