We’ve all heard it said, “How could it be sin if it’s not hurting anybody?” or “How could it be wrong, if no one gets hurt?” The internet is full of these questions, perhaps you’ve entertained the idea yourself. After all, how...

It seems that everywhere I turn lately I see a verse with a similar message telling me, “the Lord goes before you,” and “He will make a way.” With that I’m reminded of the many times that things have worked in my favor. The days when...

Michael and I are a bit late to the game, but in any case we started watching The Chosen. Have you seen it yet? If not, I encourage you to check it out. We really enjoy our date nights with an hour or two of the show. The last episode we watched was the one based on...

“Why don’t you spend time with me?” I asked Michael the other day. “I feel like you’re always too busy to just sit and spend time together.” “I do,” he said, “but I feel like whenever I stop to take a break with...

Have you ever stumbled across a beautiful quote that you just want to chew on? A quote that makes you think deeper… A quote you want to type out and stick on your fridge for those hard to swallow, bad days? I have. It was written by a man who passed away a few...

One night a while back, I noticed a little water on the kitchen floor by the sink, which is par for the course considering that most days Nathaniel spills far more than he drinks. I grabbed a tea towel and wiped up the spot. No problem. But when I went into the...

As I’m sitting here wondering what I might write about today, I happened upon a video by Matthew McConaughey. Yeah, I know–who would have thought I’d be talking about that Matthew in one of my daily devotions. But, the fact is that he’s piqued...

As I’m reading Ezra chapter 7 today, I gain a better understanding of this man. You see, Ezra was a teacher. The Bible tells us that he was well versed in the Law, and as we see in Nehemiah chapter 8, he helps the Israelites gain a better understanding of...

I went back to the book of Ezra tonight. If you remember, a few weeks back we talked about Ezra chapter 4 where we saw the Israelites rebuilding the temple of God, and the enemy trying to stop them. We saw how accusations were brought before the king and how...

Reading through Deuteronomy, I get to the part where Moses is nearing the end of his mission. He’ll soon be stepping down and handing the lead over to Joshua. Before he does, however he makes one final plea for obedience in Chapter 4, verse 2, “Keep the...

If you would have told me 25 years ago that I’d be a writer one day, I would have denied that profusely. I failed grade 12 English, I could barely make my way through a book (unless it had pictures), and my grammar was horrific. I might have had a similar...
