When Light Surprises | An Advent Guest Post

It’s Thursday morning here in Dallas and the weather this week has been up and down. The temperature Tuesday climbed above 80 before a cold front blew in and dropped overnight temperatures into the 30s. Wednesday morning, I had the privilege and opportunity to preach at our weekly church service. I am heavily imbedded inContinue reading “When Light Surprises | An Advent Guest Post”

The Kingdom is at Hand | An Advent Guest Post

Today, I am pleased to introduce you to my writer friend Mary Camille Thomas.

An Advent Evening Prayer | Help Us Endure, O Lord

As we enter the Advent season, I am growing increasingly aware that believers around the world are returning to traditions of old and rekindling their engagement with the liturgies of long ago. I think there is something comforting and reassuring in these disciplines and rituals. For some, perhaps they reek too much of organized religion.Continue reading “An Advent Evening Prayer | Help Us Endure, O Lord”

Celebrating the Hope of the Advent Season

Sunday morning marks the start of the 2022 Advent season. Born from the Latin word adventus , Advent refers to the coming or arrival of Jesus Christ, the long awaited Messiah. The Greek word for advent is parousia and means presence, arrival, or official visit. Once, God’s people, the Israelites, waited for the Messiah—God’s promisedContinue reading “Celebrating the Hope of the Advent Season”

Thanksgiving: Cultivating a Heart of Gratitude

It’s hard to be grateful for something you think is owed. It has been a challenging week for me on several levels—-mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. But, I am thankful. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have much to be thankful for and I choose to focus on those things rather than myContinue reading “Thanksgiving: Cultivating a Heart of Gratitude”
