The song, “Go Tell it on the Mountain” is a favorite hymn of mine. I don’t particularly like the music or the sing ability of it, as much as I appreciate its simplicity. It doesn’t make a heavy or complicated doctrinal claim; it doesn’t proclaim a difficult truth. It simply sings the song, which is the story-telling of the birth of a Savior. It doesn’t proclaim Jesus as the answer. It simply names Him as the Messiah. It simply points to the beginning of a blessed opportunity. “Go Tell it on the Mountain, that Jesus Christ... Full story
We have all experienced other people’s words spoken to us that have affected us either for the good or for the bad. And we have spoken words to others that have resulted in blessing them or hurting them. But do we fully realize how our words affect us when we speak them? What we say affects the one who is speaking as well as others who hear those words. Death and life is in the power of the tongue. How do we change what we speak? It has been said that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, in other words, what we...

In Ephesians 2, Paul explained how God gave the Church new life: “And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins […] even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace have ye been saved.” Paul gives a glimpse of life for believers before they knew Christ in Ephesians 2:1 – we were “dead through our trespasses and sins.” Obviously, we were not physically dead. This death left us powerless, unable to change our circumstances, unresponsive and void of lif... Full story

Jesus loves the little children; every one is precious to The One. The disciples over time became increasingly protective of Jesus as the crowds grew and people became more aggressive to get close to Him. I suppose it’s no surprise that when the children were brought to Jesus for a blessing, (Matthew 19:13-15) that the disciples attempted to keep them back. Jesus invited them nonetheless. Jesus never held them back… from anything. God wants to account for every child under heaven. God wants our commitment to help bring the...
There was once a market where everyone would go to sell their wares. One particular old farmer had brought a flock of quails to sell, and kept them from flying by tying a string to each of their legs, and connected the string to a ring that was staked in the ground. These birds would walk around the stake in a monotonous manner, circling the stake for hours. A particular merchant, who had a love for animals, saw the poor birds and asked to buy the entire flock of quail. After the merchant bought the quail, he asked the... Full story

In Ephesians 5, Paul stated that our behavior should match what Christians believe because we have been delivered. If we have belief, but our behavior does not match it, we will cause harm and confusion to those who are trying to embrace the kingdom of God. Our old nature has been conquered through the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and we are now freed from the bondage of sin. Because of this, we should now be “imitators of God” now that we have been set free (Eph. 5:1-2). The Greek word for imitator lit...

The wind flowed through my hair as I stood at the front of the boat, arms stretched out, marveling at the natural beauty of the Three Gorges as we approached it. A herd of middle-aged Chinese men anxiously pushed their way through the crowd behind me; with cameras clutched in hand, each was eager to have a photo in front of China’s most famous picturesque landmark. Each of them posed in a similar fashion: serious-faced, proud posture, upright, arms pinned to their sides, l... Full story

“In the very midst of our busy preparations for the celebration of Christ’s birth in ancient Bethlehem, Christ is reborn in the Bethlehems of our homes and daily lives. Take time, slow down, be still, and be awake to the Divine Mystery that looks so common and so ordinary, yet is wondrously present.’ -Edward Hays It seems that secular expectations of decorating, gift-giving, entertaining, and attendance has attempted to rob this 2009 season of Christmas of the sense of Peace and Shalom it intends. Shifting cultural expec...
“Worry is like a rocking chair: It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you anywhere.” – Erma Bombeck It is almost as if our lives are not complicated enough…we want to worry about things that have not yet happened and even are rather unlikely to ever happen. Nevertheless, we bother ourselves with a whole string of what-ifs to busy our minds with what some call “being ready for the worst.” Of course we would all rather respond than react to emergent situations, but what if we trusted God to provide the appropriate r...
