    Growing up my mother’s favorite New Year’s Eve tradition was to start and finish a puzzle. The puzzles were big and difficult. We would race against the clock, trying to complete it by midnight. Even though we were all working together, the puzzle would take hours to finish. We watched the clock ...read more

    The moment we hear Jesus ask us, “Do you want to get well?” and the moment we heed Christ’s call to, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk,” is the moment when victory is assured!!!

    David wisely recognized the significance of what his friends had done for him, and he created a sacramental moment with it. The body and blood of Christ is a sacramental moment for Christians.

    This is a story of four friends and a drink of water. Once upon a time--in a far away land of craggy rocks, dull sand, and dark caves—there lived a king. But nobody called him king. He had no throne, no palace. He didn’t even have a crown. But he did have three very close friends who ...read more

    There are moments in life that change us forever. Today's story looks at the second of two such moments in Jacob's life, where he wrestled with God in prayer and in pride, and was forever changed.

    Genesis 32:22-31 Wrestling with God Have you ever had a pivotal moment in your life that has forever changed you? For me, one such moment was the day I joined the military.

    Each of us is choosing to believe God or doubt God, moment by moment, depending on what or who we are looking at, and the thoughts we are allowing to occupy our minds:

    Life is measured in meaningful moments, not just minutes. We need to be intentional with our time, eliminating time-wasting activities, seizing teachable moments, and accumulating meaningful experiences.

    Have you ever thought about how long you've actually lived? Not in years or days, but in moments that really matter? Dr. Tony Campolo once asked a student this question and it got him thinking. Life isn't just about the minutes we spend, but the moments we create. Before we dive in, let's remember ...read more

    The Preciousness Of Death

     | 65,403 views

    Although difficult for us to cope with, the death of a saint is precious to God.

    "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." This seems like an odd verse. Why would death be precious to God? Wasn’t it the entrance of sin into the world that brought forth the curse of death? Certainly God abhors sin, and I would be willing to say that individuals ...read more
