Silence is Golden
Worship life that pleases God is…
Less talking and more listening
Less promising and more obeying.
Alone in the Crowd
Times of trouble become unbearable
Accomplishments become rivalry
Sacrifice becomes waste
Friendship becomes vacant
Influence becomes vapor
O Say What You See
We see obvious injustice
We say what we believe about it
Limited seeing results in limited believing
Seeing further recalibrates our belief
What Time Is It?
We must reckon with this foundational reality
Our own efforts lead to frustration and frivolity
Freedom comes when we’re found by Jesus
