In his classic, Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis said, “Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man… It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone.” This week in…
According to an article in the Harvard Business Review, for every compliment a person receives, he/she has had to endure SIX or more criticisms…and we wonder why the workplace can be so miserable. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall!” How often…
This past Sunday millions gathered together to watch the epic finale of the 2015-2016 football season, Super Bowl 50 (“50” because our society struggles with Roman Numerals and “50” in Roman Numerals is simply “L”… and that’s boring). On Monday, hundreds of thousands of those fans took to social media to debate the best commercials,…
Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions? Like your life is meaningless? Going to church is just what you’re supposed to do? Reading your Bible has become a ritual?

After a long, intense journey there’s nothing more exhilarating than arriving at your destination. After 14 weeks, we’ve now come to the end of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians in our #BetterTogether series.

Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” What does it look like when Christians view their work as worship? Some see work as a part of the curse placed on Adam and Eve… however, God commanded Adam and Eve to dress and keep the garden…
In Letters To Malcolm, CS Lewis said, “Joy is the serious business of Heaven.” We sing about joy during the Christmas season. We talk about the joy of the season and surround ourselves with those we love. We even send Christmas cards with messages of hope and joy, yet for so many this is a…
Imagine 400 years of darkness; 400 years of silence; 400 years without hope. The Romans, under the rule of Octavius, have now issued a census in order to adequately tax and conscript the Jewish people living in the new Roman empire. Hope seems to be gone… until Jesus! Light breaks through the darkness, angels proclaim…
“Go to your room and wait for me” was not something I wanted to hear growing up. It usually meant something bad was about to happen. It wasn’t so much the “go to your room” part that I feared, it was the “wait for me” part. I’ve spent many moments, in great anticipation,… waiting. Sometimes…
