  • Worthy or not, here we come

    Updated Jul 24, 2008

    Worthiness. I don’t know about you, but geez, I struggle with this one. I know in the dark recesses of my narrow mind and hardened heart there is no way that I am worthy of God’s love. No way. Is this low self-esteem? No, I consider this true-esteem. If we are honest (come on… really honest), none of us are worthy. But thank God (literally), as Richard Rohr points out, “Our relationship with God is not a worthiness game.” If it were, we might as well pull the plug right now. Life is a balancing act between our personal...

  • What's in your mind and heart?

    Updated Jul 24, 2008

    The only one who knows the answer to that question is you…and God.

At other times, we are praised and honored, yet an honest look at our heart and mind would reveal that our motives and actions were not as pure and clean as one might think. In Psalm 139:23-24, the psalmist, King David, says, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any...
