There are some things that we are all going to face. There are certain things that every human that has ever lived throughout history has had to face or deal with. Hunger. Exhaustion. Sadness. Joy. Pain. Wonder. Love. Anger. These are all human emotions, human experiences. Everyone reading this, no matter where you has felt, [...]

A Few Thoughts on an Election Day
Posted in Reflections, tagged Election Day, Faith, God, Trust on November 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I’m writing this on November 8, 2011. It’s an election day here in Mississippi. If you’re not in Mississippi reading this, sorry about it. But maybe these thoughts will be helpful the next time you get to vote! Every election day brings a couple of thoughts to my mind. The first is that voting is [...]
What is our Goal?
Posted in Reflections, tagged Goal, God, Grace, Holy on October 31, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Sometimes in our lives, we feel like changing ourselves and our actions can be a hopeless cause. What can we possibly do? What can we do to make ourselves better, or more holy, or more obedient? When we try, we fail. We try to be good. We try to behave. We try to do right. [...]
Where Is God?

It really is hard for us as humans to wrap our minds around God. We really can’t understand who God is. He is other. He is different from us. We simply can’t fathom who He is us. We know of God what God has revealed to us through Scripture, through tradition (the wise teachings of [...]

We see when looking at the story of the Israelites in Exodus a lot of things that can impact our lives and our walk with God. We see God’s power. We see how strong He is. We see our powerful He is. We see in Moses the power of good, Godly leadership. Leadership that seeks [...]
God is Proud of You

The best sermon I’ve heard in my life was taken from Hebrews 11:13-16. It preached at Presbyterian church in Jackson, MS, I think roughly in 1997. I was visiting this church with a friend that worshiped there. And I’ll never forget the sermon that was preached that Sunday. The preacher was dealing with Hebrews 11, a [...]
A Taste of Eternity
Posted in Reflections, tagged Eternity, God, Life, Love on September 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
One of the criticisms people can have of the church and of us as Christians sometimes is that we can be so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good. We can focus on heaven to exclusion of other things. Why work for change here upon the earth, when our reward is in heaven? Why [...]
The Israel of God? Huh?

Last night in my Asbury Small Group Connection (by the way, quick plug, if you’d like to sign up for one of our Small Group Connections, you can click here) we finished up Galatians. Galatians is one of my favorite books of the Bible. It deals with grace, and law, and faith. And, as Paul ends [...]
We Remember. Then Forget

If you’ve read my thoughts for any time at all, you’ll know that I just love the Psalms. I think they are my favorite parts of scripture. They are full of worship of God,they are full of emotion, they are full of all the things that we go through and we experience. They describe our [...]
Promises
Posted in Reflections, tagged Faith, God, Promise, Trust on July 27, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Promises are a powerful thing. I was raised to not take a promise lightly. If you promised someone something, that’s the same as giving your word. And you should never go back on your word. You should never break your promise. Ever. That’s the way I was raised. The Bible is full of God’s promises to [...]
