When I was a kid one of the small handful of television networks that our TV would pick up regularly ran reruns of “The Twilight Zone,” and that program really kept us alert because we didn’t know what we were going to get each week — science fiction, fantasy suspense, a good ol’ creepy thriller. The one thing you could rely on, though, was that weird stuff was going to happen, weird and unexpected. Thankfully, this TV program prepared my brain for this week when, apparentl...

You know, Lord, sometimes hearing a theme, then reading that same theme the same day in a devotional, that’s truly amazing. So — there we were, listening to a remarkable list of talents/special gifts that You give to us Lord, knowing that not every one of us gets the same gift. We knew about gifts of prophesy, serving others, teachers, preachers, being generous, helping others and so on. As Pastor mentioned those plus a few other gifts, faces of folks flashed across our mind. For instance, long ago we knew Mom and Auntie had...
This week we continue to look at material from the book “Managing God’s Money” by Randy Alcorn. When Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthians he said, “I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Earlier in the letter he said, “We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.” I certainly don’t encounter this kind of talk in most of my conversations and interac...
