One Small Step
Imagine a time when T.V.’s had rabbit ears, rotary phones made sparks to dial out and people listened to music on record players. In that day, people were called “computers” until IBM introduced a data processing system for NASA filling an entire room but far less powerful than your iPhone. Now, go to the Moon! […]

Shiloh
Nestled on a grassy hillside 25 miles north of Jerusalem, you’ll find some excavated stones with lots of scattered pieces of pottery quietly paving the ground. But 3,500 years ago, Joshua made a home for the tabernacle in Shiloh and it became the center of worship of Jehovah God for the next 369 years. As […]

Distracted Driving
Look out! That was a close one! It’s true. I can get distracted while driving, and I’m pretty sure many of you also struggle with the same problem. Every time we get behind the wheel, we are faced with the challenge of keeping our eyes on the road. There are so many things that can […]

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem
My wife and I recently had the incredible blessing to travel to Israel for the first time. What a unique country! So resilient and fruitful. Such geographic, political and religious diversity. Modern yet ancient. Historic yet prophetic. Painful reminders of disobedience and glorious testaments to perfect obedience. The eyes of the world are fixed on […]

The Fragrance of Prayer
Every morning and evening, Aaron would burn incense on the golden Altar of Incense located immediately before the veil separating the Holy Place from the Ark of the Covenant in Holy of Holies. Constantly burning, it was the closest object in the Tabernacle to the glorious Presence of God. The incense was made from a […]

Make Me Smile
Looking into the face of another, there’s nothing quite like a smile. Think about the face-to-face interaction between a parent and child. Parents spend hours of face time trying to get their newborn to smile. Then finally, around 6-8 weeks old, it happens, and mom and dad rejoice! For what cannot yet be communicated with […]

A planting of the Lord
Holding a seed in your hand, it’s not much to look at. But don’t be deceived, an incredible miracle lies quietly waiting to happen – for life is found just beneath its tiny, unimpressive shell. So full of potential, it must patiently wait to fulfill its purpose. And those who dare to plant, who courageously […]

Sonrise
Watching the sun rise is truly amazing. One minute it’s night, but then a wonderful miracle of transformation occurs – that incredible moment when an uncontainable source of light breaks over the horizon and banishes the darkness simply by its presence. On Christmas Eve 2000 years ago, the world turned and the sun rose, but […]

I can’t get no satisfaction
It’s hard to stay contented in this age of discontentment. Not long ago, people simply repaired things rather than continually replacing. Ever wonder why fashions have to change every single year – why closets were much smaller in older homes – why warranties used to be way longer – why fixer-upper shows are so popular […]

Rise and Shine
The dictionary defines it by what it is not. But much more than the physical absence of light, darkness is a supernaturally powerful force. It’s all around us – lying in wait – longing to consume every void. It is militant and invasive; proud and aggressive. Accepting no compromise, it seeks to dominate, divide and […]
