    Let’s Make the Waiting Worth It

  • David and Goliath: How Our Stories Can Slay Giants

    David and Goliath: How Our Stories Can Slay Giants

    David picked up five stones that he knew had defeated his adversaries in the past to use against this giant Goliath. These five stones may have seemed insignificant, or unworthy of defeating the giant, but with God behind them, they were unstoppable. When we face a giant, we need to…

    Psalm 23 and You: Midweek Bonus Devotional

  • Introduction to the Story of David

    Introduction to the Story of David

    David is such a great example of what to do, and what not do. He knows about being unworthy. He knows about waiting. He knows about great sin and revenge. He knows forgiveness and friendship. He knows victory, and he also knows the bitter sting of defeat. He knows fear,…

  • When This is Over, Who Will You Be?

    When This is Over, Who Will You Be?

    What are we spending our time doing? Are we whining and complaining and filling our time building idols in the desert? Are we complaining about the daily manna God is giving us just because we can’t quite see the promised land? Is it possible to shift our focus from ourselves…

    Grieving Loss and Trusting the Goodness of God: We Can Do Both

    The World Does Not Need Our Condemnation; It Needs Our Love

    We are sinners, we are condemned (without Jesus), but we were not put on this earth to condemn others. We were called to love. When Jesus was asked what was the greatest commandment his answer was to love God, and then love your neighbor. He did not say love God,…

  • Set The Precedent in Unprecedented Times

    Set The Precedent in Unprecedented Times

    People keep throwing around the word “unprecedented,” when it comes to what the world is going through right now. And I think we really need to think about that word: unprecedented. If this whole situation is unprecedented, we get to set a precedent. We get to decide what our standards…

    Do Not Grow Weary of Doing Good…At Home

    It’s not going to be easy to be present and engage with our kids all the time, but we can certainly try a little bit. I encourage you all to talk about the Lord with your kids at least once a day in these next few weeks. We have very…

  • For Sleep-Deprived Mamas: His Mercies Are New Every Morning

    For Sleep-Deprived Mamas: His Mercies Are New Every Morning

    “His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23).” If I could just get through the night, his mercies would be new when the light broke over the horizon. When I saw that first hint of light, I could breathe a sigh of relief because his mercies were new. Every day…
