Angels
I am the Lord’s servant, Mary answered. May your word to me be fulfilled.
A Time For Acceptance
Sometimes we have to take a step back from what we think we know about each other and allow curiosity and openness to reveal what’s new.
Straight Ahead
“What does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8) I was reminded of a funny experience I had years ago on a golf course in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I was a beginner golfer. In the classic art of college instruction, we had worked…
Amazement Continued
“And they were amazed at His teaching” (Luke 4:32) Amazement often describes how people reacted to Jesus in the Bible, but it rarely describes the modern Christian today. Why are we often not in awe of Jesus in our life today? Sometimes I’ve wondered if our experience within the church walls have dulled our sense…
Upon Hearing An Elk Bugle
“So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord.” (Hosea 6:3) I heard an elk bugling in the Aspens. It was such an otherworldly sound that I thought, how can this be real? I’m not a dramatic person, and I say this in all seriousness: my life was changed. How can I say I’ve…

*These notes come from a talk I gave at Women of the Word in Los Gatos, CA. This group studies scripture at a pace of around 8 chapters each week. What is the purpose of all Bible study? Beyond gathering data and increasing knowledge, our purpose is to know Christ and be transformed by Him.…
Quiet Waters
The beautiful thing about hiding God’s word in your heart and mind is that it seeps into the little mundane moments of a day and transforms it. Here’s a scripture you probably already know: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside…
