While Otherwise Occupied was inspired in a flash of insight. A mental picture, really, that appeared like a two-frame photograph. We all know the saying ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’ Well, grab your teacup or coffee mug, Dear Christian. I can’t share the picture without the words. I pray it elicits wisdom, conviction, […]

As of late, I’ve taken to preaching to the choir in my head, but that suffices only so long. Time for another letter, dear Christian, largely composed from the inability to keep quiet for an indefinite period. What then shall we say? That is the question. The answer in part is not a lack for words […]

Have you experienced times, dear Christian, when the grace has lifted? Consider it a rhetorical question. My guess is by the end of this post, your answer will be a resounding Yes. PS – You’re still loved by Jesus. There are times in life when it becomes apparent that beating a dead sheep is overkill. […]

Since I’m not able to go home and crawl in bed, this one is hot off the headache press as a reminder to me – and to you – that there’s a wound for that. And that’s just an achy head. What about all the rest that hurts? Time for another letter of truth-love, dear […]

Originally, I thought about titling this post Twelve Days of Death, but even I recoiled at those words. Since the last two weeks have delivered up more questions than answers, I decided to go with Twelve Days of Why? Why? For those who may think I live on easy street if I only have twelve […]

Dear Christian ~ welcome to The Genuine and The Counterfeit. This has been an interesting season, especially the past many weeks. One challenge after another has met me nose to nose and in the news, all while hawking the counterfeit in place of the genuine. With faux everything a cultural immersion these days, I see […]

This post is a throwback to the early days of Wellspring when I first began writing of the heart life. Over nine years later, this season is full of a strange tension. Fingerprints of God I readily state that I live watching for the fingerprints of God. Of late, it seems that a personal era […]

“Oh God tell me, what’s going on?” My mind could use relief. When in doubt, remember this: beware of unbelief. Welcome, dear Christian, to a timely discussion of the difference between doubt and unbelief. Timely because this is still the age of grace. Understanding that there is a difference may one day save your bacon. […]
