Sometimes some of the guys try to push me around a little, all in good fun. It is a way of showing affection in Australia. In the friendly banter, I may say "Hey, I belong to God! I am annointed! Don’t touch the Lord’s annointed! Back off!" Although I am only joking I am also serious about

We live in a world that is looking for peace. Most of us are more familiar with tension, stress and anxiety than peace. Lack of peace is the result of our complex, accelerated and stressed-out world. If you can complete these sentences with the appropriate word, you need to learn what resources

Our Inheritance (Poem in honor of Jewel Hogan for her funeral, Oct. 18, 1997)

As abundant as the grass of the earth
Everywhere I walked

Brennan Manning urges us toward creative listening imagining God’s words to us as such (I invite you to close your eyes and imagine Jesus speaking these words to you now): “Has it crossed your mind that I am proud you accepted the gift of faith I offered you? Proud that you freely chose Me, after I

When I read Hebrews 6:13-20, I am always reminded of a story I heard years ago, from a young man telling about his trip down a foreign river. A storm came up suddenly and the banks were too high to climb, so he and his friend guided their small craft to the river's edge where,
