    How Do You Deal With Guilt?

    Guilt has a nasty way of seeping into our bones. We can forget whatever awful thing we did for days, months, or even years. All the while, guilt lies dormant, hidden deep beneath the surface. Waiting. Then out of nowhere when we least expect it, guilt strikes. And it goes right for the heart. Just…

  • I Love to Tell the Story

    I Love to Tell the Story

    Today is Book Lovers Day! As people around the world share their favorite stories in celebration, today got me thinking about the unique connection between stories and sharing God’s Word with others.

    I Only Want One Thing

    “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple” (Psalm 27:4). I’ll admit, this incredible, bold request is not often on…

  • These Words Are Not Empty

    These Words Are Not Empty

    (It might be helpful to read Mark 5:21-24,35-43 before or after reading this blog post.) “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” These aren’t false reassurances spoken to a terrified father with no hope—a deeply distraught man who just learned that his little girl had died. These are not empty words. They’re not. They can’t be because…
