I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid (Jesus in John 14:27, NLT). An author that I like to read has the last name of “Amen.” He writes books on happiness and […]

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain (v. 1, ESV). I had the unique experience of building the same house twice. My wife and I built a house that burned down 12 years later. We rebuilt the same house. After building this house the first time, being a perfectionist,

“My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed. Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me” (John 20:28-29). If someone asks me why I believe, I answer: I feel the presence of Jesus in my heart. Amazing that during the most difficult experiences of my life,

Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in you (Psalm 16:1). This morning I ate a Power Bar©. The advertising on the package said, “Irresistible flavors, nourishing energy, and uncompromising ingredients. An invitation to make your breakthroughs happen.” What a claim.
