In the Midst of Dirty Dishes
In the Midst of Dirty Dishes Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: . . . whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies — in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. —1 Peter 4:9 – 11 ESV She and her husband had been missionaries for over sixty years and led countless people to Christ. Now she was in her eighties and still serving. My friend Sheli and I were honored to stay with her for a week to minister alongside her.…

Jesus’ Favorite
I’m Looking at You, John My sister is the oldest of six grandchildren born to my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and she has a nickname for herself that has made us giggle for the last few years, mainly because it’s true.

Patience: The Glory in Waiting
Patience: The Glory in Waiting “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Romans 5:3–5 In our microwave, instant-messaging, drive-through-window, cell-phone world, one thing many of us are not great at is patience. More succinctly: we hate to wait. Yet in reality, many hurry up to wait. We want what we want and we want it yesterday! When going through tribulations, we naturally want our trials to quickly be over and done.…

The Gift of Grace
The law of the harvest is explained in 2 Corinthians 9:6-15. Verse 15 says, “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” Now if a gift is that good that it can’t be described, I want to know about it. So what is this gift that the Bible says is indescribable? We don’t have to wonder because the answer is right there in our passage, “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed” (verse 8). The gift that God has given to each one of us, the gift that is…

2 CORINTHIANS: A Kinder, Gentler Paul
Paul wasn’t always the most popular person in the pulpit. That was true with the people of Corinth. His first letter was firm and forceful. In this, his second approach to the same body of believers, he appeals to them in perhaps a gentler, kinder way. He opens his heart and bares his soul. He talks of his own pain and struggles. Here is a saint who wasn’t afraid to be transparent and vulnerable. He gives us in this book perhaps our best instruction on comforting those who suffer. He learned the hard way that Christ says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in…
