We talk much about following Jesus, but have you ever thought about Jesus following us? That’s right. There are times when God follows us! Imagine this scene: People are busy and preoccupied trying somehow to find fulfillment. They’re trying to find it in many different places. They go after relationships, a better paying job, friends, […]

Good evening everyone,-sorry but I just finished up my finals for the summer! Mark 8:23-25 -And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?" And he looked […]

I love the God of love. Not so much the God of holiness. Perhaps because I’m keenly aware of my sinfulness. I want the God of love to forgive me over and over and put up with my failings. But when I think about the God of holiness, I feel very uneasy, uncomfortable, and guilty. […]

At times, we try so hard to get God on our side. He’s like the superstar player. And if we can just get Him to play for us, we know that our team will win! So, we pray to get Him on our side. We go to church to appease Him so that our life […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about delighting in God, lately. Perhaps some of you are discouraged by that. You do not know what it means when someone like myself – a pastor – says he delights in God. You don’t really enjoy reading the Bible – you have to force yourself to do it. You […]

Sorry for the lateness of this devotional. I’ve been going to sleep later and waking up later than usual watching the Olympics… Our faith is shaken by what our eyes “see.” Therefore, we better be careful what we “see.” How do I mean? We are told as Christians, God will never leave us nor forsake […]

Good morning everyone, John 14:16-17: And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. One […]

What is the point of telling someone to do something when you know he’s not going to do it? Deut. 31:29, “For I know that after my (Moses’) death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you.” That is what we read God doing to the […]

Ever wonder why some people are chosen by God to be used greatly? Both in modern times and biblical times? For example, Tim Tebow. If you follow football, then what happened to the Broncos last year led by Tim Tebow was nothing short of the miraculous. But why did God choose to use Tim Tebow? […]

Good morning everyone, John 16:12-"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When I think about the good times of life with friends, family, co- workers etc, there is a feeling sometimes that you get in those real good moments that this could or should last forever! I […]
