Back when I was a student in grade school, there were some kids who truly disliked our math teacher. Why? There was only one answer he would accept for our papers and tests. It had to be “the right one.” It didn’t matter who you were. It didn’t matter how hard you worked, or how much time you spent. It didn’t matter how close you got. Anything but the right answer was just wrong. Talk about “…

Have you seen church signs saying, “Everyone Welcome Here!”  Do they really mean that? A teacher friend recently posted a picture of himself standing by a whiteboard welcoming his new class. Written on the white board was, “It’s okay to not know everything,” “It's okay to ask questions,” and a few more “It’s okay” statements. Then, at the bottom of the white board, it said, “Everyone is welcome…

‘Tis the season for back-to-school shopping, checking off supply lists, implementing lesson plans, and adjusting to new classes and schedules. Yet there is one thing you won’t find on the back-to-school checklist, but it is one of the most profound things you can do no matter what your connection to the school is this year – pray. Here are some suggestions with the help of Scripture to pray for…

To the brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ our Lord: May the peace of Christ be in you and with you always. I am writing you today because there is a problem. We are all being lied to. Our culture, the powers that be, the rulers and authorities in this land have been working for decades to silence us. They have told us that we must keep our faith to ourselves. That it is not welcome in the…

What does it mean to be a member of a congregation? It means something different to each person. The legal definition, if there really is a legal definition, is a person who participates in Holy Communion one time per year and gives $1 of record. That is it. Sadly, every congregation has a number of people on the roles of the church who do not even do that. What does it really mean to be a member…

Have you seen the pictures that you can make by typing in random phrases and then aregenerated by artificial intelligence (AI)? Phrases such as, “cats in outer space, eating tacos.” Or“a bunny riding a bike in Time Square.” These phrases are taken and generated into pictures that are funny but look so realistic! If you don’t believe me, google it right now. These images arecreated from people…

When our kids were in high school, we had a rule they had to participate in at least one organized sport a year. However, our son was more interested in snowboarding or skateboarding than organized school sports. Because of our house rule, last year he chose to participate in track and field. So, we purchased him nice running shoes … very expensive, I might add. The very first track meet was…

Our family recently enjoyed a vacation out to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. It was amazing to view this part of our country and witness God’s beautiful creation there. We also enjoyed family time together and time for rest in our cabin after hiking awe-inspiring trails near waterfalls and tranquil lakes. In Matthew 11:28 Jesus issues a gracious invitation: “Come to me all you who are…
