“Remove Christ from the Scriptures and there is nothing left”, states Martin Luther. That is so true. Without Christ there would not be a way back to God. Without Christ there would not be life and more life to come. Without Christ we would be lost. That’s why I agree wholeheartedly with Paul writing: For my part, I am going to boast about nothing but the Cross of our Master, Jesus Christ. Because of that Cross, I have been crucified…
Are you discouraged? Burdened? Homesick? Burned-out? Cross back into Life! God is waiting for you to cross back home to him. Crab your Bible because “the Holy Scriptures are our letters from home” like Augustine put it. The Bible will be your map back to Life. “The remedy for discouragement is the Word of God. When you feed your heart and mind with its truth, you regain your perspective and find renewed strength.”(Warren Wiersbe) Stick with what you learned…
We all know times when we have felt like being in a cold, moldy, dark tunnel. It feels that in that place in time there is no way out. But “hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don’t give up.” (Anne Lamott) You don’t give up and you cling to the promises of the Bible….
It’s Melodic Monday! Today’s song is Beautiful, Beautiful by Francesca Battistelli. Such a wonderful song about God’s love. This song reminds me of a quote by Anne Lamott: “I do not understand the mystery of grace — only that it meets us where we are and does not leave us where it found us.”Listen, enjoy and be blessed! God loves you more than you can ever know! Don’t know how it is You looked at meAnd saw the person that I…
Airports can be fascinating places. Lots of opportunities for people watching for sure. But they can be very stressful places, too. People are weary, ready to be somewhere else. Walkways are long and fatigue is almost always present. But all of that is part of traveling or getting from the place A to the place B. Moving walkways are attempts to make travellers journeys a bit easier. Sometimes I take them, sometimes I am happy to walk between so many…

It’s Melodic Monday! I’m really excited about today’s song: Before the Morning by Josh Wilson. It hits perfectly my mood of singing and dancing before the Lord. No matter what we are going through today or at this point of our lives there’s better things in store for us. Hold on, dare to believe and keep on singing! Do you wonder why you have to,feel the things that hurt you,if there’s a God who loves you,where is He now? Maybe,…
How would your life be different if you would dare to “live as if Christ died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back tomorrow “(Martin Luther)? This question has been staying with me for quite a long time now. We are all called to rethink our life with Jesus Christ. Are we fully following him? Would you be ready to state like Jack Hyles “I’d rather die in the will of God than to live outside of it”? Paul…
