  Memories light the corners of my mind.  Misty water-colored memories of the way we were . . .* The Way We Were (song) Barbra Streisand These lyrics of a 1973 song made famous by Barbra Streisand evoke feelings that each of us can easily relate to as we look back and contemplate the past.  Remembrance is a common human experience that fills our lives and frames our worldview.   We have shared cultural memories that we celebrate together, such as the upcoming Memorial Day on Monday, May 25th, a holiday for honoring the men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military. This is just one example of the many memorial days we set aside to help us remember important things such as wedding days, birthdays, Independence…

Life from Death

Life from Death

Blog, Church
“Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you— unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” (‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:1-4‬) There is a place in Rome, actually underneath the city, where there are approximately 600 miles of subterranean passages containing millions of Christian graves. These catacombs served as tombs from the second to the fifth centuries and were also used as safe places…

A Picture of Praise

A Picture of Praise

“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!”  (Psalm‬ ‭98:4‬) A picture truly is worth a thousand words when it comes to describing incredible design, masterful artistry, or the complexity of learning a new skill.  In fact, teachers understand this idea and incorporate this concept into their curriculums.  They understand the importance of seeing, hearing, and doing as key components in our learning process. It should not be amazing for us to understand God has used his knowledge of how he created us in his methods of teaching us about himself and the world we live in!  Yes, it is a beautiful day in God’s creation!   Let’s always be among those who honor his glory and understand He made us, and the earth that…

“Praise the Lord, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm‬ ‭117:1-2‬) Early on Sunday morning, just about the break of day, Mary and some other women came to the tomb where Jesus had been buried. However, the stone was rolled back and the tomb was empty. The Son had risen just as he had predicted many times.   In fact, this “Resurrection” Sunday was planned by God to be the culmination of Jesus’ mission to save people from sin and death.  From the start of his public ministry, Jesus knew he would be killed and that he would rise to live again. He told this fact to the religious leaders who were…

“And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” (‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:8-9‬ ) I love this time of year when spring is just beginning to burst upon us in the full glory of crocuses, daffodils and hyacinths.  The chirping of birds and chatter of squirrels greets you around every corner, and little green shoots are popping up all over the landscape.   The energy that was dormant in the ground during the apparent…
