“Throughout the Bible, God’s heart to champion those who cannot help themselves is shown consistently, again and again.

Weeds, more weeds
I spent over two hours this morning pulling weeds in the garden. I crawled on my hands and knees, plucking out foxtail, smartweed, lambs-quarters, and, yes, the ubiquitous pokeweed.

Everywhere we look, it feels like the differences between us are being highlighted, broadcast and even capitalized. The enemy is doing his best to divide, alienate and separate us from one another.Continue Reading
Ponder and Meditate

Passing the Baton
