God Meets My Need

Q: Life can be really hard and it doesn’t seem like God is actually providing for my needs. What now?A: Dear reader, I (Brandon) resonate deeply with this experience! You are not alone! It reminds me of a scene in the television show “The Office,” where the lonely and hated HR director, Toby, musters up the courage to enter a church and talk to God. At first he approaches respectfully, but then he honestly blurts out, “Why you gotta always be so mean to me!?”

Sojourners with a heavenly home

Today it’s okay to not be okay, It’s alright to be broken and to mourn. You have permission to bemoan the fact that we’re not yet home. There is space for your tears, friend. Jesus understands the weeping of the here and now, and he’s also secured our forever home with him.

Tough questions

Matthew 21:33-46 and Isaiah 5:1-7. God has some really tough questions for his people! How could I answer them? Let's look at Jesus' harsh words in light of his life and actions.

Are you stuck? Detours and roadblocks on our journey with God.

Getting stuck doesn’t even require traumatic events. It can happen on a random Tuesday. Suddenly WHAM! I hit a roadblock in my spiritual life. Or I can have the slow recognition over many months that somehow I’ve taken a detour and have no idea how to get back on the right road.

The cure for cynicism

Cynicism is being suspicious of everyone’s motives. For me, cynicism starts from my own insecurities. At times I doubt that my friends and family, even my wife, actually love me.

Attending to God in the ordinary

What does it mean to attend to the presence of God? What exactly am I attending to? Oftentimes we'd like God's work in our life to be special and flashy. But God delights to work through ordinary means. We want to cultivate a growing trust that God is forming us through mundane means, every single day. What God asks of us is to be present and to live in reality.

It's not enough

What do you need? More time? More money? More support? More sleep? More pain relief? More willpower? I don’t know what it is, but I know there’s not enough. There’s never enough. I always need more! And, it seems, that God isn’t doing much to meet my needs. He hasn’t brought my ship in yet, nor has he healed my broken relationships. He hasn’t guaranteed my life will be free from war, hunger, or disease, and he certainly doesn’t magically give me more willpower to resist sin. So, what gives? Here’s a story I think can help.
