    The Great, Almighty God, the infinite Creator of the universe, takes great delight and unsurpassed joy from our relationship with Him.

    How do you think people imagine God to be? Is He far or near? Is He powerful or passive? Is He disgusted with them or in love with them? Is He a mean old man? Is He a kindly grandpa-type? Is He listening? Does He care for people individually? Can He really help? During the late 1960’s and through ...read more

    Today I want to begin with a question. How long has it been since you have felt God nudging you to follow him more closely?

    Spiritual renewal is not just an exercise to make us feel good; it is God’s way of making us better servants.

    Last Tuesday, as I began to prepare for this second message from Zephaniah, a prophet who lived some 2600 years ago, I was searching for a way to connect his words with our own experience, but I was not making progress. By mid-afternoon, I had stalled, so I got up from my desk to do something ...read more
