In a classic biblical story one of the "Hothead" brothers became exhibit "A" of the upside down kingdom. And the way it happened is the way it still does.

Humility’s Best Friend
Have you ever failed at something really important to you? Ever heard of failing successfully? Learn this lesson and you've gained the key to possessing an inner quiet of soul that no person, task, risk or disappointment can shake.

Two Halves to One Truth
There's a character trait of sanctification that we're never invited in Scripture to pray for directly, but to work out on our own. At the intersection of two powerful biblical stories, discover the formula for achieving this essential trait, and prayer language appropriate to the occasion.

A Tale of Two Sauls
The two morally crisscrossing tales make the vital point. And it's driven home by the secret chapter of the second tale that reveals a hard pathway that we want very much not to travel but which leads to an outcome that we very much want.

No God Humbler
Ever thought of the Almighty God as the most humble being in the universe? If it's true, maybe that's why humility in His children is such a big deal to Him. Consider a one-line formula guaranteed to expel personal pride and self worship.

Pioneer Operating Budget

“Ding!” My phone went off again in my pocket. It was just one of those busy days I was having as a college professor, but with deadlines looming, and students waiting to be taught, I did not really want to deal with my phone notifications at the moment.

Can you relate to that feeling? I have found that technology can often be a wonderful blessing, as it allows me to connect meaningfully with my family members who live all over the world. At the same time, it can sometimes disconnect me from the life that is happening right before my eyes.

One thing I decided to do years ago was to take a weekly Sabbath, on the Sabbath, from my devices, as often as I can. That way, when I gather in worship with my family, my fellow believers, and my students, I can be fully in tune with what is going on.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching” (Hebrews 10:24-25, NIV). Today’s offering is for the local church budget. This will help provide the resources necessary to allow us to continue to meet together and worship as one!
