The Joy of Serving
If it weren’t for people… work would be great. If it weren’t for people… church would be effortless. If it weren’t for people… humble service would be easy. Sacrificial service is something many people admire but may not truly desire to practice. Our culture values...
To Live Is Christ
It could sound to some like Paul is tired of this life and is looking forward to death. Life certainly wasn’t easy for him. He was persecuted, shipwrecked, beaten, at times poor, and was imprisoned. But Paul is not looking to escape this life. He is happy to live...

What God Starts, He Will Complete

(Week 6 – Friday) Final Words
Over the last year, we spent many quiet mornings sitting next to a giant. He wasn’t 10 feet tall in stature, but he was big in heart. My Cuban Abuelo was married for 70 years to the same woman, worked hard, and loved well. He was the patriarch and centerpiece of our...

You Walk, Just Like Your Father
You talk with your hands, just like your mom. You laugh, just like your grandmother. You walk, just like your father. Have you heard comments like these before? We all possess traits passed down from our family, or simply acquired through our constant imitation. ...
Guard the Gospel
I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to live in a different time in history. A day when the world wasn't so cynical, when tolerance wasn't a religion, when success meant more than money and power, and when more people genuinely looked out for each...
Fight the Good Fight
Have you ever found yourself trying to be diligent, focused, and resolved in your spiritual walk, but somewhere along the way discipline starts to wane, life (and the world) gets crazy, and you find yourself either giving in to things you didn’t use to or getting...
Called to Represent
I sat on the couch in his office and prayed for God to help me to respond kindly. Across from me sat my boss who was a Christian man, and I worked at a Christian school. Over the course of several weeks, he had questioned my capabilities, misrepresented my motives,...
Loving Our Leadership
Have you ever been in a church where the leadership is untrustworthy? Where the teaching has been unbiblical or very shallow? We went to a church once where the main text of the sermon was a magazine article! The Bible was just an add on. Needless to say we...
Who Do You Love?
