What is Adequate?
“For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16, emphasis mine) Kids have a way of bringing new life and vantage points to everyday things. Their… Continue Reading “What is Adequate?”
Carry the Light
Then this light entered the room…it was my little sister…I stared at it…this cupping of light in her hands. It made me want to hold it in mine.
Climb for Perspective
Perspective is everything…and I tend to lose proper perspective easily. Often. I am a chronic perspective-loser. (If that’s even a word.) Two weeks ago was one of those times. I was away from home on a work trip with my family and trying to… Continue Reading “Climb for Perspective”

Best. Story. Ever.
If I could paint (which I clearly cannot), the picture I’d make would be like a fairy tale, only better. Full color. Absolutely enchanting. We’ve gotta talk about this guy. Let me set the stage. I was hanging out in the book of Ruth… Continue Reading “Best. Story. Ever.”
The True Gospel
My personal study lately has found me in the book of Galatians and I have found myself basking in the beauty of the Gospel. This study has also brought up something else for me: the “other” gospel. Paul refers to it multiple times throughout… Continue Reading “The True Gospel”
