Can You See the Grace?

Watch for the grace of God on others. Recognize it. Encourage it. Help them find ways to use it and grow. You might be surprised at the result.

He’s Good All the Time

The Lord is good and HIs mercy endures forever. That's God's favorite chorus. Sing it regularly and it will improve your attitude.

Don’t be a Stranger

I'm old. Sometimes I just need to vent, but other times it seems important to share that with someone else. So here you go: I believe that church is important, and so does God. In fact, He put His Son in charge of it!

Why Do We Anoint with Oil?

Anointing the sick with oil has been practiced for millennia. Have you ever wondered why? I did. Turns out it's a very important part of our healing tool kit.

Consult the Author

God intends for you to read His Word. The fact that we have a book written by God to reveal Himself to us is truly marvelous. Even more remarkable is the presence of His Spirit within us, helping us grasp the message. We have a great advantage.

Praying Over the Sick

In our modern western church, the practice of praying over the sick in a persistent, corporate manner seems almost lost. When James said "pray over" the sick, I think he had much more in mind that what we see in most church services. God wants us healed. Let's follow His instructions.

Jesus Is in the House

I think we sometimes forget who we’re dealing with. We tend to think of Jesus walking the shores of Galilee teaching and healing and interacting as a man. But when we gather on this side of the cross, who is really in our midst?

Y’all Come!

As we gather with the saints this week, let us take a moment to reflect on the importance of this occasion. Jesus came to Earth as a physical manifestation of God's love. God loved us so much that he gave us his son. And He didn't stop there!

The Hope of His Calling

We are the Church: a gathering of people who have been called out. Although the calling is individual, when we receive it we become part of the assembly. I pray that for you today that you will know what you are called from and what you are called to. That calling is the source of hope, both for now and for eternity.

God’s Gift Wrapping

The church is a great big collection of gifts. Each one is unique. Each has its own wrapping. You have to deal with the package to get the gift. It will be worth it.
