What do your possessions say about you?

The Danger of Possessions By Wesley K. Willmer

 What’s your perspective on your possessions? Did you know that possessions are mentioned in Scripture three times more than love, seven times more than prayer, and eight times more than belief? Clearly, the link between stewards and their stuff is very important to God, and the manner in which the topic appears reveals that believers…

Generational perspectives of time

Different Perspectives on Time By Alec Hill

Each Generation Views Time Differently Most young adults see the future and time as having a long trajectory. Looking ahead to a seemingly endless time horizon, they prize having novel experiences, meeting new people, and learning new things. Priorities include exploration and achievement. By contrast, those of us who are older tend to live more…

The Broken Bessings.

When the Blessing Breaks By Andrea Leigh Capuyan

What happens when the blessing breaks? What happens when the blessing breaks? Broken open. Exposed. The tearing of the crust. Soft and tender bread was revealed—the promise of all we need for nourishment and healing.  We come to the table like His followers long ago, remembering His sacrifice, partaking in His promise, and receiving His…

Instead, the discussion is centered around…

Post-traumatic Growth

The Beautiful Truth About Post-Traumatic Growth   There is a beautiful truth about post-traumatic growth that might be easy for many to miss.

Simple, not complex.

It’s Simple, Not Complex By Dr. Bob Snyder

Resist Making It So Complex Sometimes I make following Jesus more complex than necessary.  The Apostle Peter suggested that it involves a proactive positive step and a proactive boundary-setting. “So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any…

Time to Rest

God Gives Rest By Ed McDowell

Are you ready to receive his rest? It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones. Psalms 127:2 NLT I write this near the beginning of a season of rest (sabbatical) granted to me…

The Challenge We Share By R. Scott Rodin

The Common Challenges of Every Leader It may seem presumptuous to propose that there is one challenge to leadership that is so universally experienced that it is consistently at the top of the list of reasons leaders struggle and fail. But a recent experience has moved me deeply and convinced me that there may be…
