Thomas was one of Jesus' 12 disciples. He has unfortunately been labeled as a doubter. He missed Jesus' first post-resurrection appearance to His disciples. He had a backstage VIP pass to the greatest event in all of history and he didn't even show up. One Sunday later, Jesus and Thomas finally came face to face. Thank God for the oddball and the o…

Spring arrived a little early this year. It happened Tuesday night - March 19 at 10:06 pm CST. We crossed the equatorial line once again where day and night are everywhere on earth, for just a brief moment, of approximate equal length. Of course, we didn't literally step across that line. Earth glided across like a curling stone, and you & I - well…

Soul down. Not as in, "Why are you downcast, O my soul?" (Psalm 43:5), but more like "Slow your soul down." You are carrying way too much weight. You are accelerating at way too fast a speed.

Twenty-five years ago, I came across an article about Taos Pueblo in Northern New Mexico. Every year the Pueblo Indians who live around Taos observe "the time of being still." From December 15th to January 15th, the pueblo shuts down from the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life and observes a whole month of silent contemplation. Imagine an en…

THE WELL OF THE SOULS A few October days in Yosemite found me sitting on the edge of a valley full of thought pondering faith, boring Christianity, and a lack of curiosity among the faithful.

The Old Testament Book of Job is like walking across a brutal desert with someone with a hole in their canteen. It is a long season's stretch across low terrain.

All of us have walked through seasons where it seemed God had nothing to say to us. This can be a little disconcerting, especially when we have well-meaning friends who presume to speak in God's place.

In the spring of 2021 as we were still in the shadows of a worldwide pandemic, I was drawn to explore the Old Testament Book of Job during a midweek worship gathering I founded several years ago.

Gethsemane means "oil press." Jesus confesses to His disciples, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow." The forces of darkness and evil are already desc…

To curate is to bring together something unique - sometimes, something that has never been brought together before or has been apart for a long, long time. It may have all originated from the same source, from the same Creator, but it has been a long time in coming back around to one specific place. And sometimes that place is you. Today's appetize…

We've all heard about The Box. Most of us probably have a Box collection. Everybody wants us to have one. Or if we don't have one yet, they encourage us to make one.
