God’s Spirit: It has long been clear to me that mankind is so much more than the world might have us believe. We are created with a spirit that images God (Genesis 1:26), and in fact, if we follow Jesus Christ we have His Spirit living within us (2 Timothy 1:14). This fact is never…
A friend was on a road trip with her son a few days ago when they passed this church, and her son Bo said, “Someday when I grow up, I want to fix broken churches.” It was a strangely odd, yet telling comment that tugged at my friend’s heart (and mine when I heard it)….
Have you ever had something you wanted to say, but your words got in the way?
I think we’d all like to break our mirrors and throw them away at times. They help us and they hurt us. Ultimately, sometimes they control us.

I’ve been in a little bit of a funk for a few weeks, struggling with some decisions and change that came into my life. Maybe, if you’re like me, you struggle in times of change too. You wonder whether you’ve heard God right, wavering as to whether the current change is related to a lack of listening,…
In a little over a month, our daughter Katy will leave to spend her fall semester studying in Italy. There she will complete classes for her Biblical Studies major, including studying the Italian Reformation in the land where it all took place. After that, she hopes to spend another semester in Germany and Switzerland during the 500th anniversary of…
“If someone had written this year in the news as a novel, I would have ridiculed the plot as amateurishly unrealistic.” -Russell Moore Grieved? Helpless? Disgusted? Numb? What’s next?
