    In Mark 7 Jesus traveled to the Gentile region of Tyre. While there he tried to keep a low profile, but the news about him spread and a woman boldly sought him out in the home where he was staying. We don't know much about this woman. Did she have a husband or was she a widow? Did she come alone because no one else she knew believed in Jesus or wa...

  • Seeking First God's Kingdom: A Faith That Declutters

    It's never all that comfortable to live by faith, putting service of God's Kingdom ahead of accumulating wealth. I'm not sure how well we're doing at it, but we're giving it a go. I've been asking the Lord lately about what it means to seek first the Kingdom of God. One phrase that helps me get my little brain around such a huge idea is: "Everythi...

    Perhaps there's no other area in life where it's harder to keep the faith than controlling what comes out of our mouths. Why? In part, because we're prone to speak, then think.

As Jesus affirmed God's power to do everything, he still yielded him...

    The fields in my southern Vermont valley are still damp from the March snow melt. Streams running down the sides of mountains remain swollen, and the Battenkill River licks over its banks as it rushes toward New York state. As the ground thaws over the coming month it will soon become possible to turn the earth. With a few consecutive days of suns...

  • Losing Everything

    Have you ever lost someone near or dear to you? I lost someone when I was eleven. My dad and mom and brother and two sisters and I were near Snoqualmie Pass, about fifty miles east of Seattle. Waiting in line near the top of mountain slope was a girl about my age with a new red circular saucer. Compared to my black smelly inner tube, it was high ...
