It is our choice

With God there is never just darkness (cf John 1:5). He owns the darkness. It is at His command; therefore, it is at our command.

How?

Adopting the joy that hangs just in front of our faces is consenting to the presence of God in our lives!

Hopeful realism

Hopeful realism is well aware that crucifixions occur, but this awareness is also informed by resurrection.

Cruel or beautiful?

In what ways are you teaching yourself to turn from the negative to the positive, from the cruel to the beautiful?

No time for tombs

Watch Him lead the way out of the tomb within where you keep all the doubts, the nagging (but useless) questions, and the fear. We have no time for tombs.

Within!

If you’re getting mauled by evil, burnt by fire, then what in heaven does the bible mean when it has the audacity to teach “no evil shall befall you?!”

On miracles

Here’s the thing though: if we teach just this interpretation of “miracle,” then where is God now?

No need to be “right”

We don’t come to the Bible flippantly. We don’t come to it to condemn our neighbor or put ourselves in the right. And, we don’t come to it without our own baggage — our scars, predispositions, history, and prejudices.
