This month, I usually meditate on the book of Psalms. December is always filled with mixed emotions. I find that the comforting rhythm of the Psalms soothes my restless emotions. They are songs that can remind us that God is with us. He is for us. Even when we feel the world is against us.…

For this week’s special post, I wanted to write a little bit about how difficult it can be to be thankful. Especially when it feels like things going well is a given. I hope you are encouraged to think deeply about what you are thankful for or should be thankful for. Remembering that even life…

Truth and lies are part of human nature. We cannot have one without the other. Honesty is more difficult for some and it’s something I have struggled with. The Bible says Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Sometimes when it’s easier to tell a white lie we don’t see how that action…

Our topic for this month is Nature. This includes the nature that is within us and around us. In our current world we wrestle with the good and the sin within ourselves and the creation around us. We hope you think on the beauty of God’s creation and his restoration of our broken human nature…

Jude chapter 1 is a difficult passage to read. It warns of ungodliness and self-indulgence. Last year, I was struggling with relationships. In church, friendships can be difficult to maintain. Especially for someone like me who spends most of the week not in church or doing church things. Finding a balance was tough. The church…
