read moreGod and good always win over evil. No matter how destructive and despicable, the course of humanity is a testament to the goodness and grace of God. When I saw the image of the 78 year old man falling I was heartbroken. But this morning I learned he got up and finished the race. Just like we are exhorted to do in Hebrews 12:1-3, Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2...
read moreA Champion for Christ One of the great joys of my life is seeing Christ at work in our inspiring young adult group we call the Titans. They are among the most inspiring and dedicated disciples of Jesus Christ I know. As a group of special needs young adults they have brought passion and vision to our church and community in so many ways. They have an awesome and welcoming recreational ministry and are even envisioning building their first group home. May God be praised. I mention this because I see...
read moreThe greatest piece of news in history came almost 2000 years ago this week. The angel at the tomb told the women, He is not here; He is risen! (Matthew 28:6; Mk 16:6, Luke 24:6). Jesus came to bring life to all who believed in Him. His resurrection is a promise and a provision. We rejoice and celebrate that the message of His resurrection was inseparable from ours. The Apostle Paul affirmed that Jesus’ victory over death is our victory, too, in 1 Corinthians 15:23; Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to...

read moreGlory to God in the highest! The last four days in Costa Rica have been far more inspiring than I could have ever imagined. As we have worshipped and prayed God has given me pause to think and reflect and thank God for the hundreds of people who have travelled from Mount Pisgah to share missionally the love of Christ with the Costa Ricans in both word and deed. Yesterday when I saw Pastor Carlos from Liberia, Pastor Henry who is now teaching in the seminary, and Karolay from Los Guidos I marvelled at how God is using them so greatly here. This...
read moreThough it seems like so long ago the tragedy in Sandy Hook, CT is just a month removed. Events such as this beg many questions and leave us shocked, staggered, and hungry for some different kind of news. ”Where is the good news?”, asked a young woman in our community whose tear stained face spoke volumes in terms of her pain and grief over the tragic loss of so many precious lives. The good news is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, sounds esoterically theological and feels devoid to some who simply wonder how can God allow such, but...
read moreJust wanted to share the following written by a friend who is the CEO of a growing and successful company. He shared this devotion with his employees: I wanted to send out a message this morning about what a blessing it is for each one of us to have been born in this great country. First of all, I am glad to have this election behind us so that we can refocus our time and energy as a people and as a country on important issues like our struggling economy at home and the struggling economies around the world. And, the horrendous human...
read moreIt’s not a typo. The letter C is intentionally left out of the beginning of the last word with the hope of triggering an awakening of self awareness of both God’s purpose and intent for us as disciples of Jesus Christ. The verse in and of itself is revealing in terms of God’s intent in Christ, but is also interesting in terms of its place and timing at the end of the first gospel. Matt 28:18-20 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,...
read moreIt is an interesting dilemma and one wrought with the whole spectrum of human emotion. Much like a championship football game we have awakened today with polarized emotions. The scoreboard reads that the blue team won and the red team lost in a tight, back and forth battle. Both teams played hard and the margin of difference was minute. Except this isn’t a football game, this is our country. So did your team win? In the course of just a few hours I have been approached by the devastated and by the elated, they live...
