The Messiness of Miracles
Sometimes the toughest miracles produce the most beautiful results.
What we can know for sure is that miracles never happen outside of the context of mystery and mess.
Think about it . . . think about the miracle of the life of Mary.
We have ...

Tough Miracles
When we say “Christmas” lots of things come to mind.
Time with friends and family.
Good food, cookies, and parties/festivities
Stores and sales.
Christmas music piped into stores and on the radio.

The Shadow Side
But the Bible says “to hate” . . . What do we “hate?”
The ideas behind “love the sinner, hate the sin” are actually scriptural, just a little misconstrued.
In yesterday’s devotion we explored where Jesus called out the religious leaders for ...

Loving and Hating
“Love the sinner, hate the sin” is one of the Christian clichés that we think are found in Scripture but actually, the statement as a whole, is not. There are “like” thoughts/statements in Scripture that we will explore this week that lend us ...

Waves of Grief and Why
“And the waves of pain did wash over me with a rhythmic quality.
