I just finished reading Living Fearless by Jamie Winship. Winship has spent his life working as a militant peacemaker, a law enforcement officer called to help the most hardened criminals see Christ. He believes his God-given identity of militant peacemaker has allowed him to live his life fearlessly. Over the course of his life and career, […]

But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority. Acts 5;29 I think we all know we need to obey God. We might even acknowledge that obeying God takes precedence over obeying men, even though that can get a little dicey at times. But have we ever really thought […]
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3 Miracles. Miracles of restoration. Miracles of purpose.

“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 A new year is upon us. Let’s be honest: I […]
Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance. “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see […]
