Exodus 3:5 – 8 The third chapter of the book of Exodus is probably most famous for the burning bush…when God appears to Moses and sets him on a course that would change not only his life but the lives of 2 to 3 million Hebrews. But there’s another part of this chapter that has…

Jeremiah 29:10 – 14 has always been an inspiring passage for me — a passage that caused me to pause and reevaluate how I was viewing my life at that moment. I remember one time in particular when I was driving back to work after a radiation treatment for lymphoma. I was feeling down; it was…

Introduction When we become Christians we usually come to God with a set of expectations, i.e., things we look forward to, anticipate, things we consider reasonable.

Many Christians come to faith with one or both of the following expectations: “I am a child of God. God loves me. Therefore nothing bad will happen to me; or at least the ‘bad’ will be short lived and not that severe.” Or “I am a child of God. God loves me. So I will…
