  • This Rain

    Rain, no matter how violent it may be, sustains life.   Simply listening to its sound against the windows of my dwelling place creates a peace from strife. And when I think about those windows, I remember that what I do, think and believe now is leading to a future that I cannot yet see.…

  • Is Criticism a God Given Right?

    Because of a conversation I had recently with someone who felt it necessary to criticize my thoughts regarding a certain subject, I thought I would challenge not only Christians, but also non-Christians, concerning the act of criticism in western culture today. Do we have a right to criticize others and to what degree? What does…

  • Where science encroaches, God is driven away.

                We hear this statement on a daily basis, though perhaps not in so many words. My question, though, is not whether or not science and Christianity contradict one another. My question is whether or not this scientific stance against religion is a relatively new stance for people to take. For…

The statement is used to defend our acceptance of this world’s culture. It argues that the best…

These transitional periods offer not only a surreal outlook but also many challenges. Sometimes we must look for word, and the process seems to never end. Sometimes we are forced…

  • Flood

    This week at camp, we talked each evening about part of what it means to trust God. We talked about having courage and we talked about God’s healing power. We likened the relationship with God we sometimes settle with to a bird bath when God desires an ocean for us. Tonight, as we have come…

  • Flooded with Passion

    Over the past couple of nights we have talked what it means to trust God. We have discovered that it doesn’t necessarily take a consistent, strong faith on our part because God is always faithful and never changes in character. We have discovered that God has power and authority to heal every ailment, whether physical,…
