Sometimes we over-think things. There are moments when we need to keep things simple.
Now I clearly enjoy deep study of the Scripture. And I get frustrated when people don’t feel a need to learn more about God and the richness of his will and plan for our lives and the world, but. . .
there are [...]

So why do we do things like . . .
Praising God.? You know, worshiping him. Singing songs about how great he is.
Giving money to church? Or to the poor and needy in other places.
Fasting or meditating on God? So maybe not a lot of people do these things, but why would people do these kinds [...]

So I’ll just admit it, I’m a history nerd, geek, whatever you want to call it.
I’m the guy who would find almost any PBS history documentary worth stopping to watch- “ooh, the history of the Carpet Baggers in Atlanta from 1867-1869″- not a real documentary that I’m aware of)
But as nerdy as it may sound, [...]

These are the kind of words we need for times like these.
The Lord reigns. . .
We need a Lord who reigns. Now I’m all for doing as much in this world as we can to try to fix things, but has there ever been a point lately when you looked out at the world [...]

Don’t you love worship Easter Sunday?
Strange way to start off a post in the middle of June right?
Well, here’s my thinking. There is no equal to the way worship starts off Easter Sunday. You know that feeling. There’s almost a tension in the sanctuary as people are gathered together. Packed closely. And there’s anticipation for [...]

What was your thought the first time you looked at the oceans?
Maybe you’ve just recently gone on vacation to the ocean. . .
There’s no doubt about the power stored up in them is there. They’re just so immense. And the waves are so powerful. As a Minnesota kid, I didn’t see a lot of oceans. [...]

It’s a universal truth- the time when almost everyone wants to reach out to God is when they’re in trouble.
Listen/watch the words from Psalm 80 (this connects to a number of psalms, but Psalm 80 is at the 16 minute mark).
Sometimes this kind of bothers me. Not that I don’t do it myself. I do, [...]

“The richest man is not the one has the most, but the one who needs the least” (Spanish Proverb)
Psalm 73 takes us on a journey that defines one of the most difficult experiences for a believer. It starts by dealing with the question, “Why do good things happen to bad people while bad things happen [...]

I had a lot of favorite songs growing up, but one of them was this one right here, “Sent Forth by God’s Blessing”.
And what I liked about it was a couple of things. One, I have to admit as a kid that sometimes I was excited because it was a always a closing song and [...]

I kind of feel like I’m going out on a limb with this one, but as I was reading through Psalm 63 and watching the video here, I was wondering something. . . .
I was wondering if it might be a good thing to occasionally go through a spiritually dry period in life. Can it [...]
