    Christianity is about making a choice. Do I choose to do things God's way, or mine? Do I choose to follow His wishes, or the wishes of others who disagree with Him? The Bible repeatedly tells us: 'Make a choice.'

    Christianity is all about making a choice. It's a decision between following God's way or our own way, between pleasing Him or pleasing others who disagree with Him. The Bible repeatedly emphasizes the importance of making a choice. Let me share a lighthearted story to illustrate this point. There ...read more

    Star Of Hope For New Years Eve

    The ball that drops at Times Square is called the "Star of Hope" and on its face are the "wishes" of our nation for courage, peace, fellowship etc. But if we listen to Scripture, we have a hope based on something more than "wishing upon a star."

    OPEN: Tonight at 11:59 pm, over one billion people all across the world will be watching as the “ball” drops in New York City’s Times Square. That got me to wondering about the history of the New Year’s Eve “ball” and what I discovered was intriguing: · The 1st "time-ball" was installed on top of ...read more

    Is the idea that God is working just wishful thinking? What does that look like if he is?

    (Introduction) (Other ideas might be the pains of road construction: and the signs that say, “Completed in 2011 as promised) The grief of my grandfather’s loss was still fresh.

    To wish is about what we want from God; hope is waiting for that which God wants for us.

    Eugene Peterson (Living the Message: Daily Help for Living the God-Centered Life) points out that what a lot of people call hope is in reality something different. It’s wishing, not hoping: and wishing and hoping are not the same thing. "Wishing," Peterson says, "is something all of us do. It ...read more
