History marched toward his birth; that baby marched towards his death, all so grace would march, with life and hope into our lives. O Come Let Us Adore Him, Paul David Tripp I love how Paul David Tripp reminds us today that the Bible is not a selection of isolated stories and events. It isContinue reading “The Story of God and the Story of Us”

COVID19 has completely altered our lives for the last 9 months, and doesn’t seem to have quite run out of steam. Infections are on the rise, death tolls mount, and we still have many opinions about how we should respond? Do we stay inside to keep from possibly harming another person? Or do we continueContinue reading “Do You Need the Vaccine?”

You could answer with some general sense of your state and season of life “I’m busy. I am so slammed rightContinue reading “Come out of Hiding!”

What is one word that could describe the Christmas story? This is the question PDT asks in his Dec. 7 devotional in O Come Let Us Adore Him. It may seem impossible, but Tripp insists it can be done. One word can sum up God’s response to humanity’s rebellion to God, to the lost stateContinue reading “Grace Has a Name!”

(Note: I have been using Paul David Tripp’s Advent devotional book “O Come Let Us Adore Him” as the basis for my December devotions so far. I will continue to do so most days, but I will also share some thoughts that I came up with all by myself! It happens every once in aContinue reading “Are you Ready?”

I have some good news, and some bad news. Which do you want to hear first? You are familiar with that dilemma right… Which way would you proceed. Some want to start good and end with the bad – hoping the good news will be so good that the bad news will hardly matter. OthersContinue reading “The Best and Worst News Ever”

Today’s devo from PDT reminds me of a Christmas video my kids (and me) would watch when they were younger. It was the story of Alabaster the angel.
