What is the Purpose of the Law? Part 1
There are several different types of laws used to govern people: civil laws, Ecclesiastical law, natural laws, and even some unwritten cultural laws. Each one has a jurisdiction that it applies to. They also have a consequence. Did you break any laws this morning? How does it make you feel when you knowingly break the […]
HOPE Products: Growing Families God’s Way
It almost goes without saying, but our world is very broken. The earthquakes, the wars, the chaos, the soul lost-ness of humanity. For many, there is no starting point for either truth or trust. Without that foundation, one is left with no option but to elevate one’s self into the sole judge of truth as […]

HOPE Products: A Faithful Minister
One characteristic of the times we live in is the lack of faithfulness. In marriage, in the home, in the workplace, in the church, and in society at large, people are unwilling to commit themselves to anything wholeheartedly. They are unwilling to keep promises they’ve made, especially if those promises require a greater personal cost […]

Lessons From Running – Pt. 2
You may remember this post. Here’s its sequel. The next lesson I learned from running is pace. Life is like this. If you place everything in the urgent category and “run around like crazy,” you will soon be worn out. When you pace yourself, you save energy and strength for later. If you realize you […]
Lessons Learned From Running
Creating devotionals from lessons learned through hobbies feels less spiritual than lessons learned from pain, or an inspiring portion of the Bible. In the case of running, I feel vindicated since the Bible speaks more about running than it does about hunting. Here are a few examples: Do you not know that those who run […]
