    God is not like one of us in many ways.

    GOD IS NOT! Every dysfunction begins with a distortion about who God is. That’s why, in addition to knowing who he is, it’s important to understand who he isn’t. Most believers realize that God is holy, sovereign, righteous, pure, majestic, powerful, sufficient, wonderful, and a ...read more

    A recent family crisis taught me many things about how this verse applies to those of us who have coped with crisis and those of us who need to cope.

There might have been a slight unevenness in the pavement, but that’s pretty normal, no real problem. The day before Dad had clambered some of the ...read more

     | 11,362 views

    Mary loved Jesus and was willing to pour herself out for Him. She was willing to pour the most valuable possession she had and poured it out on Jesus. Worship is pouring yourself out. It is laying down your life in honor of One who is greater than you.

    Jacob's night with a stone for a pillow teaches us that God uses loneliness and isolation to speak to us in ways that would otherwise be missed.

    I have a very special pillowcase that might tempt you to make fun of me. It is my “Where’s Waldo” pillowcase. Actually, it belonged to one of our children, but I use it as my pillowcase when I go camping in the wilderness. My wilderness gear consists of leftovers from around ...read more

    Jesus' ministry, though popular, was mostly misunderstood. Indeed, he was popular with the crowd precisely because he was misunderstood.
