I was listening to a sermon the other night, and the preacher said, “Destination is where you are going. Destiny is what you become along the way.” I thought that was an interesting quote, especially as many people talk about…
God Reveals Himself through the Wilderness
I was reading a book yesterday where the author unexpectedly started talking about how close he felt to God when he was in the wild places. He had some great quotes from John Muir, who found God in the wilderness,…
Ears to Hear
Jesus said six times in the gospels, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Matthew 11:15, Matthew 13:9, Matthew 13:43, Mark 4:9, Luke 8:8, and Luke 14:35) In all but one of those passages, Jesus was telling parables. …

I have a love-hate relationship with social media. It’s not for the typical reasons – the fakeness (though it exists) or the constant distraction (there’s a reason I don’t keep my social media accounts accessible to me 24/7!) It’s just…
Overcome Evil
One of the things that’s been bugging me recently is Christians moaning and groaning about how the world is falling apart. I’m not saying things are peachy-cool; it’s more than quite easy to find rampant evil in the world around…
Borders and Seasons
Driving across the United States is an interesting experience. Because I live on the East Coast, but I also travel fairly often to the western US, I’ve driven at least halfway across the continent a few times – about 80…
