Have you ever had so many thoughts bumping around inside your head that you feel like you can’t focus on any of them? It happens to me all the time. You see, I wear many hats. I’m a pastor, a musician, a marketing consultant, social media manager, husband, father, friend, etc. I’m also a thinker [ READ MORE ]

Paramedic vs. Police

But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke [ READ MORE ]

Isaiah 38; Isaiah 39; Isaiah 40; Galatians 2:11-21; Galatians 3:1-9; Psalm 107:33-43 NIV The story of Hezekiah found in Isaiah 38 and 39 makes me chuckle.  This guy actually reminds me of a certain former president of ours with his self-confidence and his glass-half-full outlook on life.  First, in chapter 38, he is told that [ READ MORE ]

Isaiah 33; Isaiah 34; Isaiah 35; Galatians 1; Psalm 107:10-22 NIV You conceive chaff,  you give birth to straw;  your breath is a fire that consumes you.     - Isaiah 33:11 For those of us who have tried and failed to achieve things of significance on our own, we are acutely aware that we “give [ READ MORE ]

2 Chronicles 29; 2 Chronicles 30; 2 Chronicles 31:1; 2 Corinthians 1:12-22; Psalm 103:13-22 Although most of the many people who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written.

2 Chronicles 10; 2 Chronicles 11; 2 Chronicles 12; 1 Corinthians 14:1-19; Proverbs 20:15-24 NIV The story of Rehoboam highlights just how complicated our relationship with God can be.  Throughout the story, the writer makes it clear when Rehoboam was following God and when he wasn’t.  The writer also makes it clear when there were [ READ MORE ]

Song 5; Song 6; Song 7; Song 8; 1 Corinthians 12:27-31; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Psalm 100:1-5 We talk a lot about love, both inside and outside the church.  We’ve redefined love many times over and usually in inaccurate ways.  However, I think Song of Solomon and 1 Corinthians give us an excellent picture of love [ READ MORE ]

Song 1; Song 2; Song 3; Song 4; 1 Corinthians 12:1-26; Psalm 99:1-9 I had to laugh as I read through today’s soul feed passages.  Song of Solomon and 1 Corinthians both do a fair amount of discussion about body parts.  Though the Songs may be an uncomfortable read for some, I think it’s significant [ READ MORE ]

Ecclesiastes 1; Ecclesiastes 2; Ecclesiastes 3:1-22; 1 Corinthians 7:1-16; Psalm 94:12-23 We’ve all had those days.  You know, the days when we feel like a failure – when anything we may have accomplished in life seems miniscule and we wonder what it was all for.  I mean, maybe I shouldn’t speak for “all”, but I’ve [ READ MORE ]
