By Faith – Learning by Example from the Old Testament Saints
Hebrews chapter 11 begins with these words: “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for” (Hebrews 11:1-2). But immediately preceding these words, in the last verses of the previous chapter we read, “‘But my righteous one will live…
Hiding God’s Word – Regarding Honesty
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you” (Psalm 119:11).

Vulnerability of Faith
“Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love and go to the land of Moriah and offer him there as a burnt offering” (Genesis 22:2). God’s call to Abraham to sacrifice his son opens one of the most familiar yet harrowing narratives in the Bible. The reader is told very little about the…
God’s Promise, Our New Beginning
As we grow in knowledge of God’s Word, it is all too easy (if you’re like me) to fall into a drowsy sort of familiarity. Many times, as I read passages I know well, I am numb to the wonder I remember from my earliest readings. Only by God’s grace am I ever shaken awake…
Longing for a New Beginning
Psalm 42 begins with the familiar refrain, “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God” (Psalm 42:1). This desperate desire for God stems from the depth of his internal pain which feels as if it was a physical wound, his days are filled with tears, his soul is…
