God Stays Near When Things Are Awful

May 30, 2020June 6, 2020

When darkness, chaos, and emptiness swirl around us, it’s easy to assume God has left the scene. Not so. God stays near when things are awful.

As creation began, God hovered over a chaotic, empty, dark earth. He hasn't changed. In our dark times, He hovers over us and replaces darkness with Himself.

God (an author) is a master of suspense, but He doesn’t write novels. His crisis is real, as is His solution. God solves the crisis of darkness.

Can Words Change Reality? Apparently So.

February 10, 2017August 10, 2017

Words change reality, especially God’s words. He starts with creation – but doesn’t stop there. When God speaks, something always happens.

When God first spoke into a barren mess, new life appeared. When God speaks into our barren messes, new life appears again.

The Invisible Sculptor (He Speaks Ideas into Shapes)

February 3, 2017August 16, 2017

All creations reveal their creator: painter, author, young Lego® architect … or God. At creation the invisible sculptor of our world reveals HIMSELF.

Two Kinds of Creation (God’s and Ours)

January 20, 2017August 10, 2017

God’s creation is wild … yet controlled. Surprising … but dependable. Just like Him. And He, unlike us, starts with nothing but Himself.

We can't predict what God will do next, but we can predict the consistent goodness of His heart.
