I Will Worship

May we lift our eyes to and fix our attention on the Lord who is our strength, our hope, and all together good in every way. Though this…we, as God’s people, will worship.

The Warnings of Pride / The Promises of Humility

God’s Word reveals to us over and over, how much He both knows and loves His created people.

Here is one way, I see that play out in Scripture. In the book of Proverbs (and elsewhere), the Lord gives us both warnings about pride and promises about humility.

Stars or Sand

It is so evident to see the organized creation in this and the mark of an intelligent designer…Scripture says the creation and heavens declare the glory of God (Ps 19:1), and that God determines the number of stars and gives names to all of them (Ps 147:4). We serve an all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-present God.

Conforming Glory

We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28 (CSB) I love that verse. It was my grandpa’s favorite verse. He had a wooden plaque with that verse etched in it. That plaque now hangs in my office, and […]

Worship, Work, and Wife

You’ve prioritized the Sunday gathering in your schedule. And now it’s Sunday morning. Now what? Now that you’re gathered together with other believers, how should you approach that time together?

12 Stone Memorials

Joshua 4 records the Israelite nation as they finish crossing the Jordan River on dry ground. Verse 1 begins with this… Joshua 4:1-8: When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua, 2 “Take twelve men from the people, from each tribe a man, 3 and command them, saying, ‘Take twelve stones from here out of […]

To ‘Fear God’ Means…

“Fear God.” This command is given over 100 times in Scripture. It is referenced 20 times in the book of Proverbs alone. To fear God means that we live our entire lives in reverence to, or in a sense, with our knees bowed before Him. So if you were to drill it down a bit […]

What do you call God?

Psalm 9:10: Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. The way you address God or refer to Him is one indicator to the depth of your relationship or lack thereof it. Think of it this way. What you call me reveals how well […]
