The story of Jonah can be both simple and complicated. While we often teach it to our children, we don’t often dig into the meat that is available for adult Christians. There are so many lessons to be found in this story of disobedience and redemption. The parallels for the path of Christianity are amazingly […]
Sometimes, God leads us to ask ourselves the hard questions, and sometimes our lack of faith does the same thing. Is what we believe to be true relevant in the chaotic world around us?

The Journey of a Christian is constantly taking us forward. We can only grow closer to Christ if we are willing to change, to be constantly working to allow God to move our orbit closer. Within that change are often steps, path changes, closing of old doors and the opening of new ones. Sometimes the […]

We can be a stiff-necked people. Sometimes we simply do not like the way God answers our prayers or we become reluctant to choose to embrace the people and events he leads us to. The first step in handling this kind of reluctance is to acknowledge that it exists and then stepping forward with faith, […]

God is always sending us messages. Messages of all kinds. Our problem is that we often close our ears and our minds when those messages come to us. They may come in the shape of words, opportunities, wisdom from the past, or even in the events around us. It is our responsibility to listen and […]
