A closed bridge, a blocked road,an accident, a dark drive home. Are these sometimes how we as Christians appear?
Small Christianity
Signs
It is interesting to read old testament passages with the knowledge of what will happen. I was thinking, don't they get it? People asked for signs - and yet as big and bold as they would come it was not enough. Jeremiah spoke boldly about what would come. For the fact that he could have... Continue Reading →
Lessons from Narnia
Tonight I was watching Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and saw a few things in a new light. I know much has been written about this series of books, but since I haven't read those works these are new revelations to me. Maybe their fresh, maybe someone else has seen these things too, but my... Continue Reading →
Trust
Wednesday night Pastor Bryan taught about Trust. It was a really powerful message that makes one think. As I left church, and into the following day this issue of trust continued to run through my mind. I ended up talking about it in group I lead on Thursday. I was touched how God used that...

We started talking about how everyone is important... Continue Reading →
That’s Not Faith
I have been reading "Discover the Real Jesus" by Bill Bright. There is this line that reads "Jesus expects us to pray in Faith." As I read that, I thought "Why would you pray in anything except faith?" I mean when you pray you make petition to the Lord for things. Why would you not... Continue Reading →
Thoughts from Exodus 3
God can reach us even when we are doing common things. “One day while Moses was taking care of the sheep and goats of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, he led the flock across the desert and came to Sinai, the holy mountain. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him as... Continue Reading →
