O Yahweh, our Adonay, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! Your glory is sung above the heavens. (v.1) I wish you could see what I see; the lens does not give proper justice to the beauty. The beauty of spring, watching the trees stretch and yawn, waking from the long sleep of winter. […]

I don’t shock easily. I have been around a long time and have known all kinds of people. None of us, not even Christians, even distantly approaches perfection. However, I must admit I was recently appalled to read in the “Church Around the World” publication that “data suggests that the overwhelming majority of Christian young […]

Sean jumped in the car after school today, threw a paper in my direction, and said “Read this!” I glanced over the newsletter and saw the announcement of a new school-wide project. As he buckled in, he announced that we needed to go home and find shoes that we don’t need or that don’t fit […]

I lived most of my life to please others. I was the person they needed and wanted me to be. It did not matter who I really was inside; if I didn’t fit their mold, I changed myself to make them happy. So many years buried under so many masks, it’s no wonder I lost […]

Meditations for Holy Week
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Luke 23:42
He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved ~ you and your household.”
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. Acts 16:31
This is why “it was credited to him (Abraham) as righteousness.” The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness ~ for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” Romans 4:22~25
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, 'Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.' For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile ~ the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:9~13
