The face of God? Some say that level of intimacy with God is impossible, deadly even. Yet scripture from beginning to end threads a much different account. Getting in the face of God is the only way to a whole, fulfilled life. So, what are you waiting for? Get in His face!

The most wonderful time of the year? Well...for many folks...not exactly. Although the holidays can stir up many emotions, memories, or anxieties, there seems to be a subtle but powerful prescription peppered throughout the 66 books that comprise the Bible. Go ahead, give it a listen, give this thread of thanksgiving a tug and take [...]

There's often a story behind a story. Scripture is filled with plenty of examples. A woman is remembered for touching Jesus' cloak and gaining miraculous healing. Was it just dumb luck?

Fresh thoughts concerning the second coming of Jesus, the resurrection of the body, and our hope.
