Jeremiah 31:7-14
Ephesians 1:3-14
John 1:(1-9), 10-18

Intentional Disciples has a link to an interesting chart that shows which books of the Bible are considered canonical in the various Christian traditions. I had been aware of the Apocrypha and its use in the Catholic and mainline Protestant traditions (also used in the Amish tradition). But I was totally unaware of the vast [...]

A beautiful poem by Douglas Groothuis at Chronic Illness and Christian Faith. Take time to absorb it. Take time to meditate on it. Take time to live it, everyday, with every person you meet. If we truly live out this poem, we will live a wise and blessed life. And we will be a blessing [...]

Luke 2:22-40
How do you respond to God’s salvation? When God comes and mixes things up, how do we feel?
Simeon and Anna are wonderful pictures of faith becoming sight. What hearts dedicated to God.
This story is such a beautiful picture of faith and sight. What are we looking forward to see from God? What would set [...]

We long, we pray, we wish for God to act. And then He answers. He wants us to be part of His plan. He wants to take us into uncharted territory. How do we respond to such a call? We may want God to act but not through us! Yet this is how God [...]

Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11
After we make a straight path for God, He comes. He comes with healing and justice. Justice for the oppressor, healing for the oppressed. Where are we brokenhearted? Where do we need God to heal?
The wonder of God is that He is the healer of His fallen creation. He longs to make right [...]
