    Most of us are tired and weary of the same old, same old when we come to church. We don’t want to feel like when we attend that we are simply going through the motions. People no longer come to church because it is the right thing to do.

    Many of us feel weary and uninspired when we attend church. We long for something deeper, something that will give our lives meaning and purpose. We no longer come to church out of obligation; we come seeking answers to life's biggest questions. One of these questions is, "What on earth am I here ...read more

    God has uniquely created and called each person to serve others, turning ordinary moments into purposeful opportunities to reflect His love and grace.

    Some mornings the mirror asks more questions than it answers. You brush your teeth, pour the coffee, scroll the headlines, and somewhere between the toast and the traffic you whisper, “Lord, why am I here? What do You want with a Tuesday like this?” If that’s you, you’re in good company today. God ...read more

    Hope in suffering comes when we are able to focus, not on the troubles around us, but on God¡¦s hidden treasure within and before us.

    I¡¦ve noticed in counseling with people over the years that people lose their bearings when they get bad news. Perhaps you saw the story this week about a man in Hollywood, California. Three Marines came to his home to break the news to him that his son had died in the service of his country. ...read more

    A word we don't like is submission. We certainly don't like it when we feel as if we're being wronged somehow. “Submission” is the key ingredient that enables a Christian to live a good life among the ungodly!

    I’m confident that in the years that follow, there will be plenty of articles and books written about this chapter in world history and in church history. And they will address the question, “what lessons did we learn from all of this?” And I’m confident that much of that will be helpful. Looking ...read more
