I’ll never forget the feeling of cradling our baby girl in my arms just after she was born. She was so tiny, so new. I remember thinking how she had her whole life ahead of her. And though she was only minutes old, my mind was spinning with all the good things I wanted for her, not just in the days and…
Would you call yourself a wise person? Would you define your life as one wisely lived? You might think that’s kind of a subjective question. Some of you consider your life and think “Yeah, I think I am pretty wise from my experiences, from years of school and work.” But maybe you’re thinking of foolish decisions you’ve made, things you’ve done, or…
You’ve all heard of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, right? It’s a common way we explain that enormous gap that exists between winning and losing.

Open our hearts and enlighten our minds that we might understand your Word, believe your Word, and live our lives according to it. Amen. (Based on a prayer by Johannes Bugenhagen –…
Have you ever had someone tell you something to the effect of “You know, I think there are many paths to God; we all believe in the same God; we just call him by different names. I don’t know how you can say one religion is better than another.” I remember a time early in my ministry when I did a lot…
In 2014, Americans paid for 15.1 million cosmetic surgery procedures. Magazines promise their readers the secret to “flawless skin” or “6-pack abs.” A month ago, social media caught fire when former Olympian Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner, the woman he feels he is, rather than the man he actually is. There’s an obsession in our society, and in our own hearts; an…
