You know when something just hits you deep in your gut — it’s personal. That drop in your stomach. Tears pop up without warning. You can’t believe it. What was just said really hit home in your heart. Sometimes it’s a bad thing. But, sometimes it’s a good thing. Either way — it’s personal. When’s … Read more

Do you have trouble connecting the Old Testament to the New Testament? I know it can seem difficult, but sometimes the apostles help us out. In Acts Chapter 2, just after the apostles received the Holy Spirit and began testifying about Jesus, Peter connected several Old Testament prophecies with New Testament fulfillment in Jesus. When … Read more

I bet you’re thinking, “the star!” Well, not exactly. The wise men actually asked the Jews where they would find the place where the King of the Jews was to be born.

The last time we “talked” I was sitting alone in the desert, asking God how I should explain what happens when we read our Bibles (see Monday’s post “Why Should I Read Something That Is 2000 Years Old?!”).

In the quiet stillness of dawn, I sat on a bench. My breath blew puffs of steam over my coffee. The sky was red as the birds sang in the morning. Every now and then something would stir in the lake and ripple the water. As I prayed, divine peace settled over me like the blanket … Read more

This is what got me out of bed this morning… Well, Jesus didn’t actually ring my doorbell, but this was the scene that popped into my head after I hit the snooze button (tempted to skip my prayer/Bible time). Would I roll over and ignore Him if Jesus really did ring my doorbell in the … Read more

The idea is to ditch the unrealistic resolutions we typically set at the new year, and instead, choose one … Read more
