The Word of God became Flesh
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 What’s your favorite part of the Christmas story, dear one? Is it Mary’s response to a visiting angel? Or perhaps the terrified […]
Daring to Hope
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:5 NIV 1984 I love Christmas. It’s always been my very favorite time of year. Don’t get me wrong. If we’re talking about weather, summer wins. No question. Warm […]
The Greatest Thing You Could Do Today
Recently God showed me a glimpse into His wounded heart. While in prayer for the church, a picture of His bloodied Son nailed to the cross filled my mind. Then I saw the curtain torn that had separated man from God’s presence. And I began to weep, because I realized how few actually enter in. Beloved, Jesus […]
Have You Declined God’s Invitation?
The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was. Exodus 20:21 Recently God opened my eyes to a beautiful truth tucked into Exodus 19.

We just don’t usually choose the path required to get there. What is that path? Psalm 100:4 reveals it plainly. We enter His gates with […]
Throwing Stones
You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5 ESV For some reason, people love to throw stones. And, apparently, red coffee cups. We picture ourselves like David, standing against a godless giant who […]
Derailed and Redirected
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 ESV We had plans. After a 12:30 appointment with his surgeon, Steve and I were going to take the afternoon to explore San Francisco. We had […]
Blessed in the Beloved
For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. John 1:16 ESV “There is no one on this planet more blessed than you.” Beth Moore spoke those words last year during a taping of “Wednesdays in the Word” for Life Today TV. At the time, I joked with a friend who attended with […]
