Thin Places - We all wish we could stop time, to cherish a moment forever. In learning to be still, we are learning kairos time – purposeful, God-appointed time. In touch with God’s purpose, we can boldly “seize the day” and pray audacious prayers like Joshua’s.

Thin Places - One of the great mysteries of faith is unanswered prayer. If prayer is a conversation with God or a way of communicating with God, why is God so silent? Didn’t Jesus say, “ask and it will be given to you.” So where is God? The disciples of John also had this question.

Habits of the Heart - “God owes me.” That’s the message of a heart filled with jealousy. “All that we lack: let’s face it, God could have fixed all of that for us.” Until we address our jealous heart, we cannot follow the most basic Christian tenet – love one another. It is time to develop a new habit. This habit will change everything!

Habits of the Heart - “I owe me.” That’s the message of a heart filled with greed. To believe you deserve everything that could possibly come your way. To never be at peace. This is one malady that can be next to impossible to self-diagnose.  It is conquered with generosity.
