My prayer for you today is that the Holy Spirit will fill your heart with boundless joy and a sense of peace that transcends all external circumstances.

Believe it or not, today is a worry-free day! Why?

That's because God has an abundant reserve of resources in the account of his character to make good on his promises to us.

So, let's believe what he's said to us and embrace this day with confident trust.

A reminder: The current state of the world is not what it should be.

But as the people of God, working towards peace and promoting his reign and rule, let's strive to live our lives in a way that inspires hope and provides people with a glimpse of what is possible and what is…

As we are still living in the faith and reality of the Resurrection, let this thought from Elizabeth Elliot wash over our hearts today:

“Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ashes.” ~ Elisabeth Elliot

'And in due time, Hannah conceived and bore a son,..' 1 Samuel 1:20

In due time...

The Lord will answer.
The Lord will end a cycle of sorrow.
The Lord will begin a new cycle of joy.

In due time...

The Lord will come to us.

“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?' Jeremiah 17:9

We must not delude ourselves into thinking that the evil outside of us is greater than the evil inside of us.

Lord, have mercy and deliver us from us.

That was Edey's second foul all year.

Today's eclipse will serve as a credible witness.

It will declare that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the remarkable beauty of the universe and everything in it - sun, moon, stars, and humanity.

As image-bearers, may we be reminded today of God's power, glory, wisdom,…

What a game!!!!

This Iowa/South Carolina game is crazy!!!!

Edey stays in the paint so long that I thought I saw Comcast hooking up his cable down there.

Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. Luke 24:30

Sometimes, a frustrating gap exists between knowing and experiencing Jesus' presence, especially when we're suspended somewhere between Jerusalem and Emmaus - between our grief and the hope of joy.

So,…

What a great out by Lange! He got ahead in the count and then drooped the bottom out of that last pitch for the strikeout and the win.

The Tigers starting 6-1 wasn't on my bingo card this year.

I'm not a Tigers fan, but I love baseball and I'm happy for my brother,…

I am typically a straight-up Canada Dry Ginger Ale guy, but this Vernors is hitting different today. I might have to switch my allegiance.

This is a good word. Let it wash over your heart today.

'It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the bridegroom's friend is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success.' John 3:29

When we're tempted to play the comparison game and become jealous, let's recognize that God…

Until we're comfortable with aloneness, we will be haunted by loneliness.

Solitude and silence are two spiritual practices that teach us the art of being alone with ourselves and God.

While it may seem counterintuitive, the spiritual habits that involve subtracting from our…

We're not as good as people say and think we are. The more we hide our flaws, the more they will leak.

Let's enter this day with a heavy dose of self-awareness and humility - a healthy view of who we are in light of who God is.

Happy Monday!

In a male-dominated culture, if the story of Jesus' resurrection had been made up, men would have been portrayed as heroes, not women. This is because women's testimonies were not trusted in a court of law.

However, women were the first eyewitnesses, and the ones who first…

Just because it's silent, it doesn't mean that God is not working. His silence doesn't mean he's absent. He is always present and doing something.

The confusion and silence of Saturday are just preparations for the miracle of resurrection on Sunday.

So, my dear friends, hold…
