The Scriptures describe a moment in Egypt when the natural order of the world seemed to collapse.
God spoke to Moses and said, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that the...

The Plague of Locusts — Negotiating with God
There is a meaningful difference between wanting consequences removed and wanting the heart transformed. And that difference exposes something uncomfortable.
Why do we often pray with urgency during crisis, yet resist surrender when obedience is required?
The human heart does not move cleanly f...

The God Who Controls the Storms
If you knew with certainty that a major storm would arrive tomorrow at exactly this time, you would not treat it casually. You would not scroll past the forecast. You would not shrug and assume it might miss you. You would prepare because certainty changes behavior.
We recently experienced how un...

The Limits of Human Medicine
Exodus 9:8-12
There are moments in Scripture when judgment is revelatory, not merely destructive. The plague of boils in Exodus 9 is one of those moments. It is not only a display of divine power. It is an exposure of misplaced confidence.
Egypt was not an unsophisticated culture. It possessed ad...

Who Owns What You Own?
Introduction
Last Sunday, more than one hundred million people watched the Super Bowl. They knew who was winning based on a scoreboard.. Every touchdown, every extra point, and every field goal was added and accounted for. The scoreboard provided clarity.
But life does not come with a stadium scr...

The Illusion of Control
Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong at once? The phone would not stop ringing, messages kept piling up, and demands came from every direction. There was no space to breathe and no moment of quiet. Pressure mounted as responsibilities stacked higher, until life itself felt o...

The Finger of God
There are moments in life we hope no one ever finds out about. Words we said in anger. Decisions we made in weakness. Secret sins we buried, hoping they’d stay hidden. Now imagine your worst moment . . . the one you hope no one ever sees . . . being made public.
Sometimes people imagine their wo...

Beyond the Water Slide
If I told you a life-changing encounter with God could start in the most ordinary pool of water—would you believe me?
Baptism appears to be such a simple act. A person immersed in water and raised up. It doesn’t look unique, or special, or exciting, or mystical, or spiritual. It reminds me of a t...

Learning to See Again
History is filled with moments when a single truth forced a complete change of mind and direction. Ignaz Semmelweis did not discover bacteria or publish a polished theory. He noticed that death followed doctors’ hands from the autopsy room into the maternity ward, but when those hands were washed...

The Words That Shape Eternity
Some words drift through the air and fade as quickly as they are spoken. Others anchor the soul and define the direction of a life. When a believer says, “I believe Jesus is the Son of God,” nothing flashy happens on the surface. There is no applause or ceremony. There isn't an outward signal tha...

The Divine Architect
Sorry. I just noticed this did not go out earlier today.
When the Holy Spirit enters your life, He doesn’t quietly slip in and settle for the status quo.
He comes as a builder with blueprints in hand.
He examines every motive, every thought, and every hidden space. He doesn't renovate what’s alr...

Turn Your Radio On
As a teenager in the early 80s, I attended the Tulsa Soul-Winning Workshop. Members of the Exchange Street Church of Christ in Union City, TN, would load up in cars and vans and make the trek to Tulsa, OK. I always enjoyed that trip. I heard some great speakers.
One thing I enjoyed was the singin...
