The Beatles and the Beatitudes

God wants to change you, and He promised you will be blessed if you allow Him to do so. If you are a believer, are people seeing Jesus in you? Are they looking through you and seeing Him?

Peace for a New Year

The world is anything but peaceful. However the unrest in our hearts is what troubles us most, if we are truly honest, and that is precisely what Jesus wants to address in each of us.

A Quiet Arrival

Have you heard the song “Winter Snow” by Audrey Assad? It’s an eloquent Christmas song released last year that begins with these lines:

A Broken Heart for Christmas

Have you heard the song by Jonny Diaz called “Break My Heart”? It’s been on my mind lately and it begins with the lines: I see children in slavery It's all too much so I turn off the TV A world away from the world they're in So I give up before I even begin

Thank who?

Isn’t it odd that the day after we are supposed to stop what we normally do to reflect on what is right and good in our lives and to give thanks for all that we enjoy, that we dash out in a crazy frenzy to get more stuff, usually with money we don’t have, for people we don’t spend much time with?

A Special Day, A Special Opportunity

Today is a special day: it’s 11/11/11. It will be quite some time before the next one rolls around; one hundred years actually. It’s feasible that someone living today could see the next 11/11/11, thanks perhaps to clean living and maybe some medical breakthroughs. For most of us, though, this is it. Enjoy the moment.

Say Yes To My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding Dress

The other day I learned that someone I know was recently divorced. Although my friend and I are not close, I was surprised because the marriage appeared to be strong. A sense of heaviness sort of came over me as I thought “there’s another one gone bad”. Another home broken, more children hearing parents try to reassure them with something like “your dad and I can’t be together anymore but this doesn’t change how I feel for you”.

Rockin' Your World

Events like Tuesday’s earthquake are one more way God is reaching out to you and me to gain our trust, to move us to seek Him, to realize we are not in control and that we need His help.

Clouds & Storms

Thunderstorms have been frequent recently, and while I love storms, as the manager of a radio station they make me nervous because storms often mean getting knocked off the air.

Are You Really Free

Free is good; we like free. Free food, free time, free refills, free admission; put free in front of most anything and you can draw a crowd. Look around; the United States is filled with people who came here to be free.

Supernatural Power—Cape Not Included

Do you have a favorite superhero? Superman is an easy one for me. He can leap tall buildings, lift most anything, and see through walls. And while his outfit doesn’t thrill me, a cape is always cool.

Daddy's come around

Fatherhood is God’s idea, so it makes sense that to get it right you’re going to need God’s help.

Growing up - The Need for the Bible Part 1

In the next few articles we will consider how a Christian can grow into maturity. Hopefully this is your goal and priority, especially if you are a professing believer. There are many pursuits we can focus on but none of them will be as rewarding as deepening our relationship with Christ.

Remembering

The Memorial Day weekend is here; “Already?” you may be asking. Yep, and so begins summer, even if the calendar will be a few weeks catching up with us

What does Jesus want?

There’s an old song that begins with the lines, “We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord,” and goes on to conclude each verse with, “they’ll know we are Christians by our love.”

Have You Heard: The Cross and Empty Tomb

As this Easter weekend rolls around we come to a remembrance of two very significant events for Christians. Possibly the Easter bunny, colored eggs and the family lunch have veiled what the celebration is all about. But make no mistake about it the two events being remembered this weekend create the core of what Christianity is all about. These two events remember the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection from the dead.

Have You Heard: Betting on the End

I spent my tenth birthday in the slowly thawing spring of Fairbanks, Alaska. Piles of dirty snow lined the streets, as I recall, and every yard was a muddy, apocalyptic mess. I also remember that the most pressing question in town was, “When will the ice break?”
