A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity. Proverbs 17:17

Lord, let them see You in me.

As a deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, God.

Many books can inform you. But there’s only one that can transform you.

There is nothing easy or cheap or casual about following and living for God, and yet this God also sent His Son, Jesus, to take on himself the punishment for our sin.

The name of the city from that time on will be “The Lord is there.” Ezekiel 48:35

I am so thankful for a God who “had it” all along the way, who never let me go, and who was always working, even when I was not aware.

With all my heart, I am waiting, Lord, for You ! I trust your promises.

No matter what you are facing, remember Deuteronomy 20:4 “The Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.

It takes only a cursory glance around our homes, churches, communities, and globe to discover that men-maybe even most men-have missed the goal to live as kingdom men.”

There’s a Way to Stop Mass Shootings, and You Won’t Like It.

That’s right. You’re not going to like it because it’s going to require you to do something personally, as opposed to shouting for the government, or anyone to “do something!”

You ready? Here it is:

“Notice those around you who seem isolated, and engage them.”

If every one of us did this we’d have a culture that was deeply committed to ensuring no one was left lonely. And make no mistake, as I’ve written before loneliness is what causes these shooters to lash out. People with solid connections to other people don’t indiscriminately fire guns at strangers.

I know what you’re thinking. That’s never going to work because no one is going to make the effort to connect with the strange kid sitting by himself at lunch each day. No one is going to reach out to…
