The joy in coming into agreement with God's Word and will
Easter week. Holy Week. My favorite holiday and my favorite celebration. In the same way we observe advent, I think the time before Easter deserves our attention and willingness to quiet ourselves to hear with clear minds the story that changed everything. Our lives are not very conducive to this message, however, and the gospel... Continue Reading →
March is a funny month, in like a lion, out like a lamb and all that... we here in Colorado enjoy warm days and blizzards all in one weekend at times. I'm a seasonal girl, I love the flow of one season to the next, and I get as excited for fall as I do... Continue Reading →
"The world screams "You are enough" and we are desperate to believe it. But being enough is different from being worthy and valuable. We are beautiful people flawed to the core, but deeply worthy of love and of priceless value to our Creator God... every one. Jesus has no favorites. So to say "without You... Continue Reading →
"Christians should be creating safe spaces, not ridiculing them." The headline grabbed my attention. It was an article on Patheos that was tagged 'progressive Christian', which, admittedly is not the way I lean, but this is a topic that kind of ruffles my feathers. When I think about it, it's because I see so much more below the... Continue Reading →
"If I could just... -Figure out (A,B,C) -Follow through on (all the goals) -Get (so and so) to (do such and such) -Perform (certain action) and receive (certain result) Does this sound familiar? I'm realizing the deeper I go and the more I grow with Jesus just how deeply ingrained these law-abiding beliefs are in... Continue Reading →
"It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to." WC Fields Conservative. Liberal. Classical liberal. Evangelical. I was reading a comment thread where people were arguing the virtues and vices of all these labels we take on or give out. On and on it went, everyone arguing in circles about "what does it...

A little reminder that God can do crazy things when we stop being Negative Nancy's... I just love this little excerpt from AW Tozer on how the Lord doesn't necessarily need us, but oh how He wants us to join up with Him in miraculous works! Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great... Continue Reading →
"That terrible zone of confusion so evident in the whole life of the Christian community could be cleared up in one day if the followers of Christ would begin to follow Christ instead of each other. For our Lord was very plain in His teaching about the believer and the world." AW Tozer I came across... Continue Reading →
"People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline... Continue Reading →
A quick note on the heart of this post; we all have our proverbial "hills" we are willing to die on. This new-wave feminism that holds such deep contempt for the sanctity of life is mine. I don't write this to chastise or condemn. I write it because underneath all the fancy arguments and hashtags,... Continue Reading →
