Bible
God blesses those people who want everyone to be treated right more than to eat or drink. They will be given what they want! Our family is reading through the book of Matthew together currently, and we came to chapter five today. Many may know that chapter five is where you find the words Jesus [...]

As I mentioned a while back, I’ve been reading through Paul’s letter to the Christians in Corinth. (1 Corinthians.) I’m trying to do it in bigger chunks to get a broader perspective of what Paul is talking about in this letter. It’s one that has always slightly baffled me. Paul (a life-long rule keeper) speaks [...]
For some reason, I keep wanting to read the book of 1 Corinthians lately. I haven’t figured out why just yet, but it keeps popping into my mind. So, I’ve begun a few times, but I also have felt like I want to read the whole thing through in one setting, to perhaps get a [...]
It has struck me again recently just how significant Jesus is. It’s not just that our entire calendar is based roughly on the year of his birth some two thousand years ago now. (Though that’s pretty significant.) It’s not just that there are people all over the entire world who know his name and use [...]
My two boys and I have been trying to read through the book of Luke this month. At least the beginning, where we got to read again the story of Jesus’ arrival. It really is both ordinary and incredible all at once. We read the part about the angel appearing to the guys who were [...]
But happy are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God.Psalms 146:5 (NLT) At our home school group yesterday, a friend of ours spoke of the people he had met and is currently helping in Sierra Leone, one of whom is a 10-year-old boy named [...]
So… it always happens this way… In the middle of intense busyness and while feeling quite burdened and overly stressed … a song was birthed. I really don’t do that much anymore. I can easily push them aside, the little lyrics and melodies and piano/guitar riffs. I have other stuff to do. And, well, I [...]
This morning I had a little quiet time before the children woke up (because I got up early to see our friends off on their journey home) and I decided to pick up my Bible and read something random. I’ve been reading through Genesis, love to read the Gospels, recently read the book of Amos, [...]
Now, hear me out. I have a feeling my words here could be misunderstood. But I also think I may be seeing something from a slightly new angle (for me) that may also be helpful to you. As I’ve been reading Genesis again, I’ve been watching for how God is interacting with us (people) in [...]
You have probably seen the words, “God With Us,” around Christmas time. Perhaps along with the word, “Emmanuel.” In my mind, it conjures up images of the baby Jesus, lying in a feed box. They are Chrismas words. In fact, it’s the theme and title (sort of) of our Christmas album. As I’ve been reading [...]
