Waiting for that day

What Strength Really Looks Like

What does a strong person look like?  When I say “strong person,” my imagination creates a picture of someone standing tall and confident. I see him as he holds his head high, his chin pointed toward the sky. He keeps his hands on his hips, ready to conquer. He makes himself larger in the shadow of the vast world. The sky illuminates behind him as the mountains shrink in his presence. Nothing can slow him down, and nothing can stop him. He is a strong person. When we think of strength, we each—in our own way—summon images like these. We imagine a person with enough willpower to do anything they believe in. We imagine a hero. We associate strength with power and power is associated with heroic actions. This makes me feel smaller. It makes me feel like I can never measure up to the strength and dignity of a hero. I will never be that big. I will never be that important. I will never make big changes in the world. I am the person who might make little ripples—coursing lov...

Four favourite children’s Bibles

Four favourite children’s Bibles Most Christian parents and grandparents are constantly looking for good reading material for the little ones in the family. What could be a better gift than an age-appropriate, biblically and theologically accurate children’s Bible that you can read aloud while the kiddos are sitting on your lap or wreathed around you on the sofa? I’m a big believer in family Bible reading and have been fortunate enough to read through several different ones with my children over the years. Below is my recommended list of four favourites in ascending order of preference, along with a couple comments about why I like them.

But if you’re lo...

5 Exciting Ways Jesus is with You Always

If Jesus seems distant to you, you are not alone. For many, Jesus is abstract. He is like that piece of modern art you just don’t get and have trouble relating to. But this is not the Jesus in the gospels nor of early church tradition. Jesus is  right here , right now—and that idea will renew your life. 1. Jesus is indeed fully human and fully God—that changes everything. In the moment when God becomes flesh, God is  with us  in a more profound way than ever before. Jesus took on the form of a person in order to forever bond the spiritual and physical—to bridge the gap sin had created. “ ‘Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel,’ which is translated, ‘God with us.’ ” ( Matthew 1:23 LEB ) And this changes everything,  right here , right now. If  God is with us , then what can stand in opposition ( Romans 8:37–39 )? God is dwelling among us: “And the Word became flesh and took up...
