“Father of Mercies and God of All Comfort”
Steven A. Bush
The Scriptures teach us much about comforting those who are hurting. May we be vessels and voices of our Father’s mercy, comfort, and love to those sorely afflicted, suffering loss, or deeply pained within.
“Those We Least Expect”
Steven A. Bush
When God takes hold of those we least expect, extraordinary results become ordinary: A mere handful prove victorious over multitudes–ask Gideon. Shepherd boys slay giants–ask David…
“Bones, Sticks, and The New Covenant”
Steven A. Bush
In the New Testament we learn that Messiah-King is Jesus the Christ. In the New Covenant of God, instituted by the shedding of Jesus’ blood, our Lord purchases redemption and adoption for all who will believe, for Jews and Gentiles alike. So we are Abraham’s children by faith.
“Marriage: The Portrayal of Christ and His Church”
Steven A. Bush
God’s intent from the beginning was for holy matrimony to depict the covenantal bond between Christ and His Church. The Church, as the Scriptures proclaim, is the Bride of Christ…

“Calling on God with Salty Wet Cheeks”
Steven A. Bush
Have you ever been to your wits end? The pits of despair? Ever been to a ‘God-please-don’t-leave-me-here’ place?! Warning, such places are part of the normal Christian life…
“Jesus is Lord and Every Knee Should Bow”
Steven A. Bush
Paul issues a tall order in terms of exhorting us to walk in humility and serve one another selflessly. But then he gives us divine motivation as he points us to Jesus.
“Be Ever So Encouraged”
Steven A. Bush
Sometimes God speaks in a soft whisper and we have to lean in close to hear Him. Often it’s through the illumination of Scripture. Sometimes it’s through the anointed encouragement of a wise friend (or even a stranger). He’s there. He loves you. Wait for Him…
“Onward in Christ with Torches Well Lit”
Steven A. Bush
May we be blessed to run our races in such a way that we cross the finish line with our torches blazing, that great cloud of witnesses cheering, our Father smiling–and all this to the honor and glory of His name!
