This morning I was turning my attention to the Lord, declaring my trust in His goodness, thinking about believing God and not just believing in God. Faith is being sure of what you hope for — certain of what you don’t see yet. There are things I don’t see yet, but I see God. There [...]

It’s All Gonna Fold

February 26, 2012 The Good Word

Anachronism explanation: I wrote this post last week. :] It struck me on a Friday. Reading words from the first chapter of Hebrews: You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old [...]

The Backstory: How He Loves

February 22, 2012 Stories

Back in the summer of 2008, just a few months before the Bear was born, I can remember passionately singing the words to the worship song How He Loves in a cinema-turned church service in the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Gosh, is it just me or does it seem like the Tank was only eight months last week? And do you remember when he looked so tiny snuggled inside this pillow he’s now towering over? It’s hard to believe eleven months have swooped by, but I suppose it’s kind of been a busy year.    [...]

There’s a really cool story in 2 Kings 6 that I was thinking about this morning. There was this prophet called Elisha with skills that surpassed Jason Bourne and James Bond combined when it came to espionage. A couple thousand years before phones could be tapped or bugs could be planted, Elisha could listen in [...]

I‘ve been speaking about a simple principle as I’ve witnessed it in South Africa over these past two years {the principle that without discipline nature will take over again} and I would now like to take a moment to speak about hope, and how all this can apply to our spiritual lives. {You can read [...]
