In the early morning of January 2021, we received the most precious welcome to parenthood: a six-lb. 11-oz. baby girl. Since then, I've learned to appreciate God's love and

Getting a job as a teacher on Long Island can be very difficult. Nepotism is rampant. If you are not well connected, there is almost zero chance of you landing a job. I believe that God placed Michelle in her new role as a principal that year because...

I was gathering my papers and briefcase so that I could run out the door to an important meeting to plan the building of a larger church. I was in a rush. My children, Jason and Julie, were 6 and 3 years old. They heard me getting ready to leave. They ran up to me, questioning, “Where are you going, Daddy?” “I am going to a meeting,” I replied factually. I had to gently pry their arms off my neck so I could go. They started...

We were praying to God for Him to open a door for her. To us, it seemed impossible because many people were losing their jobs. It was as if we had forgotten that God can do anything regardless of the situation. One day, while I was at work, I received...

We are flooded by daily media advertisements that scream for our attention, trying to get us to make decisions based on what we see and how we feel. How do you respond to these daily bombardments? Are you driven to make decisions by what you see and...

The book of Revelation and its symbols, stories, and themes are the subject of many modern books, movies, and art. In the United States and worldwide, people have a general sense that we are living out the scenes written in the pages of Revelation. One survey reports that 41% of all U.S. adults, 54% of Protestants, and 77% of Evangelicals believe the world is now in the biblical end times. It makes sense, then, that interest in...

As I enter the sixth decade of my life, I think that faith—true faith in God—is starting to set in for me. Finally, I, like many of you, have seen so much—so much sorrow, so much pain, so many...

My contemplative thoughts of beauty and MORE BEAUTY were interrupted by the giggles and laughter of little hikers, 4 or 5 years old, climbing up to the very same spot with their parents. Another family followed. Then another one. I watched as these little ones peered over the edge. Dancing about. Jumping from rock to rock. Parents were taking pictures and...

How many times have you beaten yourself up because you didn’t have perfect faith? How often have well-meaning friends or church members insinuated that your prayers will only be answered if you do not doubt? That night, God told me otherwise. For the first time in my life, I realized that I did not need to have faith big enough to move the mountain. I only needed to...

That summer, as I started looking for work, I felt confident that Christ would provide the best opportunity for me. I had forged ahead and left my job in Brooklyn and was ready to change professions if need be. The month of June came and went, and I had no job. The month of July came and went, and...
