2 Corinthians, Acts, Ephesians, Galatians, Hebrews, John, Revelation, Romans

Without a spiritual rebirth and a mind transformation, we cannot see the Kingdom of God! Transformation comes from faith, faith firmly grounded in the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Ephesians, Joshua

We were created to glorify God and one of the best ways we can do that is to use our god given talents, resources, and time to pour into the lives of others. Paul writes in Galatians 5:14, “For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” The…

Chuck Peterman
Communication, Compassion, Courage, Entertainment, Growth, Loss, Resources, Stewardship, Thoughts, Time
1 Corinthians, 1 John, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, James, Romans

While entertainment is a-moral, it can become a god to each one of us if it usurps God on the throne of our hearts. We are like sheep and even when we are in the green pastures of God’s love and will, we can, in a heartbeat, find ourselves lost in the world of temptation…

Three Snapshots

Growth, Idols, Jesus, Lord, Magi, Temple, Waiting, Worship
Isaiah, Luke, Matthew

It’s often been said that we should “live for the dash,” meaning the part of our lives that comes between birth and death. While we should live for the in-between time, or the dash, we should only do so with an eternal perspective by honoring God in all that we do and by storing up…
