My Aunt Kay Jean suggested I start sharing a verse of the day.  I liked her suggestion but decided instead of a verse of the day, I would share a verse of the week.  Be reminded of who God is from His Word. Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God,      the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary;      his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint,      and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary,      and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;      they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;      they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31)

My Aunt Kay Jean suggested I start sharing a verse of the day.  I liked her suggestion but decided instead of a verse of the day, I would share a verse of the week.  Be reminded of who God is from His Word. Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2  Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,      and cry to her that her warfare is ended,      that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the Lord 's hand      double for all her sins. 3  A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord ;      make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4  Every valley shall be lifted up,      and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level,      and the rough places a plain. 5  And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,      and all flesh shall see it together,   ...

Here is a great song playing on the radio by Meredith Andrews about who God is.  I enjoy this song as it reminds me of one of my favorite Scriptures, Isaiah 40:28-31. The bridge is also powerful as it speaks the names of God.  Enjoy!

This past week, I wrote a guest post for our local paper, The Hesston Record.  It originally appeared in the March 9, 2016 edition.  This column will feature different pastors from area churches in the weeks ahead.  For those who do not receive The Hesston Record, I wanted to share my thoughts with you.  Have a great week! #HesstonStrong We are #HesstonStrong. This has become the rally cry for those affected by the recent shooting in Hesston at Excel Industries. We, as pastors, of the Hesston churches will be writing weekly reflections as to what this motto means to us.  Check back each week to see a response from pastors from other churches. Strong. What comes to mind? I know as a teenager I wanted to be strong which involved time and work in a weight room to build abs, biceps, quads, and shoulders.  As I grew up, strength became something that was portrayed in the workplace, home, and community showing others that despite circumstances, yo...

“To whom will you compare me?      Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One. 26  Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:      Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one      and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength,      not one of them is missing. 27  Why do you complain, Jacob?      Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord ;      my cause is disregarded by my God”? 28  Do you not know?      Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God,      the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary,      and his understanding no one can fathom. 29  He gives strength to the weary      and increases the power of the weak. 30  Even youths...
