Let Truth Move You 02/01/26 Truth is not meant to remain static in our minds. It is meant to move us — to guide our decisions, influence our attitudes, and inspire action. John 8:32 reminds us: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  Freedom comes not just from understanding, but from allowing God’s truth to reshape our hearts and lives. Pat and I have found that when we let Scripture guide daily choices — from interactions with others to personal pr

Did God Really Say? The enemy’s first lie in the Garden of Eden was simple: “Did God really say…?”  (Genesis 3:1). And we’ve been hearing variations of it ever since — doubts, fears, and half-truths that try to shake our confidence in God’s Word. Pat and I have walked with countless people who struggled under lies that sounded believable. And the antidote is always the same: God’s Word. His voice doesn’t confuse; it clarifies. His truth doesn’t mislead; it steadies. When you

When God Reminds You You’re Not Forgotten Life can feel heavy at times — as though we’re invisible, overlooked, or forgotten. But God never forgets His own. Isaiah 49:15–16 says: “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.” Pat and I have seen moments when the world seemed indifferent, yet God’s presence was unmistakable. A word o

Roots Before Fruit We often admire the fruit — the visible success, the evidence of a life well-lived. But the strength of that fruit comes from what lies beneath: the roots. Psalm 1:3 reminds us: “That a person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.” Growth starts with being planted. Roots dig deep into Scripture, prayer, and fellowship. They soak up nourishment from God’s presenc

When One Verse Changes Everything Sometimes, all it takes is a single verse to shift our hearts, redirect our thoughts, or change the course of a day — even a life. Hebrews 4:12 reminds us: “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Pat and I have experienced countless moments where a single Scripture, seen or heard at just

Blog of the week. Truth That Travels Well  Truth is powerful, but not all truth lasts. Cultural trends, personal opinions, and shifting values often fail to stand the test of time. But God’s truth? It travels well. Psalm 119:160 tells us: “The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous rules endures forever.” Pat and I have witnessed decades of change — in society, in ministry, in ourselves. Yet the Word of God remains steadfast, relevant, and life-giving

The Stillness Between the Storms Life has a way of keeping us busy, doesn’t it? There’s always something calling for our attention, pulling us in a hundred directions at once. But every now and then, God invites us to stop. To pause. To breathe. The stillness isn’t empty — it’s where God meets us. Psalm 46:10 reminds us: “Be still, and know that I am God.”  Not “do more,” not “try harder,” just be still . That stillness is sacred space, a quiet place where the noise of the wo

Faith Is a Doorway, Not a Destination Sometimes, we think of faith as a place to arrive at—a certain level we must reach. However, faith is actually a doorway. It’s a daily invitation to step closer to God. Hebrews 11:1 reminds us: “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” The Journey of Faith Faith opens us to God’s possibilities. It moves us from understanding to experience, from belief to action. Pat and I have learned that every

Foundations Don’t Fail Life can be unpredictable. Storms arise, people change, and circumstances shift. But there is one thing that never moves: God’s truth. Matthew 7:24–25 reminds us of a wise builder: “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” Found

Rest Is Not Laziness Rest often gets a bad reputation, doesn’t it? In our busy culture, pausing can feel like falling behind. But Jesus modeled rest. Mark 6:31 records Him saying to His disciples: “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.”  Even in the midst of ministry, He paused. He knew that true strength comes from time spent with God, not endless doing. Rest isn’t laziness. It’s preparation. It’s nourishment. It’s an opportunity to reconnect with the
