    At one time or the other we all come to a place of Marah (bitter).but then bitter or better, is really our choice. We cannot choose what comes to us, but we can choose how we respond to it, and that is what determines whether we become bitter or better.

    MARAH IS NOT THE END OF LIFE’S JOURNEY. “And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the ...read more

And other boats were with him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was ...read more

    There are many thankless tasks we have to perform, of which, to some, church participation may be one. But God teaches us that if we do something out of love, it is not burdensome, and the Cross and Empty Tomb teach us that it is not futile.

    There sure are a lot of thankless tasks to be done. There certainly are a great many things that are immensely frustrating, because they just won’t stay done. Do you know what I mean? The kinds of jobs that you do and almost immediately you have to do them again? These are thankless ...read more

     | 3,040 views

    Observations of the kind of values that Jesus outlines in the Beatitudes. (Heavily in debt to Dallas Willard for seminal thoughts!)

    Last week, I talked about the need for a transformed heart, made alive by God’s Spirit.

    To be successful in life, you must force yourself to learn the things you don’t want to learn.

    Christ is coming back...He’s coming back at 7:00 pm tomorrow night! Now, we realize that this is an absurd statement, because no one knows the day or the hour of His return. But humor me for just a few minutes. What if we all knew our Lord was going to return tomorrow evening at 7:00 pm? What if ...read more
