Our Words Create Worlds

by

In the beginning, God spoke, and the world was created. His Word alone created the world we live in to this day. After creating the world, God created man and woman in His image (Genesis 1:27). He created us to resemble Him, to do the things He does. As His image-bearers, we have the power of God in our lives to do the things that He does.

We are creative because God first created. We exist because God exists. If God would somehow cease to exist, all of His creation would disappear as well. In the same way that God spoke and created the world, our words create worlds as well. The words we speak define the world around us.

Peace and Love

by

Amid insanity and chaos, it’s easy to lose our way. While it’s tempting to throw our support behind one side or another, we must remember the only side that matters is for us to be beside Jesus. He doesn’t choose sides in our human battles. He loves everyone the same. Jesus loves no matter the offense. Our call is to do the same and to be a light in the darkness. We need not hear or become another opinion in an already crowded sea of noise. We need the calming peace of Jesus.

Our job is to be peace and love in the middle of the divisiveness that threatens to tear apart both our culture and our civility. No one is blameless. Jesus taught us that. There is no high road. There is only the road to life everlasting and the road to Hell. It is not ours to decide who is on which road because each of us deserves Hell no matter how right or justified we might feel.

Good Friday

by

What’s so “good” about a Good Friday in the middle of a worldwide pandemic? The answer is everything. In a time where hope is in short supply, Good Friday offers the hope of redemption, salvation, and life as God intended it. The people of the first century were no strangers to disease and sickness. It was a constant companion, only they lacked the medical care and facilities we have today. There were no ventilators, only the breath of life provided by the spirit of God.

There were few doctors, but Jesus, the great physician, healed many with a word or a touch. People saw Jesus not only as an eternal Savior but also as one who could deliver them from their day-to-day troubles. Everything He did was good, and everyone He touched was restored. And then they killed Him.

God’s Peace

by

God’s peace is sometimes difficult to find amid the daily media barrage. But it is always there, waiting for you to relax into it. Jesus said, “My peace I give to you” (John 14:27). His peace transcends any fear, anxiety, or difficulty we will ever face. We need not fear any storm. Christ has proven He can calm the waves with a simple word (Mark 4:35-41).

Nothing can overwhelm us so long as He is with us. There is nothing to fear. Satan would have you believe otherwise. He will do everything he can to unsettle you, to make you fearful, and to make you doubt. You can always be certain the devil will use every tool at his disposal to distract you from keeping your eyes on Jesus.

Times Like These

by

In times like these, it’s easy to lose our way. The needle on our internal compass seems a bit jumpy. The culture of a 24/7 news cycle can overwhelm with information and confuse us about what to believe. Stress and anxiety threaten to overcome our best intentions and defenses. Times like these bring out the best, and too often, the worst in humanity.

For followers of Jesus, we can have peace. Our Lord is the Prince of Peace, and His grace and mercy are not in short supply. And yet, we seem to forget these truths when we need them most. Instead of relying on the peace and power of our Creator, we give in to the siren song of the crowd. There is no comfort there. We find comfort only in the arms of Jesus.
