The world needs hope desperately right now, and I’m suddenly without work, essentially. Thus, I’m going to have time to share more regularly all the things God has shown me about Psalm 91 in the last year! For those who are just now joining me, please start at the beginning of this study: Psalm 91: …

More lessons in trust… I don’t remember exactly the first time He stopped me. I know He tried to stop me years and years ago, but I thought I knew better. But I think it was a year ago or so that the Holy Spirit got more insistent. I was talking to someone… maybe Him… …
Trust vs. my tongue: the eternal battle inside of me Read More »
I haven’t shared too much in the last two years compared to years ago. It’s been a long season of learning to trust, deeper and deeper and deeper, as God has walked my family through all sorts of things. He’s been working in me, but so much of it has been either intensely personal or …

God loves peace. War is ugly – full of death and destruction and things that are not of God. God says to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Then there’s this phrase that people use – a “man of peace.” Many people think that Christians ought to be those men and women of peace. I’m …
I love stories, particularly when they illustrate a deep truth in a non-pretentious way. I think I (and many others) got this from God. After all, Jesus used stories to illustrate truths! One of my very, very favorite stories is a fantasy trilogy. This story has magic and mages, swords and prophecies, as well as one …
I feel led to share this again…perhaps because, as my pastor so accurately said last night, God is stirring in His people. He’s calling many of us to step outside our comfort zones, to be obedient, and to trust Him on deeper levels. I wrote this almost exactly two years ago… but it’s just as …
