    God speaks to us about situations we face in life, we need to let God's Word enter our minds and hearts and heal the grief, doubt and even the anger we may feel.

    There are certain times in life when all of us, no matter how strong our faith may be, cry out either audibly or inside our soul, and ask, "Why, God? Why did You let this happen? Why didn't You prevent this tragedy?" For many of us, one of those times was this past Monday when we heard that ...read more

    We are faced with new realities and possibilitites which make us ask the question, "What do you do in times like these". The world got the only true answer in the promise fulfilled by a cross.

    In confusing times of tragedy and loss like many Americans are facing at the present time, it is hard to make sense of it all. The Psalmist gives us encouragement to seek understanding and confidence in the "sanctuary" of God’s presence.

    The Source of My Hope Psalm 73 I heard on the news this past week that one of the outcomes of what has happened since the September 11th attack on America has been a rush on bookstores around the country.

    In this Psalm I examine the Psalm writer’s attitude to the future as he faces old age and how he deals with his enemies. This is during Advent and has a little reflective flavor of the season in it.

    December 11, 2005 Psalm 71 What do you think about your future? Maybe you’re one of those people who’s done an overall road map of your life. Maybe in ten years you want to retire, or have your house paid off, or have enough money saved up to buy a car, or get married and have children. ...read more
