Past, Present, and Future
You try to lay your finger on the present, [but] the present is only the transition of time from the future to the past.

Pastor, Do You Love to Preach More Than Anything?
To love to preach is one thing, to love those to whom we preach is quite another.

O The Goodness of the Lord
Embracing Brokenness
The Bible leaves no doubt about the necessity of embracing personal brokenness. We see it played out in the lives of biblical hero after biblical hero, from Moses and David to Paul and Peter. Even Jesus Himself was broken. He had to experience that devastation, not because of anything He did, but because of our sin. Not even the holy Son of God was spared the pain and suffering inherent in being separated from intimacy with God because of our offensive choices. As much as anything, the fact that our holy and righteous Savior had to endure brokenness in order to fulfill His destiny is an unmistakable sign to us of how important it is to abandon anything that stands in the way of our complete and sole reliance upon God for true life.

Christ Died for Each Person
He died not for men but for each man. If each man had been the only man made He would have done no less.

God Hides Blessing in Trouble
Please pray for my family today. It is a very difficult day, and we desperately need God’s blessings in our time of trial.
God often hides His blessing in trouble or trial, which makes it all the sweeter when it comes our way.
