12/3/17 – First Week of Advent
As I typed “First Week of Advent,” I wondered if people not familiar with the church seasons would know what it means. Remember the scene in “The Polar Express” when at the north pole Santa shouts out, “the first gift of Christmas!” That gift was a bell. It symbolized the Spirit of Christmas. Advent is…

11/19/17 – Thanksgiving Dinner
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by Christians. They were called Pilgrims because they were journeying to this new land in faith. Many things were difficult and required a great deal of trust. Storms drove them 250 miles off course, but the new landing was much better. They had no food, but an Indian showed up…

11/12/17 – God is Good, Good Wins in the End
Daniel, friend and prophet, set a high standard for us. He was so close to God in prayer that God spoke to him in visions during the night, revealing much about the future on this earth. When we think of prophecy, we must resist trying to pin down its specific meaning or time, but we…

11/5/17 – I Will Trust in the Lord
What is your favorite passage in the Bible? Ask a child and they might say, “Daniel in the Lion’s Den.” It is a story of intrigue and deceit; a battle between good and evil; a story of prayer and witness. Other than that, it is filled with the courage to live near all kinds of…

10/15/17 – God’s Present Authority Displayed
“God rules in heaven.” That’s an easy statement with which to agree, right? What about this: “Jesus will rule the earth one day.” Perhaps not everyone agrees with that one (however, I do!). But what about right now? Does God rule on earth right now? That was the $64,000 question for the Babylonians in 600…

10/8/17 – The Good Authority of God
Daniel is once again called in by Nebuchadnezzar, who has had another dream. Once again the dream was quite threatening. Its message scared Daniel, but he has now gotten quite used to putting God ahead of his fears. The new dream was about who is in charge and who is not. A friend of mine…
