Comfort, comfort my people' was the prophet Isaiah's cry at one of the worse times of Israel's history. As we remember the atrocities of our day, it seems the greatest need today is for the very same ‘comfort.' The world has not gotten better. It fee

One of our greatest challenges and responsibilities is the care of our own heart. Why? Our heart is the core of our identity and our being. More important, it is the dwelling place of Jesus. Therefore, our heart should be well tended and guarded.

‘Do you hear what I hear?’ Is your heart strangely warmed within you--like the men who walked with Jesus on the road to Emmaus right after he was raised from the dead? Or like Francis of Assisi have you heard the ‘call’ to walk away from the riches

“We continue to shout our praise even when we are hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will d

 “God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for

The challenge; believing the gospel of grace (aggressive forgiveness) for yourself and others, daily!

"Your salvation is not a reward for good behavior! It was a grace thing from start to finish; you had no hand in it. Even the gift to believe simpl

"Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don't see many of the 'brightest and the best' among you, not many of the influential, not many from high-society families. Isn't it obvious that God

"Though He slay me, I will trust Him" Job. I'm sure you are familiar with Job's story...maybe a bit too familiar. All of us have had “Job” like experiences in our journey. He lost everything that he cherished: family, lands, riches, friends, health-o
