A bare cross and an empty tomb.
This Easter I want to encourage you to set everything aside for a little while and simply come before your Lord and Savior. Find a quiet spot for a few minutes away from the noise and “to do list” … then focus your thoughts and devotion on the two matchless scenes that define our faith, the bare cross and the empty tomb. Mark 16:5-6 Entering the tomb, they (Mary and Mary) saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing…

Hey Worry Wart
This last week many of my conversations with people have revolved around the area of worry. I have personally spent much of the last few nights failing to sleep because I’m worrying for friends in the church and my family.
