In our summer Bible study this week, the theme was Anointing. We looked at how David was chosen by God for a specific task – king over His people. This was an anointing or CALL for service. Just like David was anointed for a higher purpose, we are anointed by God’s Spirit to fulfill our …
Clay and the Potter
A question of fairness came up in our summer Bible study this week. Specifically, why does God choose some to follow Him while others live and die on earth without ever knowing Jesus as their Savior? (John 15:16, Ephesians 1:4-5, 1 Peter1:1-2, Colossians 3:12) Good question. I can add it to the list of other …
A Runner’s Heart
I have a reoccurring dream … not the kind that shows up when I’m asleep, but the kind of dream my heart whispers to be true. The whisper says ...”you can run”. I’ve heard that dream whisper many times over the years and when it does, I have always taken up the challenge to exercise …
Overflowing with Gratitude
Who of us doesn’t love a good fairy tale? There’s a bright beginning . . . “once upon a time,” then the middle is adventure and crisis . . . romance and tension . . . , but we can endure any number of plot twists because we know the “happily ever after” ending is coming. …

Knowing God has …
Faith takes Root
Last week, I shared Colossians 2:6-7 which began with this phrase, “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,” and we walked together along Apple Road. That same verse continues, “having been firmly rooted.” When we receive Christ Jesus as Lord—He plants us into a place where we are firmly …
Our Witness Post
My road to freedom has involved walking with God. I mean literally walking WITH God along a road near my house—just me and God along Apple Road. As I walk, I usually take verse cards with me. I pray . . . I cry . . . I talk. Colossians 2:6-7 is written on one …
Worship Everywhere
You might be interested to know that worship really comes as naturally to our spirits as breathing comes to our bodies. You were made to worship—to ascribe worth to something. In fact, you are probably worshipping something or someone right now. The challenge comes in focusing our worship on the only object deserving of it—God. …
