At times my heart is pricked either by a scripture, a biblical worldview or a life experience. When that happens I write. Here you will find essays and devotions that highlight spiritual insights and musings.
I think the hardest paths in life are meant to be walked alone—like Jesus in Gethsemane or the road that led to the cross. These roads are traveled in silence—journeys of solitude where growth happens and change is accepted. When you walk alone, there are no distractions, no outside conversations to sway you, no well-meaning … Continue reading traveling alone | on solitude as a necessary path to life
What is the church? What does it look like? Feel like? Sound like? I grew up in church. My mother was a Christian before I was born—the serious kind, not a pew-warmer, not a seasonal Christian, but Christs blood ran deep in our family roots. I was not a first-generation believer but a fourth-generation Evangelical. … Continue reading The Church | A House of Prayer
How fragile is my relationship with God or rather my faith? Today I was reading about plants. I asked Google, “What happens to a 40-year-old plant?” I thought that if I could understand how plants grow, maybe I could understand something about my own spiritual state of existence. The article said ‘plants at forty years … Continue reading Deep Roots | Kim Blenkhorn
“When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like … Continue reading Why the Women? – Luke 24:9-11
Some Sadducees—who denied the resurrection—approached Jesus and said, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, if a man dies leaving a childless wife, his brother must take her and raise up offspring for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. Each married the woman and died, leaving her childless. Finally, the woman also died. In the resurrection, … Continue reading Whose wife will she be… Luke 20
The Pharisees questioned Jesus, asking, “Tell us, by what authority do You do these things? And who gave You this authority?” (Luke 20:2). But Jesus turned the question back to them, and their response revealed both their position and the source of their authority. False authority is performative and dependent on people, while true authority … Continue reading By What Authority? Luke 20
What do you think of when you think demon possession? I no longer believe that demon possession looks like rolling eyes, spinning heads, or flying objects. Hollywood has distorted the truth and, in doing so, erased something far more dangerous: Satan’s subtlety. Scripture describes him as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, an angel of light, … Continue reading Satan Entered Judas -Luke 22:3
The Pharisees ask a question that prompts Jesus’ teaching about his return: “When is the kingdom of God coming?” Without extensive study, it is difficult to know precisely how the Pharisees processed the kingdom of God. While we often think of the “kingdom” as a New Testament concept, its roots are deeply embedded in the … Continue reading Kingdom Coming – Luke 17:20-37
Jesus is walking the borderlands—the space between Samaria and Galilee—when ten men appear. They do not approach. They cannot. They stand at a distance, bodies marked, voices raised, shouting the only prayer they have left:“Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” The village is unnamed, but it does not need a name. It may have been … Continue reading Go Your Way – Luke 17:11-19
