Junk
Do you ever think about junk? Junk is a collection of things that have no meaning or value or are of low quality. Every home has one: the junk drawer. You know the one — where mismatched batteries, expired coupons, and keys-to-nowhere pile up “just in case.” It looks harmless on the outside… shut the…

Healing from church hurt without walking away from the church
Let’s start 2026 in the right place. Church hurt is real. It is not imagined, exaggerated, or unspiritual to acknowledge it. Many believers have been wounded not by the world, but by people who carried the name of Jesus. Words spoken carelessly. Authority misused. Grace withheld. Expectations placed on shoulders that were already heavy. For…

New Year’s Joy
As the year ends and the holidays come to a close, we find ourselves packing away the Christmas decorations and all the “material things” that bring the Christmas Spirit to life in our homes at this time of year. The beautiful music of Christmas carols and the sweet aroma of cookies baking in the oven…

Living by Trust
The gatherings are behind us now, the lights are dimming, the tree is coming down. Now what? For many days leading up to Christmas, we’re busy with decorating, cooking, and wrapping gifts, and now it seems the world just stopped spinning.

Awe & Wonder
We all know the Christmas Story, but these last couple of years, as I have read it, it got me thinking a little differently. We know the story; we read it over, and over again each Christmas, but how often does the awe and wonder of this miraculous event get lost because of its familiarity? …

Living by Reflection
This Christmas season we pause and reflect on the birth of Jesus, the Savior of the world, born a baby, yet a King. He came from humble means, born on a silent night in the city of Bethlehem, traveling with His mother and father on a donkey to a cold, dark cave of sorts, wrapped…

The Spirit of God Within Us
As we are approaching Christmas Day, our thoughts and our intentions reflect upon the manger and the birth of Christ, and how beautiful it was. During this season we watch the Christmas movies, we look at manger scenes and Christmas lights around our community, and we ponder the miraculous virgin birth of our Lord and…

Living by Surrender
Mary, the mother of Jesus. A young girl, highly favored. Chosen by God. In Mark 1, we read every advent season of this young girl in a desert place devoted to God with no apparent promise other than a future marriage to a young man named Joseph. An angel appeared to Mary one night, telling…

A Heart of Thanksgiving & Gratitude
A Heart of Thanksgiving & Gratitude November is the month selected on the calendar to give thanks for, and reflect with gratitude, the many blessings in our lives. It is a time to acknowledge God and thank Him for His provision, protection, His love, His blessings, His faithfulness and so much more. Thanksgiving Day is…

Living by the Fruit of the Spirit
Bundled up in a warm coat on a cold Christmas Eve, I stood in a long line at our local community hall, my knees shivering from the cold outside air. I was excited every year to take that long walk into a large, empty building to the front of the room where a man sat…
