These past two weeks I've shared some thoughts on Psalm 23. Today, I want to look at the final section of this great song of David.

You’re getting … Continue reading Reflections on the Psalms: Part 1

500 Days IN THE WORD
Steve Jobs dramatically changed my relationship with Jesus. For years, I struggled to read my Bible. I knew it was something I should do. I knew that life was better when I had my “quiet time.” I was a youth pastor and I would tell my teens that they needed to be IN THE WORD, … Continue reading 500 Days IN THE WORD
