Jesus Immanuel
As we pause in this interval between Christmas Day and New Years Eve it is for many of us a time for relaxation. Present giving and carols are over; some are in full holiday mode. It’s a time for recharging the batteries so to speak… a time to reflect. It’s amazing how Bible verses we…

The hike of faith!
Describing faith as a hike may seem strange, but faith was never meant to be a cakewalk. Living a life of faith as a Christian can be compared to hiking those mountain trails.

Crossing the River!
There is something unique about crossing a river and we all have made those crossings when traveling in our cars over bridges. Sometimes the river may be quite wide, but the feeling we get is still the same. It’s that leaving one side and then reaching the land on the other side… a crossing over…

Keep sparkling!
When you think of the word sparkle… what are the first images that come to mind? Maybe a woman’s evening dress with its glistening sequins… so stunning, but more than that, the sparkling glitter affects us! Or consider one of those fireworks sparklers, it ignites, we wave it back and forth and showers of sparks…

A Divided Heart
One of the most moving passages in the Bible is where Jesus tells us that he stands at the door and knocks. If we respond to that knock and open the door, he then promises to come in at our invitation, to share life together. It is never God’s intention to discipline us for no…
