This collection of pages is devoted to reflections on knowing a Good and Loving God through His Word.
I hope that you will find something helpful in your pursuit of a closer connection with your Maker.

What do we go to the word for?  Simple... to meet God, to see God...  Seeing God, meeting Him, changes us.

There are other reasons we go to His Word.  We may go in an attempt to justify ourselves, our judgementalism, our self-righteousness.  Or we may go for encouragement, guidance, answers, wisdom, comfort, strength, peace.  And certainly, we find these in His Word.

But in the end, we go to His Word because we want to see Him, to meet Him, to know Him -- His power, His justice, His unfailing love and grace.  It is this that changes us, that works wonders in our lives, that draws us into a closer walk and communion with Him.

Grace and Truth:   Connecting with God in an Age of Broken Promises

• An Encouragement...  who this is for.
• Eternal Life...  the most misunderstood term in Scripture.
• Heaven and Hell...  descriptions and operating principles.
• In the Beginning...  good, evil, and man as they relate to God and Satan.
• Grace and Truth...  can I -- or should I -- rely on God?
• Personal Impact...  grace and peace.
• Purpose...  transforming futility into meaning.

Bits & Pieces

• Everyday Witness...  what it means (and doesn't) for our day-to-day walk with God and our neighbors.
• Heaven on Earth...  a reasonable, even holy, desire best handled with a bit of caution.
• Morning Musings...  coffee, scripture, and a random thought or two.
• Words...  understanding the nuances in meaning in a few key words in New Testament scripture can dramatically impact how we understand and interact with God's Word.
