Ellen and I went on an errand late this afternoon and came home to a kitchen floor covered with garbage. We knew immediately what had happened.

Join us as we continue our study of Paul's letter to the Philippians.

There is a simple prayer I often find myself praying: "Lord, bless this mess." It is often uttered before a worship service for which I do not feel as prepared as I would like to be. If only I had one more hour to get my thoughts more concrete in my mind.

Paul writes in Ephesians 1:22 (NLT), "God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made Him head over all things for the benefit of the church."

Many of us are starting to feel like we’re on a deserted island. We might even feel isolated from God. Jesus reminds us, “I won’t leave you alone.”

I do not like being disappointed. I do not like disappointing others. Unfortunately, there are times when that will happen. Difficult decisions have to be made.

For those of us in Wisconsin, we know all about the State Supreme Court's decision which basically ended the current "Safer at Home" rules issued by Governor Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

When most people began working from home almost two months ago, I held out. I went to church every day, often being the only one in the building.

A lot of people can do nice things whether they are Christians or not. What makes the church different?

Have you ever read a passage in the Scriptures that you know is true but you really don’t want to hear it because it convicts you?

As some of you know, I have a rather eclectic musical palette. This afternoon was a jazz day. One of the songs I heard was “Conflicting Advice” by a band named Cinque.

This afternoon, I took some time to track our checking account and write down all the transactions that have occurred over the past month and a half.

This morning, I watched a few innings of live baseball from Korea. It was the first live baseball I have seen since a televised Spring Training game in March.

This is the time of year in Wisconsin when the weather plays with one’s emotions. A day in the upper 60’s or possibly even the lower 70’s makes one think spring has finally settled in and summer is on the way.

Join us as we continue our study of Paul's letter to the Philippians and learn how to find peace and contentment in Christ despite being in the midst of challenging circumstances.
