Wrought With God by admin

I’m getting more and more excited (and honestly a little anxious) as I think about our upcoming short-term mission trip to Stockholm, Sweden (May 26 – June 5). Our team of seven people is certainly comprised of some very capable people and I’m convinced the Lord has been leading us from the start. Yet, the enormity of just seven of us flying half way across the world to share Jesus in a foreign land is somewhat terrifying. I think I’m beginning to realize the only sensible position for us is to be wrought with God.

Parents — your children are SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU! They are so blessed!

I went on a walk to stretch my legs and breathe some fresh air. It just so happened that it was also the time when many kids were getting off the bus after school. The tree-lined street was filled with children running to their respective homes.

This made me think of my kids. I thought about how quickly the time really has flown since they were born. The day is fast approaching when they will walk by themselves (without me or my wife next to them). That thought was both sad and encouraging to me. It was sad because they grow too fast but it was also encouraging because I know they are being equipped and loved every day as they grow.

Blessed by admin

“Blessed be the name of The Lord now and forever.” Psalm 113:12

I recently read this verse in my quiet time and one word stuck out to me more than the others; the word was “now”.

It is easy to “Bless the name of the Lord” when things are going well. But, the word “now” implies the moment we’re in. Whatever this moment holds in your life, whatever situation “now” finds you in, you need to bless the name of the Lord. Read more →

A Raspberry Parable by admin

“Then the disciples came and said to him, ‘Why do you speak to them in parables?’” Matthew 13:10

John and Steve had been roommates in college. After graduation they moved to different parts of the country. They stayed in touch mainly through Facebook, but they hadn’t seen each other in years. Finally, Steve had a chance to visit John on a business trip. They enjoyed catching up over dinner and after the meal, John showed Steve around his new home, including his yard. John had worked hard during his first few years in his new house and he had planted a number of trees and plants.

Resurrection by Tony D'Amico

This past weekend we celebrated Easter — the celebration of the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s a time to remember what Jesus did for us when He conquered death on the cross. You might still wonder, what is the significance of the Resurrection and what did it accomplish for us?

First, we can know that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ justifies us before God. In Romans 4:25 Paul writes… “Who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.” Justification means, “the action of declaring or making righteous in the sight of God.” We can take great comfort in this truth. Because of our sinful nature we are separated from God and are not at all capable of a relationship with him (see more in Romans 6:28 and Isaiah 59:2). But, Jesus stepped in and took our punishment. He was the payment for our sins, something that we couldn’t do on our own!

Faithful by admin

“Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son.” Hebrews 3:5-6

In Exodus, we read that it took some time for Moses to accept the fact that God had huge plans for his life. You might wonder why that was?
