Courage- Our Failure as His Kings and Queens
It is a phenomena we’re all too familiar with. Jack, or Jill, having been pillars of their high school communities, serving as leaders at the church youth group, head off to college. There they head off a cliff, spiritually speaking. … Continue reading

Not Worthy to Be Compared- Here to Eternity
We all know we are called to walk by faith and not by sight (II Cor. 5:7). What we often don’t know is how terrible we are at it. We tend to think of it as the ability to believe … Continue reading

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound, Given To All Around

Hearts, Heads and Hands, Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes

Resenting Grace: Parable of the Miserly Son
It is counter-intuitive, but nevertheless, there it is. We all, from time to time, take offense when grace is offered to us. We all, even more of the time, take offense when grace is offered to others. Two different circumstances, … Continue reading

What does it mean that the church is the bride of Christ?
When a writer makes an analogy he seeks to draw out truths about one thing by drawing out its similarities to the known qualities of the thing to which it is compared. If I say, “Life is like a roller-coaster” … Continue reading
