Psalm 1 NLT
1 Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
2 But they delight in the law of the Lord,
meditating on it day and night.
3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in [...]
God is Our Comfort, Always

Last Sunday I did a Teaching I called, “Where is the Father when I don’t Feel Him?”. The truth the Bible teaches is that God is always present. Our feelings often lie to us, but God’s truth never changes and is always truth. A good example of God’s omnipresence is Psalm 139:7-12. If a Christ-follower can [...]
Cease Stressing

“Cease striving and know that I am God.” NAS Ps 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God!” NLT
Stress, the number one killer. Stress knocks down our immune system and damages our hearts and other major organs. God says, “Cut it out!”. If we live long enough, people tend to adjust and chill. Are they just [...]
The Problem with Busy-ness
Posted in Bible Study, Christian Living, Faith, Leadership, Psalms, Stress, tagged busy, calm, christianity, God, Jesus, Luke, patience, peace, relationships, relax on October 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
We live in a world of being busy. It seems as if there is something important, or what seems important, going on all the time. Being busy actually keeps us from focusing on the things that are most important, our relationship with God and each other. The sad thing is that, I believe in our [...]
Psalm 90 – School of Life #3
Posted in Bible Study, Christian Living, Faith, Psalms on September 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Psalm 90:7 We wither beneath your anger;
we are overwhelmed by your fury.
8 You spread out our sins before you—
our secret sins—and you see them all.
9 We live our lives beneath your wrath,
ending our years with a groan.
When we are in sin we are seperated from God and it destroys our lives. It has a negative [...]
Psalm 90 – School of Life #2

Psalm 90:3-6 You turn people back to dust, saying,
“Return to dust, you mortals!”
4 For you, a thousand years are as a passing day,
as brief as a few night hours.
5 You sweep people away like dreams that disappear.
They are like grass that springs up in the morning.
6 In the morning it blooms and flourishes,
but by evening [...]

This is the daily devotional from C. H. Spurgeon. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England’s best known preacher in the 19th century and pastored a Mega Church when Mega wasn’t cool. He often preached to more than 10,000 people. This was before the days of electronic sound systems. His church was London’s Metropolitan Tabernacle.
Wait on [...]
Psalm 90 – The School of Life – Pt. 1
Posted in Bible Study, Christian Living, Faith, Psalms, Stress on September 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
One of the greatest struggles we have as humans is change. No one really likes change. Even when change is good it brings anxiety. We get comfortable with who we are and where we are even if it could be better.
Moses writes the 90th Psalm late in his life. He has been through much and [...]
Deafening Busy-ness
Posted in Bible Study, Christian Living, Faith, Family, Psalms on September 4, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday evening just before dusk, Lisa and I took our dog for a walk in the nature center near our house. I like the center because you are surrounded by trees and for most of the walk you can’t even see the neighborhoods that surround the park.
As we made our way down the path and [...]
