Faith That Works

June 30, 2020October 1, 2024 Megan Bean

The Christian life is so much more than that one decision followed by a waiting game until eternity gets here. Faith is so much more an idea, a ticket we tote around until we get to Heavenโ€™s gate and present it for admittance.

Prodigal

May 8, 2020October 28, 2024 Megan Bean

Prodigals โ€“ human as well as animal โ€“ donโ€™t always look the way we expect. They might not strike us as bitter, rebellious, or unstable. Their inner struggles donโ€™t always show in their attitude or actions. Yet they still wander. They still need restoration. And, whatever their driftings, God is more than willing to give it.

The Way Back Home

April 10, 2020October 29, 2024 Megan Bean

Jesus owed His life to no one. Yet He chose to give it up. Because it was the only way to truly bring us and the entire creation "home".

Even in the midst of heart-stopping terror, He offers the heart-healing, life-giving good news of His presence, love, and care.

Not Even Rare Disease

February 28, 2020October 28, 2024 Megan Bean

We donโ€™t know just how long and wide and high and deep Godโ€™s love for us is until weโ€™ve seen it go with us through suffering โ€“ and then conquer pain and death.

Versing into the New Year: Part 2

January 16, 2020October 28, 2024 Megan Bean

Sometimes we start a journey with passion and focus, but as time goes on and the novelty fades, we lose that energy....The good news? God never leaves us.

Versing into the New Year: Part 1

January 11, 2020June 1, 2022 Megan Bean

I turn to poetry because it can speak in ways that prose canโ€™t. We can pray,ย  even sing, through poetry.

Records of Wrongs

December 5, 2019October 29, 2024 Megan Bean

It's vital for us to understand how to both receive and extend forgiveness. Just as a business' financial survival depends on managing its accounts, so our spiritual livesย depend on addressing ours in a God-honoring way.

When God Says โ€œYesโ€

September 27, 2019October 29, 2024 Megan Bean

How do we know what Godโ€™s will is? Sometimes the only way to find out is to pray and see. But there are some things we can know for sure are always His will โ€“ things we can confidently expect Him to give when we ask for them.
