I don’t rest very much. Even on Sabbath, I struggle to slow down and relax. Of course, with little children, slowing down and relaxing take on a whole different meaning. Add to that, the Greek obsession with living by the clock and stuffing our calendars, and life becomes about rushing around, hurrying, stress, and “the…

Spoken
Psalm 119:9 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. This is about living, clean living. Or rather, it’s about cleaning up my life. Most people I know have something in their life that’s a mess. Heaven knows, I’ve made lots and lots of messes in my life! …

Amos 4:24 Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living. What a great image this is! A might flood and an endless river! The endless river especially captured my imagination. A river is strong, enduring, wide, and generally pretty deep. It’s not a stream that is shallow,…
God, Justice & Mercy
Ezekial 18:21-23 But if the wicked people turn away from all their sins and begin to obey my laws and do what is just and right, they will surely live and not die. All their past sins will be forgotten and they will live because of the righteous things they have done. Do you think,…
