I grew up in a strong, loving Christian home. My parents lived out their faith everyday in their lives and they taught me and my sisters how to walk with the Lord.

Well, we did have one sister who was like that but for me and my oldest sister — there were attitudes and debates and some pushing back against the rules.

Have you ever wanted to simply break free, run away and escape your troubles? Maybe you were feeling exhausted from an overwhelming to-do list, drained by everyone in your house always needing something from you, or just plain stuck in a bad situation that you cannot escape. Sometimes relational conflict makes life hard to walk through and we wish we could skip the next 24 hours, where we have to see the person who has hurt us. In Psalm 55:6, David said: “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away.” Join me on this video as […]

There is a new home being built on the street right behind my house. Each day I wake to the sound of birds chirping and then…the hammers begin hammering. If you’ve ever been on a construction site, then you know how loud the bulldozers and saws and cranes and other power tools can be. And so when I read 1 Kings 6, I was struck with awe as Solomon’s magnificent temple was being built…in silence! 7 When the house was built, it was with stone prepared at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard […]
