People of God, befriend the forsaken
I’d seen it in Scripture, yet had not seen: How strongly God commits himself to defend the forsaken. How strongly he urges his people to befriend the forsaken.
Sometimes, intimate conversation with God is passionate and fierce.
It is God who has wronged me
Deeply grieving, falsely accused, Job cried in anger. “It is God who has wronged me!” Sometimes, intimate conversations with God are passionate and fierce.
Defender of the forsaken – this is God
The Lord sees when the vulnerable are wrongly rejected. He hears when the helpless cry to him, and he champions them. Defender of the forsaken – this is God.
O say, can you see?
I did not dream that, in my lifetime, leaders in the US church would convince so many to embrace such skewed views of God, Christianity and country.
See! I am doing a new thing
Nine months ago, I did not see renovation in my future. Now, I’m neck deep in refreshing my website. And I’m marveling at God’s renewing work in our lives.
I AM the one you seek
The name “I AM” is the Lord’s treasure detector. When Jesus says it, he is urging, “Search for treasure here. I want to show you more of who I AM.”
Earthquakes, trauma – and silences that erase
Any eerie, uneasy silence that minimizes or denies an earthquake - or any other trauma someone is facing - shouts to those willing to hear: Look deeper. Ask, Why?

It may be in a month that’s little noticed when the earth moves under you. And God says, “You’ve stayed here long enough.” And something within you shifts.
The Lord who breaks open the way
“She cannot say that!” the woman yelled. Half a world from my home, she forbade me to invite the churched to repent. Then, we watched the Lord break through.
When Christian leaders reject God
I saw it for the first time in a meeting I called and led. No. Actually: I realized then what I had been seeing for years. It broke my heart. I’ve tried to tell the story twice before. Both times, I described what happened in that meeting, but did not include any backstory. Now it’s time to write the whole story. Bring honor to your name, holy Lord.
