Wounds and Hope and Glory

October 7, 2010 — 5 Comments

Will our wounds plague us forever? We have all had wounds and trials and setbacks, and the best we usually expect is to neutralize them or to simply see them healed. Scripture promises much more. God turns the world upside down such that those events of our lives which appear to have had the most destruction will eventually bring the most glory and hope.

Instead of merely wishing for a return to the pre-wound status quo, we have a hope that these very wounds and setbacks will lead to an inconceivable glory. Who—but God—could conceive of a plan in which the darkest nights will lead to the brightest days?

Overcoming Chronic Failure and Sin

September 3, 2010 — 3 Comments

We all have chronic failures, sins, and shortcomings. We all would like to get rid of them, and we’re pretty sure God would like them to disappear too. Why doesn’t God just snap his fingers and take away our chronic failures? Wouldn’t that be the best solution? Maybe God is after something deeper.

(Sorry about the length of this blog–the longest I’ve done–but do please check it out. I hope it will be worthwhile.)

How do we sustain an intimacy with Christ?

April 30, 2010 — 3 Comments

How can we sustain an intimacy with Christ? There are times when we sense the tangible presence of God, and there are times when we sense an arid desert. God can seem—at times—silent, hidden, absent and even impotent. How in the midst of these deserts can we maintain, sustain, and even increase our intimacy with Christ?

Strength to face the day

April 20, 2010 — Leave a comment

Where do we find strength to face the day? When outside circumstances are great, it is easy. But where do we get strength to face the day when circumstances fail, when we lose someone we love, when our company goes bankrupt, when our kids get into serious trouble? Then, how can we have strength to face the day?
