Read 2 Timothy 4:5 Reflect I love summer break. Our family spends a good amount of time planning our vacation. We plan the time off work. We plan our adventures. We plan our packing. We make sure the cars are in good shape and that our almost-ancient family boat is running. We save up months […]

Read 2 Timothy 4:2-5 Reflect Ever try to return something to a store, only to discover you have missed the return deadline? You can complain and disagree, but you missed it.

Read Matthew 28:7 Reflect Recently, a close friend called me, unexpectedly to tell me he was going to be in town and hoped we could meet for lunch. I was so happy to hear from him and so excited at the prospect of seeing him again; my mind was racing as I ensured I had

Read John 14:10 Reflect Is there an authority on truth? The idea that truth may be personally defined – what is true for me may not be true for you – is a popular one. People in western culture tend to be suspicious of anyone who claims to have a corner on truth. How do

Read Luke 23: 32-43 Reflect When was the last time you were so hurt or frustrated you weren’t sure what was going to come out next? What did you feel? How did it end? When was the last time you hurt someone and the only thing you could do was ask for forgiveness? How did

Read Matthew 28:9-10; 16-17 Reflect We’ve been working through the resurrection story this week on Your Next 40 Days. I wonder if at any point this week you thought: If I only could have been there 2000 years ago and seen it for myself, I would have believed. But I didn’t see it for myself,

Read Matthew 28:5 Reflect It’s kind of weird. Whenever an angel appears to a person in the Bible, the first words out of an angel’s mouth are “Don’t be afraid.” When the angel appears to Mary to announce that Jesus wasn’t dead, but alive, those were his first words.
