Christian Friends
Christian Friends
By Mariel Roersma
God didn't create us to be alone. From the very beginning when He created Eve, He made that pretty clear. It's important for us to have friends in our lives who have similar beliefs, who want to journey with us in our faith.

How To Talk To A Protestant About Mary
How To Talk To A Protestant About Mary
By Tony Jesse
There is a poem about two ships passing in the night. In the poem, the passing ships tell the reader about two people who see each other for the first time and only for a short duration and then part ways, disappearing into the vastness of the earth. The poet is telling readers that such people are like two ships, which passing by each other at night and come face to face for a brief unclear view.

The Perfect Home
The Perfect Home
By Deacon Frederick Bartels
Sometimes, he can't put his finger on precisely what is wrong, aside from the obvious effects of the carpet bombing of sin. Even if his life might be imbued with satisfying contentment, he notices there's a persistent emptiness here, in this place, and that things are less than perfect. Contentment, like pleasure, all too soon evaporates.

"Pentecost" and the Little Brown Box
By Ralph Hathaway
Happy Birthday was sung and my friends handed me two boxes for the celebration of this festive occasion. Taking them home, my heart was racing as I anticipated what these gifts might contain. One was large and beautifully wrapped in red paper, to commemorate the feast day, and was tied around with golden ribbons, indicating the greatness of this special time.

Day 12 – The Centurion

The Comfort of the Cross
The Comfort of the Cross
By The Prayerful Pilgrim
Again this week, I was reminded of the greatness of God and the pure gift of grace that flows from the glimpses He gives us of His Eternal Plan. We are on the reverse side of the tapestry…all the knots and tangled colors seem meaningless so much of the time.

A Church for All Seasons
A Church for All Seasons
By Tanya Janoski
There are things about myself that I try to keep hidden, but my efforts are futile against those who know me all too well. We all have our weaknesses or ingrained prejudices that we are not very proud of. What is most astonishing is how we think we can somehow hide our weaknesses or prejudices from our heavenly Father.

Day 11 – More than Faith Alone
Day 11 – More than Faith Alone
By David Vermont
In the New Testament reading we read three passages that might sound surprising to our modern ears. Matthew relates to us the teaching of Jesus, in which Jesus clearly delineates that entrance into Heaven is not based on your faith alone, but what you DO once you’ve come to faith.

Losing with Grace
Losing with Grace
By Caroline Godin
My son pouted in his booster, reluctantly putting his seatbelt on as we rolled out of the dusty parking lot from the soccer field. “Buddy,” I repeated, “you played a great game. You made a few incredible diving saves! What’s to be upset about?”

Is Jesus Really Divine?
Is Jesus Really Divine?
By Deacon Frederick Bartels
Is Jesus divine? On the other hand, was he nothing other than a mere man, perhaps a good and kind man of outstanding moral character who, rather strangely and perhaps simply for his love of people, chose the life of abject poverty in order to happily stroll about the Galilean countryside teaching others how to live?
