The Sea of Disobedience
The Sea of Disobedience: An Allegory The first thing I heard was the wind whistling against me, so I thought,“I’ll sail slowly into this sea.”
Some will finish well, but many will fall away
As I completed a study of Exodus this past month, I was stunned by the many stories of people in the Bible confessing their belief in God and then quickly turning to an idol or to their own way. I am reminded of my own broken, messy story that gets messier when I listen to the world rather than to God or when I choose what is easy over what is right in God’s eyes. When I, or you, do that, we are intentionally falling away from our Great Redeemer and the Overseer of our souls.
All The More Gives Thanks!
Thanksgiving is such a beautiful time to remember what God has done in our lives. The Bible is full of stories of people who forgot what God had just done for them and gone back to the ways of the world.

What in the world does it mean to fear God?
If I’m asking this question, and you have the same question, we can pretty much be sure of this: we probably don’t fear God rightly. “This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13, emphasis added) “He said this to mankind, ‘The fear of the Lord is this: wisdom. And to turn from evil is understanding.’” (Job 28:28, emphasis added)
My Soul is Crying. Isn’t Yours?
“The world values you going to the gym more than to the deepest places of your soul…” – Shauna Niequest, Cold Tangerines. This is a post about crying. Not a post about the crying of physical tears, but the crying of our souls.
