Who do you trust? Why do you trust them? Can I trust you? Can you trust me? These questions arise daily, depending on whom we are talking with. At some level, everyone questions whether they can trust God. Can we trust Him? Most will immediately say yes, but why? We trust God because the Bible declares that he cannot lie. “God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not…

What kind of decisions keep you up at night? Topics like proposing to your girlfriend, choosing a job, selecting a school, or deciding whether your family should foster or adopt? These are all life-changing questions and require careful consideration. In these moments, we often turn to wise friends and internet searches for guidance. However, I’d like to focus on a question that is even more…

How much of your day do you spend seeking the good of others? Be honest with yourself when you answer this question. If you are like many people, the answer is, not much time. We say, I am at a stage in my life right now that won’t allow me to do things like that, but maybe someday. Or I have a full-time job so I just don’t have time. Or we ask, isn’t that the pastor’s job? Or do you know what…

Ever feel as if you missed out on something? You are hungry for that brownie, but the kids ate the last ones. You missed getting through the green stoplight by that much and now have to wait for the train, which is in slow motion. The person in front of you won the store giveaway. Missed it by that much. The sale ended the day before. Really? Ever since you were born a day late or a day early?…

Recently I have been reading a book called “Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis. The premise of the book is about a superior demon named Screwtape who is writing letters to a demon-in-training named Wormwood. The goal of these letters is to help Wormwood to destroy his “subject,” who is a Christian. The book was written in 1940 and is still very applicable today. However, while I will never be able…

How often do you leave the comfort of your home and head out into the community? Oh, I don’t know, maybe to the grocery store, the gas station, or a walk around the Luverne Loop and hopefully to church.  I’d guess most of us find ourselves going to at least one of those places. As for me, I’m looking a bit more into the future for that amazing day when I leave this world and go to a much better…

“Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God. The Lord is one! Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words that I am commanding you today are to be on your heart. Teach them diligently to your children.” Deuteronomy 6:4-7 These powerful words are part of the “Shema,” a prayer that is spoken daily in Jewish tradition. Those verses were some of…

Imagine a book that is at once beautifully bound and yet deadly to hold? Such a book would be quite the epitome and symbol of deadly knowledge, wouldn’t it? Like a cursed object one might encounter in a fantasy novel. But this isn’t fiction, it’s real and there isn’t only one. Thousands of such books, bound with vibrant green covers, were produced in the 19th century. Their unique and tantalizing…
