“RUNNING THE RACE”
It’s about investing time with my grand children; “showing” them how to live for the glory of God” — It’s not just talking about it.

Why Does Scripture Include Christ’s Detailed Genealogies?
The genealogies of Jesus recorded by Matthew and Luke prove that He was not a self-appointed Messiah; a misguided reformer caught up in popular acclaim who began to have delusions of grandeur. Nor was He merely a good teacher of morality and ethics, or a revolutionary out to overthrow Rome’s rule. His genealogies, tracing His ancestry back through David and Abraham to Adam and ultimately to God Himself, show that Jesus was Israel’s rightful king.
Mighty Men of God
Who is your historical hero of the faith? Did he live and breathe the Gospel for all people, and particularly the poor? Are you? Scottish writer, Alan Kearns reveals a distinct contrast between the mighty men of God in history, and the modern man of God. He unwraps what is needed to bring out the real men of God!
GO!
I find it fascinating that Jesus’ “great commission” to His followers started with the word “Go.” He had told them in the Garden the night before His crucifixion not to worry when they were drug before rulers and princes. They would be given what they need to say and the power to say it in the moment they needed it. The first step was to “go.”
Easy Street
Christians are not immune to adopting the Easy Street philosophy. The vast majority of us desire (and subconsciously expect?) to live problem-free lives. I mean if we walk with God, He should certainly keep His dear children from ever skinning a knee or any difficulties, right?
My grandkids inspire me – from Bahrain to Miami!
I want our relationship to the wide world to be right now. Help; respect; belief; a steadying hand; investment in others; hope; promise; courage evidenced in one because of encouragement from the other; self-giving generosity; love in action . . .
Transformational Trials
No matter what we are going through, it doesn’t have to be discouraging. Trials no longer need to send us to the dungeon of despair, or the swamp of sadness. Trials no longer need to send us spiraling into hopelessness . . . There is hope . . .
HAPPY “YOUR MOTHER!”‘s DAY
Children are a blessing from God! We are thankful for their love and especially their humor. Derek shares one humorous moment when, discussing Mother’s Day, his grandson brought a smile and a laugh to everyone’s face.
When God Works Through The Beauty of A Mother (and Grandmother’s) Love
“Spending the day in worship together, celebrating faith around the communion table, and then doing those all-important photo-shoots, Mother’s Day is always one of those exceptionally beautiful days. But then again it always is a Great Day when we not only celebrate our family, but when we do it in the context of community and living faith.”
God’s Peace When We Need It Most
The power of story and the impact of a photograph both require truth, and there is little truth left when we limit the story to sunshine and rainbows, platitudes, air-brushed skin tones or flattering angles.
