(Isaiah 55:12)   Hello Saints, The colors this year are spectacular. I intentionally take the “back roads” to get to where

If not us...who?

If Not Us…Who?  Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! “For health and strength and daily bread, we give thee thanks oh Lord” was the little ditty we sang before meals at the Christian camp I attended just outside of Rockwood some fifty years ago now. We sang it in a round, all of us, a whole bunch of children and even a whole group of them from

Even the trees

Even the trees Against its will, everything on earth was subjected to God's curse.  All creation anticipates the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. (Rom. 8:20-22 NLT) Hello Saints, At the

To follow Jesus is to suffer with Him

To follow Jesus is to suffer with Him “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” (2Tim. 3:12) Hello fellow followers of Jesus, I have been wrestling with the whole idea of Christian persecution since the death of Charlie Kirk. I have really only one reference for analyzing whether true persecution is taking

Not in Vain

Not in vain This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. (John 3:19-20)   Hello Saints, It would be amiss of me on this mid-September morning to

Going Home

Going Home Today is the day. It’s over! Our time out west has finally come to an end. Tonight, I’ll be in my own house, my own bed, resuming life as usual. In a way it’s bitter sweet – I have to say good-bye to cherished friends and a care-free lifestyle a vacation mindset offers, yet I get to reunite with friends and family I left behind. I’m

If I go underground, you’re there!If I flew on morning’s wings to the far western horizon, You’d find me in a minute—you’re already there waiting!Then I said to myself, “Oh, He

(Proverbs 3:5-6)   Hello Friends,  Here is a really familiar verse that I have been meditating on in the last two days. Not sure why, but it was really impressed upon my heart. It’s one of

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike

Matsa Moments - Pastor Mike


The Hebrew word “Matsa” means to: find, meet, discover, encounter. It is used in Deuteronomy 4:29 where the Lord says, "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Throughout Scripture, there is an invitation from God to find Him; He actually rewards those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). To see God we must be looking for Him.

This blog is a journal of finding God - discovering who He is; learning more about His character and attributes, as I encounter Him in in His Word and world around me. These posts are theological reflections emerging out of a desire to understand how the Creator interacts with us, His creatures. Hopefully, through these you will see how the Ever-present Holy One also invites you to know Him more.
