Being stuck can be frustrating. If you’ve ever had your car stuck in snow or mud, you know the frustration that follows the moment you realize you can’t get out. Being stuck is not unique to simply driving, though. It also happens on our spiritual journey. As we pursue God’s best for our lives, there [...]

The Birth of a Saviour
Posted in Christ-Inspired Thoughts, tagged Birth of Christ, Frederick Buechner, God's Pursuit of Mankind on May 28, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been reading, on and off, a great book that is a compilation of sermons by Frederick Buechner called Secrets in the Dark. Here’s a short excerpt of one powerful message addressing the impact of the birth of Christ: The face in the sky. The child born in the night among beasts. The sweet breath [...]
Hanging in the Balance
Posted in Christ-Inspired Thoughts, tagged Good Friday, Easter, Philippians 4, Romans 5, Uncertainty, Hanging in the Balance, Decisions on April 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Today is such a fascinating day. It is the day between Good Friday, which commemorates the crucifixion of Christ, and Easter, the day of Christ’s resurrection. It is a day that some 2,000 years ago the disciples would have mourned and contemplated the future of this great movement their Rabbi had started. The future was [...]

Jeremiah 17:5-8 5 “This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD. 6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the [...]
The Opportunity of Your Relational Stage
Posted in Christ-Inspired Thoughts, tagged Married Life, Opportunity, Relational Stages, Singleness on February 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In my small group last night, we were talking about the idea of trusting God in your current season of life. This can be such an impacting idea if we could just get our minds around. We all go from season to season experiencing the good, the bad and the ugly. Tonight we focused specifically [...]
Victim or Victor?

Life can often throw us a curve ball. It’s true that bad things happen to good people, but in reality bad things happen to all people. So why is it that some people are able to rise above bad circumstance while others are overwhelmed by them? Well, the answer is all in our response to [...]
Your Life Mission
Posted in Christ-Inspired Thoughts, tagged Life Mission, Life Sentence, On Your Gravestone, TIm Elmore on January 8, 2010 | 2 Comments »
A few months ago, I attended a smaller conference that featured an author named Tim Elmore. He spoke about the idea of having a life sentence that essentially communicates your life’s mission. What will some day be written on your gravestone? Stephen Covey talks about the idea of “beginning with the end in mind.” Why [...]
The Real You

We are each created unique and God has a unique plan for our lives. This is something I believe and often preach, but it is so difficult to put into practice. A mark of true maturity is the point when we learn to “live in our own skin”. This isn’t something that comes naturally, but [...]
Relational Health
Posted in Christ-Inspired Thoughts on December 22, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I have a confession: I’m a workaholic. If that’s you, then this post if for you. As workaholics, we can often push aside healthy habits for the sake of ‘getting the job done’. In society, health has become a popular subject. We are told to watch what we eat, start working out and live a [...]
