This morning I read the passage in Matthew 14 where Jesus feeds the hungry crowd with such meager resources. He nourishes more than five thousand people with a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish, and they all leave satisfied. Really, it doesn’t matter what the food was or how much of it [...]

Trying to reconcile the sovereignty of God with the suffering of the world is not a light or easy endeavor. It is hard for our minds (and our hearts) to conceive that a God who is loving and good would permit such heartache in the lives of His people. When grappling with this issue, some [...]

These lyrics came as I sat on a deck overlooking Lake Lure and reflected on who God is and on how I desire to know Him more deeply than I do. Near To Me Almighty God – I long for You In this dry and barren place My heart and flesh cry out for You Don’t [...]
