Why They See Jesus in Us

“For you were formerly darkness, but now you are a light in the Lord; walk as children of light.” Ephesians 5:7 (NASB) Just because I am a born-again Christian does not mean I don’t have struggles. One that I remember clearly was when a young teenage boy had beaten up one of our sons in school with a hard object. He hurt him pretty bad. As a mother this was hard to take, but God gave me grace to forgive. Not long after this had happened, the young teen came to our home and asked for my son. At the […]

Spiritual Breath

“If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:6,7 (NASB) As a young Christian, I attended a seminar given by Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ. I learned about a process called spiritual breathing. This practice has kept me in touch with God to this day. Put simply, spiritual breathing […]

Broken Strings

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 (NIV) Just before we left on a tour to Alaska, I bought some cheap bass guitar strings. Figuring that they’d do for the trip, I saved a few bucks and wound them onto my Fender Precision. We were only three days in when the first one broke! I didn’t think too much about it until the second one snapped a week later. Then the third! Before that last “E” string followed the […]

God Cares About the Little Things

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) God blessed me with the opportunity to attend Briercrest Bible College, which I am very thankful for. During my time at Briercrest, I was part of the College Singers and loved every minute of it. Each Christmas, Briercrest put on a huge production and had multiple presentations, which we started practicing for weeks beforehand. I have such great memories of being a part of those concerts. Singing as a group with all the intricate harmonies and parts deepened my love for music and […]

Guiding Arcturus

“Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?” Job 38:32b (KJV) I felt like I had missed something. I needed to go back to the library and find the astronomy book again. I had researched the star groupings of Pleiades and Orion that God had pointed out to Job (in Job 38:31), but I had no idea what I had missed. I thumbed through pages, searching chapter headings. Then I saw it: Arcturus. We can find Arcturus by locating the first bright star off the handle of the Big Dipper. Arcturus (also called “the Bear” in the NIV) is 23 times […]

Residential School

“Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a reward from him.” Psalm 127:3 (NLT) As a child, I remember going for a ride with my parents and siblings one day after sundown. My dad was trying to convince my mom to send us to residential school, since our family was growing so fast, and he wanted to save mom from having too much work. I remember Mom saying, “No, I will never send my kids there. Those people don’t know who God is!” She convinced Dad that this was not a solution. Dad believed in God, too, but […]

Wrong Way

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” John 14:6 (NIV) Cain was the first one who tried it. Multitudes have emulated him over the years, and it’s become a popular theme in today’s post- Christian North American spiritual quagmire. Simply put, it is the concept that a person can come to God via some other way/bridge/ road/belief or approach than what God has mapped out for us. The story in Genesis 4 tells how Cain thought he could replace the required blood sacrifice with the fruit, […]

Submission Brings Transformation (Part 2)

“So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” 2 Kings 5:14 (ESV) Yesterday I mentioned how the Word of God, prayer, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit empower us with spiritual endurance and strength to hang on with all steadfastness. Faithfully maintaining our devotional life during these times may decline and can become a practice of the joyous past. To help us understand this, let’s consider Naaman, a great honorable […]

Submission Brings Transformation

“So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God.” 2 Kings 5:14a (ESV) As a follower of Christ, I have found that life can be difficult and unexpected events can challenge our resolve in our pilgrimage. The unexpected storm of grief, death, pain, trauma, or abandonment in life can lead to a long, difficult, dry and discouraging wilderness season. The storm seems to be invincible and hope of overcoming seeps from our hearts. Despite the trials that confront us, the Lord in abundant mercy and grace has given […]
