Sometimes it takes heartache for us to realize how much we are loved. Brothers and sisters come out of the woodwork to express how much you mean to them and that you are in their thoughts and prayers.
I’m going to be preaching this Sunday at Providence. And the title of the sermon is “We’re In This […]

Last night, on our way home after doing some running around, we opted to stop in at Arbys to grab a few sandwiches and fries. We definitely capitalized on the 5 for $6.95 deal. The gentleman next to us approached the cash register. The kid asked him if he could help him.
The customer responded, […]
“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all…”
(I Cor. 5.14 NIV)
Christ’s Spirit indwells us,
And His love compels us,
To go and love with the love we are shown.
As salt and as light,
To inflame and ignite,
The passions of those estranged and alone.
And when we obey,
These frail jars of clay

Of late, I’ve been struck by the necessity of being replenished daily, moment by moment, by the Spirit of the living God. And it’s not just that we leak, as my pastor once observed in a sermon, though I am indeed a porous vessel for the Holy Spirit. But the reason I need constant refilling […]

And then they are humble and gracious enough to bring the fruit of their devotion down to the rest of us. Philip Manthey (my dad) and Phil […]
Many people give something up for lent. Here is the discipline that I will be engaged in for the next forty days. Scot McKnight, author, teacher and prolific blogger, has given us this challenge from his blog, Jesus Creed:
I am asking my blog’s readers to consider a challenge for Lent. No, it is not giving […]
Do you know anyone who has a servant’s heart? They will go out of their way, it seems, to serve others, to think of others first. Do you know anyone like that? Now if they asked a favor of you, are you more or less prone to go the extra step to make sure they […]
The Holy Spirit, through His faithful servant Andrew Murray, reminded me this morning that Jesus laying down His life meant more than His crucifixion on Golgotha’s hill. That was the culmination of a lifetime of dying to Himself.
And we, as those redeemed by His sacrifice, are called to the same moment-by-moment laying down of our lives, […]
