How close to do you feel to Jesus today? Does he seem near? Or does he seem distant? If you are like me, that feeling changes from day to day. The truth is that Jesus is always near – he, through his spirit, is with us always. But the reality of our existence is that [...]

How Much Light Does It Take?
Posted in Grace, Hope on March 2, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I have a question for you today: How much light does it take to be visible in a dark room? I heard that question last night at a conference and I have been thinking about it ever since. The talk was on changing the world and the question was asked to make us think about [...]
Seasons Change

I have been here in Richardson for a Board meeting since Sunday night, and yesterday, I was standing in line waiting to order lunch. I looked out the window and just outside was a planter full of flowers. I had to remind myself that it was February 29 because this is what I saw. As [...]
I Believe But . . .

This morning the devotional reading was in the book of Mark. It was the story of a man’s son that had been possessed by a demon since birth, to the extent that the disciples could not cast it out. The father approached Jesus asking him to do something. Jesus responded with a comment about a [...]
God Still Transforms

Yesterday, I mentioned being at a men’s retreat this past weekend. I was refreshed and renewed spiritually through the course of God working in my own life but even more so in watching God work in the lives of others and hearing their stories. One man, Joey, has been out of prison now for a [...]

Tonight we will begin a study on the book of Ecclesiastes. It is a book in the Old Testament attributed to King Solomon. Solomon was credited as the most wise person in the world. God had blessed him with an uncanny understanding of the world and how it works. That is why this book is [...]
A Prayer for God to Move

Have you ever desired to see God move. I mean, as good followers, we know that God is at work all around us. We believe that God moves every day. But do you ever want to see it – experience it? I read about amazing spiritual renewals in our nation over 100 years ago and [...]
The Simplicity of Grace
Posted in Formation, Grace, Hope on February 1, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Have you ever noticed that we have a real knack for making things more complicated than they need to be or than they really are? Often we get so pulled into the frenzy of things that we can’t look at an issue from the big picture view. William Wordsworth is one of my favorite Romantic [...]
How’s Your Faith?

Time for a Tuesday Faith Check. The scripture for my time with God today was out of the book of Mark. It was the story of the woman who was healed of a hemorrhage that had plagued her for twelve years of her life. She heard that Jesus was going to be in her village and [...]
Fan It Back Into Flame
Posted in Formation, Grace, Hope on January 26, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Today, during my time of being present with God, I read the first chapter of 2 Timothy. As I read, Paul’s words reminded me of something we all need from time to time. He assured Timothy that he believed Timothy possessed strong faith. He shared that he had seen this faith in Timothy’s grandmother and [...]
