A storm ripped through Denver on Saturday night. The running joke among the church staff is that storms always hit on Saturday nights. Never on Monday when you have all week to get ready for the following Sunday. Nope, Saturday nights. This storm did a surprising amount of damage in a fairly concentrated area. Several...
How do we trust the Bible? Especially for which books were included— which not— why? I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God that is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). I study these words each week, trusting God to use them to guide, strengthen and nurture...
Since the congregation has asked so many good questions, I’m covering some of them in my mid-week blog. Question of the Day: How does the Christian reconcile staying away from those who could influence you wrongly by their habits/actions and accepting them when they are around you?

One day God will judge those who have killed the innocent. I know God sees the unjust war in Ukraine and is deeply grieved. Why...
I can’t see the wind, but I see the effects of it. It’s obvious when a sudden gust blows the branches of the tree in my front yard, bending it with its strength, tossing the leaves aside. Or when I’m at the beach and a constant breeze off the shore pushes against my clothes. There...
Most nights I can fall asleep quickly. I read before bed and as I find myself drifting or reading the same sentence a couple of times, I know I can put my head on the pillow and be out like a light within seconds. Most nights… Some nights I toss and turn, usually when something...
My family spent the past week at Sunset Beach for our annual post-Easter vacation. Sarah’s parents joined us, which meant Sarah and I could sneak out for nightly walks after the kids were in bed. Most evenings we’d start on the beach and walk until the sun had set. One night, when the beach was...
