The Next Chapter: Living God’s Way

By

It was almost exactly seven years ago when I launched Peace in the Storm, in January 2005. It was a different time in my life. It was a different time in your life. It was a different time in the life of online communication – no Twitter! no Facebook! Today, the next chapter begins. Thanks for [...]

Not As It Is In Heaven

By

Jesus prayed that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). If God’s will being done on earth “as it is in heaven” were a given, that prayer would not have to be spoken.

Verse for the Day: Isaiah 43:16

By

I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea.(Isaiah 43:16 – New Living Translation) I'm praying for the proverbial sea to be parted today. Whether God does or doesn't, it's good to be reminded that He can. If He doesn't, still I trust Him. Our God [...]

An Opportunity for Joy

By

Something to think about: "Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy." – James 1:2 (New Living Translation) The version of the Bible I was reading offline – also New Living Translation, but apparently a different edition – replaces "consider" with "let," which for some reason strikes [...]

O Come All Ye Faithful

By

Several weeks ago, I was refreshed, revived, invigorated – pick a word – when John Fischer spoke at our church's men's retreat. I've been receiving John's "Catch of the Day" emails since then, and I really appreciate his ministry. One of his recent writings seemed to fit well with both the Christmas season and the [...]

Yet I Will Rejoice (Habakkuk 3:18)

I departed from my "scheduled" Bible reading today and opened the Bible in search of random (or Spirit-led) inspiration. First I opened the book to 1 Kings. I don’t want to read there.

Looking for Peace, Wisdom and Understanding

By

That title, I suppose, sums up what I’ve been up to over the past several weeks. What about you? I haven’t written a Peace in the Storm post since the "What David Knew" series, so I thought I would check in with some recent musings from my journal… Inspired by a sermon series at our [...]

What David Knew: God’s Love

By

The "What David Knew" series is officially over, but I wanted to share just one follow-up post. As I was reviewing the text of Psalm 139:13-18 from week to week while writing this series, what became clear to me was that what David knew could be summed up this way: David knew God’s love. For [...]
