The keen eye of the artist takes in the scene before him and his hand sketches its outlines onto the canvas.

Riding high on the spiritual fence is a dangerous exercise. There’s a false sense of security up there when a fatal tumble is a more likely outcome.

At work and school, do you sometimes stand cold and alone in a storm of conflicting beliefs and values? A place where none have gone with you and still you follow?

The sanctuary is well appointed, the hymnals are plentiful and the instruments are finely tuned, but there is something unfinished…something vital…the light has never come on.

Combine the finest French perfumes and then add a dash of vinegar to the mix. Would you wear it to the ball…or even the ballgame?

The “Great Commission” has turned into the “Big Question” in our society. In the Great Commission, Jesus commands believers to: “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” In our post-modern culture, resistance to that command now causes many Christians to ask: “is sharing Christ pushing my faith on others?”

Since we were first able to make sense of this life, we have thirsted for the next one. The question that has largely occupied our wondering has been, “Is there a heaven and if so, what is it like?”

When bad things assault us, they shout large questions to our hearts. Questions that begin with “Why,” How” and “Who.” And frequently our heart is at a loss for words.

It’s the 800-pound question sitting in your soul. Get it right and The Way to heaven stands before you. Get it wrong and the world will welcome you to its darkness.

Among the countless questions we ponder during our lifetimes, some tower larger than others.  Some are so huge they obscure the horizon.  Some are so important that eternity hangs on their answer.
