In Genesis, God created the world and all living creatures within it and on the seventh day He rested. We may not be creating all living things, but if you are like me, our world can get extraordinarily busy. My weekly disciple group has agreed to focus on keeping the sabbath holy. In other words,…

I woke yesterday to the low rumble of thunder. The meteorologists had been predicting bad weather for days, this time they seemed to be right. As I drank my coffee and got ready for work, I listened to the inconsistent splatter of the raindrops against the windows. The rain was in full deluge mode as…

I received a holy head thump the other day as I was reading through 1 Samuel. Saul had been made king and was given clear instructions by God to destroy the Amalekites leaving no person or animal alive. But Saul did it his way… he did kill the men, women, and children but captured their…

You are caught in the tension between expectation of a new adventure and the agony of waiting for it to arrive. If waiting is…
