Cry Out!
You don’t have to be alive for too long to know that life is full of problems. Computer problems, car problems, money problems, job problems, back problems, people problems.
And though some problems may be more severe than others...

Don't Be An Earth Brain
You've heard the saying, so heavenly minded, no earthly good. I'm not the first to point out how unbiblical this cliche actually is. It seems to imply that heavenly-minded people would be more productive if they were a little more earthly-minded. According to Paul, just the opposite is true...
Don't Be Fooled
Paul wrote to the church in Colossae because a group of new believers was on the verge of abandoning their faith. And it wasn’t outright denial of the Gospel they received; rather, it was a replacement with a gospel that sounded right but was dead wrong...
Onward!
What a profound way to start your day.
Forgetting what is behind, I strain toward what is ahead.
What if you started today like that? What if you approached your day with a clean slate? A fresh canvas?
Most of us (ok, all of us) wake up with baggage from yesterday.
Courage is Contagious
Welcome to Philippians! This is a power-packed, joy-filled letter written from prison by the Apostle Paul.
He has great affection for the Philippians and shares a special relationship with them because of their support and partnership with the Apostle.
Many Christians name Philippians as their favorite book of the Bible and it’s hard to disagree!
Be Like God
It took me a while to get past the first verse of this chapter. It’s more than a mouthful. It’s more than incredible. It’s so marvelous and so great that it’s almost unbelievable.
“Be imitators of God.”
Let’s slow that down.
Be. Imitators. Of. God.
Knowing Beyond Knowing
Ephesians 3...Wow!
That's the only way I know how to respond after reading this chapter of Scripture. Over the years, Ephesians has captured my intellect, formed my theological understanding, inspired my worship of God, caused me to love Jesus more, and shaped the trajectory of my life. And still, these Holy Spirit-inspired words are so powerful that they leave me near speechless. What is there left to say after a chapter like Ephesians 3?
The World is Out of (My) Control
Chaos. Stupidity. Foolishness. Irrational thinking. Degradation. Outlandish logic. Censoring. Canceling. Right is wrong and wrong is right.
But enough about Facebook.
Don't Waste a Moment
Colossians is loaded. A hard-hitting, fast-paced, concentrated bundle of truth.
So in that spirit, here are 5 short takeaways as you run into your day...
Don't Go Chasing Shadows
Make no mistake, friends. We live in a battlefield. It’s a battlefield of ideas and a battlefield of “fine-sounding arguments” and “deceptive philosophy.” How can we navigate this battlefield today?
One step at a time.
Head up. Eyes focused. On Christ. Keep the main thing the main thing today.
The Key to Contentment
Google "most popular Bible verses" and you will see Philippians 4:13 at the top.
"I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
Since you're already on your computer, now go ahead and Google that verse specifically.
You'll undoubtedly find it on a variety of images and pictures, like a guy hanging one-handed from a cliff's edge...
Paul's "How to Be Like Jesus" Passage
WWJD? If you know what that stands for, it means you were in church in the 90s. For those who don't know, I'll catch you up. WWJD?...What Would Jesus Do? This was an extremely popular phrase in Christian circles...
It's Time to Suit Up
Paul lived in a time very much like ours. There was great turmoil, riots, social unrest, and struggles for political power. There was reason to be discouraged. There was reason to be overwhelmed by the evil that seemed to prevail. There was reason to want to give up. But Paul's final words aren't filled with hopelessness...
Be Loved by God, and Live
Paul doesn’t mess around.
No fluff, no cheese, just straight meat and potatoes.
Take Ephesians 4, for example. In one chapter, he gives no less than seventeen commands.
Seventeen!
Amazing Grace!
Imagine you eat poisonous berries on the shore and fall dead into a flowing river. You’re not drowning, you’re dead. You’re a corpse. That’s what it is when Ephesians 2 says we are dead in sin. Dead, by nature and choice.
But you’re more than a corpse.
A More Holy Perspective
Do me a favor. Go through Psalm 145 and highlight every verb involving worship that you can find. I’m talking about those words like exalt and praise, or extol and commend, or tell and speak, or meditate and proclaim, or celebrate and sing.
There are a lot, right?
