The Story of the Reformation
For us to understand a man like Martin Luther, we must first understand the world in which he lived. In the early 1500’s, the strength and power of the Roman Catholic Church had reached its height, and so had corruption, spreading even to the Pope himself. The...
Overcoming Life’s Storms
The day had begun on a positive note. A great multitude had gathered at Capernaum, along the shores of the Sea of Galilee to witness miracles and hear Jesus teach about the Kingdom (Mark 4:35). As dusk approached, the sun slowly slid beneath the horizon ablaze with...
How To Have More Faith
It’s not unusual to hear believers say, “I need more faith” or “I wish my faith were stronger." I have some Good News to share. You can have more faith, stronger faith, and even great faith - the choice is up to you. Do Not Pray for More Faith First of all, do not...
Don’t Negotiate God’s Will
Jesus tells an interesting Parable in Matthew 20. It is actually a continuation of chapter 19. Jesus is going to answer a question from Peter and the rest of His followers. A young man known as, “The Rich Young Ruler” just asked to be part of Jesus’ group. Frankly,...
The Value of Contentment
“For I have learned in whatever situation I am in to be content” Philippians 4:11 Contentment has been a personal struggle for me for quite some time. So when I ponder the words of the Apostle Paul about his growth with contentment, it gives me hope that I too, can...

Evil Doesn’t Need A Reason
How do you make sense of a senseless tragedy? Like most of you, I am struggling to understand how one man can cause so much pain. As of now, 58 have lost their lives and another 500 are wounded. Just when we think our society cannot grow any more evil, something like...
Casting All Your Care (The Age of Anxiety)
Experts say that history will call us, "The Age of Anxiety." When you read Philippians 4:6, “Be anxious for nothing”, do you read this as a command or as a suggestion? If the Bible is commanding us to not worry and invites us to handle every situation in life with,...
Self Care is not Selfish
I am used to going 100 miles per hour it seems. Is that not our culture? I am sure you have a hard time slowing down as well. The Lord is teaching me some valuable lessons this Summer after suffering two failed eye surgeries. It seems I just cannot work as hard and as...
I Am Loved By The King (Thoughts Over The Swiss Alps)
These are the words I am listening to as we fly over the Swiss Alps. The view from 30,000 feet above the ground has given me the most wonderful appreciation for the majesty of God. As I look down on these snow-capped mountain peaks, I am thinking to myself, only a God...
Overcoming Doubt
Over the last number of years, I have been having spiritual dreams and hearing words while asleep. The Lord will speak to us and give us dreams while we sleep, read Job 33:15-18. Some time ago while asleep I heard these words, “War on doubt”. As believers, we all have...
