Do You Want to Be Happy or Right?
I had someone tell me years ago, “do you want to be happy or right?” Pretty good question I think, because we all want to be happy and we usually want to be right. Right? Think about the last argument you had, did you win? Did you prove you were right at the expense of the other person? You may h...

Finding Perfect Peace in Life's Imperfect Circumstances
So, what causes us to think God’s peace equals perfection on earth? Our expectations. I read where a pastor once said, “If I’m going to live at peace, I’ve got to surrender my expectation of perfection. Peace isn’t found in a place or in a set of circumstances that are problem free.” Amen, huh?Wh...

No Fear in the Valley: God's Mighty Protection
We all get scared. Some of us crave that sense of fear and go looking for it. But I think generally speaking we all get nervous and fear normal things too. I’m referring to physical breakdowns like illness (cancer comes to mind), injury, and death, but far worse is the danger of evil, of falling...

Strengthening Faith: Finding Answers in God's Word
I had a great conversation with a young man yesterday about his faith in Jesus. You see, like all of us, our faith gets challenged daily by non believers, false profits and believers alike. If we are not careful, it can cause us to have questions about our faith and really lead to some internal c...

Finding Peace Through a Calm and Humble Soul
One of the shortest Psalms, Psalm 131 is like a status update from a humble person. In about the length of a tweet, it lets God know where David is at in relation to the Lord.“O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too...

Jesus Is Your Peace: Finding Rest Beyond Circumstances
Peace and serenity. We all seek it, we all crave it and we all need it. But where is it exactly? You may be like me and think it’s just in the absence of noise or conflict. But it’s not in the absence those things. It’s the tranquil feeling that’s not dependent on you circumstances. The peace we...

Non-Anxious Presence: Finding Peace Like Jesus
So I’ve been reading and writing about “finding peace” of and on for a year now. To me, it is one of the most essential parts of my relationship with Christ. My vision of Jesus, in part, is peace.

Courage Is Not a Suggestion - It's a Command
I saw a video yesterday of the new Master’s Champion Scottie Scheffler’s interview. When asked if he was nervous or scared going into the last day of the tournament, he responded, “He plays golf to glorify God.” Because of that, he had total peace. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courage...

Finding Peace When Your World Turns Upside Down
Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best.

Seeking God's Peace Over Escaping Our Problems
In my daily prayer with God I’d say the number one thing I ask for is peace. Not much of anything matters to me as much as a sense of peace and serenity that only God can give me. You see, like most everyone, I too have seen some hard times. Heck, I’m sure there may be some more during my earthly...
