Just Be There
Job's friends sat with him in silence for seven days before saying a word, and their presence alone was a comfort. When a friend is hurting, we can spread God's grace by just comforting and loving.

Still Beside My Bed
My dad gave me a book on Psalm 23 years ago, it still sits on my nightstand. Even in dark valleys, we need not fear, because the goodness and faithfulness of God will follow us every day.

Not There Yet
Love that doesn't even notice an offense, is that even possible? I'm not there yet, but I think it's possible, because God's love already lives in every believer. We just have to choose to yield to it.
October 2, 2026Suffering
God Karma
Job was good and still suffered without ever knowing why, yet God was still good. Good things don't always happen to good people, but we're invited to be His hands and feet even without answers.

The Still Small Voice
God isn't the problem when it comes to hearing Him, we are. He's not always in the wind or the fire, sometimes it's a low whisper. Lean in, pay closer attention, and begin the conversation.

He Ain't Heavy
A street child carrying his baby brother said it best: he ain't heavy, he's my brother. Bear one another's burdens. A gentle word or a small lift of the load restores on many levels.
August 24, 2026Testimony
Your Story to Tell
Just back from the Rockies, listening to old friends and new ones tell their stories got me thinking about sharing our own, the story of God's forgiveness. Who do you know who needs to hear it?

Two Masters
The pursuit of more can quietly crowd God out of our lives. If money can suffocate human relationships, how much more might it hamper our relationship with God? You cannot serve two masters.
July 28, 2026Relationship
He Wants to Stay for Dinner
Following Jesus isn't a religion or a barter. He doesn't just hand you a ticket to heaven and move on, His plan is to come in and stay for dinner. So make room.

Bear One Another's Burdens
Kathryn Ledford, a member of our Be Nice Grace Wins family, is fighting colorectal cancer for the third time. Bear one another's burdens. Give, pray, or send encouragement.
July 6, 2026Compassion
Angels Unawares
I pray nightly for compassion, especially toward those who oppose me. Compassion isn't giving up on truth. It's loving people while staying rooted in the Word. Some have entertained angels unawares.
June 17, 2026Gratitude
Like a Father's Arm
Today is short and sweet because God's love is simple. His love endures forever. I felt it yesterday at treatment, like a father's arm around a son. I am humbled with gratitude.
June 1, 2026Humility
Have This Mind
On Friday we talked about choosing humility before our feet hit the floor. Today, Paul shows us why. Jesus emptied Himself, that's the bar.
May 25, 2026Unity
What Does It Matter?
When you find yourself judging someone else's motives for sharing the gospel, ask what Paul asked from his prison cell: what does it matter? As long as Christ is preached.

He Loved First
Watching the sun come up, I can't help but marvel at what God has made. Loving Someone you can't see takes faith. But faith and action don't earn His love, He loved us first.
May 20, 2026Love
Love Made Visible
Every relationship needs two things, love and action. Real love always shows up in what we do. Touching the lives around us is a surefire way to touch God's heart.
May 15, 2026Love
The Dude in the Left Lane
The Golden Rule is easy in theory, hard in traffic. Loving the people we don't like takes seeing them differently. Even the dude in the left lane is made in God's image.
May 14, 2026Incarnation
God With Us
Why did God send Jesus? He could have chosen any way to save us, but He came close. Immanuel means God with us, close enough to touch. So let's live that way too.
