Getting Along In a Different Culture (Esther 2:1-23)

Maintaining one’s distinctive religious practice in a diverse and changing environment is always a difficult challenge.

Queen Esther, by Sefira Lightstone Later when King Xerxes’ fury had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what he had decreed about her. Then the king’s personal attendants proposed, “Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king. Let the king appoint commissioners in every province of his realm to bring all these beautiful young women into the harem at the…

What Is In A Day?

What Is In A Day? This morning, the day is new. We look at the day ahead and ask, “What is in a day?” What lies ahead of us this day? None of us know. I spoke with a friend yesterday, and he had no idea the events of his day until they happened. Total surprise how his day went from one thing to another unexpectedly. Sometimes, we do know what we believe is generally going to happen, but, of…

Evidence of God's Providential Care

In our story so far, the angel Gabriel appeared to Zachariah and told him that his aged wife Elizabeth would have a child and his son John would have a mission given by God in calling Israel to repentance in preparation for the coming Messiah. Elizabeth was about 6 months along when the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary. Mary was told that she would give birth to the Son of God. She quickly headed…

When Self Becomes an Idol

WE EACH HAVE AT some point in our lives made decisions while thinking only about our own interests. Not every selfish decision is equally damaging, but a pattern can develop that is quite difficult to recognize. I have been talking with people about this subject since my hiatus on December 22, 2022. As a result, I came face-to-face with my idol of self, and I was not pleased with what I found. A…

W18D4: Connections to come and knowing God is my provider.

God over the years has allowed me to meet a lot of great people and to not only call them colleagues but also friends, brothers, and sisters. Today, I get to connect with a few of them and catch up. This morning in preparation, I am so glad that Provider and Alive were the first two songs to play while I went out on my dog walk too because I know that God is my provider and in the midst of…

War & Politics: Can Christians Serve in Political or Military Vocations?

Having argued that Jesus is Lord, which gives him alone the right to order his Kingdom, and that there is one authority over all to which we must answer, which means there aren’t different standards for “secular” and “religious” spheres, and having argued that God has both reserved vengeance for himself, now it’s time to ask the question that has divided how Christians engage with questions of…

Divine Providence (Esther 1:1-20)

“So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” Jesus (Matthew 20:16)

The Refusal of Vashti, by Gustave Doré (1832-1883) These events happened in the days of King Xerxes, who reigned over 127 provinces stretching from India to Ethiopia. At that time Xerxes ruled his empire from his royal throne at the fortress of Susa. In the third year of his reign, he gave a banquet for all his nobles and officials. He invited all the military officers of Persia and Media as…

Sometimes, God Says "No" ~ and we have to be good with it

Sometimes, God Says “No” ~ and we have to be good with it Have you ever asked God for something very specific, and His answer was “No”? For any of us who have followed Jesus Christ very long, we have all had prayer requests where we knew exactly what we thought was best. Yet, sometimes, God says “No.” A young father and mother praying for the life of their child. A wife and mother praying for the…

I Voted. I'm Glad I Did.

I did it! I voted in the Early Voting polls. I am also working in the polls. I have been blown away by the turnout of voters.

By the way, Texans, you can early vote right through to November 1st for early voting. Tuesday, November 5th is the official Election Day. The crowds are…

Context Matters

Balancing Historical Meaning And Personal Application In Scripture Brent Pollard While exploring devotional content on Bible Gateway, I encountered an article by Kathie Lee Gifford discussing God’s various names. She references Isaiah 43.19, highlighting God’s promise of something new and encouraging readers to remember His continual blessings. Though uplifting, this perspective requires closer…
