A few years back, I kept a garden – nothing major; some tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and cooking herbs. It took a lot of work and consistency. In the spring, I prepped the soil, pulled weeds, tilled the soil, and then waited for all the cold weather to pass before planting seeds. I would first place the seeds in water and let them sprout a bit. I then planted the seeds, gave the soil nutrients, and watered them. I was expecting to see growth. Not only growth, but eventually something tasty to eat! Why did I expect that? Well, because I planted seeds! The Bible tells us that it’s the same ..read more

How do we glorify God in our work? Are we working for God or are we working for man?  Colossians 3:23-24: “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance.

Sometimes you may wonder what worth you have or value you get from doing your job. Even in ministry or serving in any church capacity at times can elicit the ..read more

My version of “This or That” today isn’t going to be about staying in or going out, being a night owl or early bird, texting or calling, hot Cheetos or Takis, gym rat or couch potato, Dad’s favorite or Mom’s favorite; and the list goes on and gets creative! No, today’s version is going to explore two stories in the Bible about being trapped in a storm. One version teaches us to rebuke it, and the other version tells us to walk through it. Let’s dive in.
