Symbol of Hope
“But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.” (Luke 11:20, NIV) You may not have thought about this lately (or ever), but symbols are very important to humans. I had this thought the other night while my wife and I watched a movie. […]
Why I’m Anti Grace
“From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.” (John 1:16, NIV) I’m anti grace. There, I’ve said it. And now I should probably explain it. In the verse above, John is talking about Jesus’ incarnation – how the Lord walked among us and we beheld his glory. And when […]
Prince of Peace?
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and […]
The Word became Flesh
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14, NIV) It’s hard to believe December is already here! If your home is like ours, the calendar fills up pretty quickly […]
Don’t Miss the Voice!
[Jesus replied] “Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.” (John 12:28-29, NIV) This is an interesting verse to me. Jesus has just made […]
Immanuel – God with Us
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth […]
The Gift of the Magi
16 “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.(John 3:16, HCSB) For this week’s installment of Catalyst, I wanted to share with you one of my (and my wife’s) favorite Christmas short stories. So […]

Advent Devotional
Adventus Domini is Latin for the Arrival of the Lord. An advent, in ancient times, signified a formal ceremony welcoming a king or emperor. We call the Christmas season advent for the same reason. We are celebrating the arrival of a king – one who will put the world to rights. The one who brings […]
