The LORD is My Shepherd | Psalm 23
Read: Psalm 23 Read: John 10:1-18 A few years ago I realized that I was rushing at a pace that was unsustainable. I was working long hours, gaining weight, losing sleep, and worrying about my health. So I decided to take a year to get myself back into shape. I started dieting, hired a personal […]
God Feels, So Should You by Courtney Reissig
I’ve always had a rocky relationship with my feelings. I’ve spent a lot of my adult life wrestling with these emotions that seem so potent and real, with a perception that to feel too deeply signified a lack of faith. Am I faithless when I ask God “how long”? Can I still say I trust […]

Read: Psalm 22 Read: Matthew 27:1-10, 27-54 Have you ever been angry with God? Have you ever complained to Him?

When the Nations Rage | Psalm 2
Read: Psalm 2 Read: Revelation 5 I think it is safe to say that, as a result of a confluence of crises, tensions are high. Really high. There seems to be a collective concern with what is happening globally. It’s no wonder that there are riots on the streets. The surface tension has broken. You […]
The Righteous Prosper by Adam Miller
Read: Psalm 1 Read: Matthew 5:1-16 Someone once said that if a picture paints a thousand words, then a poem paints a thousand pictures. When we add music to poetry and imagery, it makes it stick inside our soul. Have you ever been driving down the road, listening to the radio, and you hear a […]
Getting Back to a Heart of Worship by Adam Miller
The world has changed. How could it not? So many things have happened in such a short period of time. No one could have predicted the strange events if they had all happened in isolation from each other, but they all came at us at once and with such a force that knocked us off […]
The Psalms Move Us
Any piece of literature that has been cultivated, preserved, read and re-read, chanted, sung, said aloud and in quiet, taught, studied, memorized and proclaimed for millennia is worthy of the status of classic.
