It’s Friday…Who Can Protect Us?
We live in an unsettling world, don’t we? There is no such thing as security here. Thieves break in, accidents happen, illness strikes, terror assaults, and death is a reality – no one is immune. No human institution can guarantee our safety 100% of the time. The locks on our doors, the airbags in ourContinue reading “It’s Friday…Who Can Protect Us?”
It’s Friday…Practice Gratitude and Praise
We sing when we’re happy – or whistle, or hum, or something that displays our joy. That’s because true joy can’t be easily contained. Neither can our other emotions.

It’s Friday…We’ve Been Cut Free
As we celebrate our 246th year of Independence as Americans this weekend, my heart is also rejoicing that as children of God we are set free from the oppression of sin. Israel rejoiced in the fact that despite years of oppression – despite slavery in Egypt, domination by foreign powers, captivities in Assyria and Babylon,Continue reading “It’s Friday…We’ve Been Cut Free”
It’s Friday . . . Let’s Enjoy Our Freedom
It’s Independence Day weekend. As Americans we value our freedom, don’t we? Our Nation has been founded on its virtues, and we instinctively recognize basic liberties that every human being should have. And slavery isn’t one of them. So when Scripture refers to us as servants, slaves, or any other term of subservience, it putsContinue reading “It’s Friday . . . Let’s Enjoy Our Freedom”
