His assignments = privileges

By Dave Henning / March 17, 2024

“When we see ourselves through Jesus’ eyes, His assignments start feeling less like burdens and more like privileges. . . .  The more I see myself through Jesus’ eyes, the more I see Him as my helper, not vice versa. . . .  And because He delights in me, He lets me work on some […]

Future fruitfulness – provision

By Dave Henning / March 16, 2024

Nearsightedness – overlooking

By Dave Henning / March 15, 2024

Seeing is what matters

By Dave Henning / March 12, 2024

“No amount of self-talk or willpower can change us if we are seeing things incorrectly.  Our good intentions and vows to be better don’t make us better. . . .  Seeing is what matters.  What we see.  How we see.  If we see.”- Alan Wright (emphasis author’s) “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he […]

Concrete fact – the Resurrection

By Dave Henning / March 10, 2024

“The Resurrection, not taken as a symbol but believed as concrete fact, will lift up the downtrodden, and will change the world.  Belief in a final judgement gives us enough hope so that we will neither resort to violence to bring in justice nor give in and collaborate with injustice.”- Timothy Keller Timothy Keller concludes […]

Great challenge to human hope

By Dave Henning / March 8, 2024

“The great challenge to human hope is not just the question of where history is going but of where we are going.  The great problem is how to have a human hope that can make sense of death, stand up to death, and help us to face the fear of death and even triumph over […]

Look for Christ – find Him

By Dave Henning / March 7, 2024

“The principle runs through all life from top to bottom, Give up yourself, and you will find your real self.  Lose your life and you will save it. . . .  Nothing that you have not given away will really be yours.  Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the […]
