The prophet Isaiah made an astounding prophecy. He states, “A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him…” From the family line of David, a young shoot, a child, will come up from a stump—the remnant of a dynasty lost …

A life in Christ is never status quo
An aspect of the Christian life is that one can never be status quo. Our faith is either growing or it is dying. Like a vegetable garden in a dry climate, a person must daily provide water or the garden will quickly wilt and eventually die in the hot sun. Our faith life is the same way. We must …

When you feel like you are being benched by God
There must have been times when the Apostle Paul asked, “So, Lord, remind me again. Why am I here in prison? Why am I not out in the world sharing the message of Christ with others?” He must have felt that he was benched by the Coach – his gifts and talents forgotten. It would have been easy to …

How Apostle Paul’s letter to Philippi still resonates today

The hidden strength of a Christian
We have a tendency to think of the Christian life as being enduring, suffering or exerting great effort. Even though this can be a part of a believer’s life in a sinful world, the Apostle Paul gives us insight on a hidden strength of one who has trusted in the promises of Christ. Paul fully recognizes …

Encouragement from a weathered man
We live in the age of instant messages. Little bites of information and glib remarks are texted to friends and family. Thirty seconds is the par to capture the attention of consumers.
