In the Shadow of the Cross
Seeing life clearly in the shadow of the cross.
Things look different in the shade and in the light. The blinding sun can make it difficult to see clearly so I prefer seeing clearly in the shade. On hot days, I love the shade much more than the scorching heat of the sun.
The purpose of this blog is to see and feel differently in the shade of the cross of Christ. Without the sacrifice of Jesus, the heat of God’s wrath can scorch my soul. I can feel the guilt of sin. I also see life by means of performance. How can I perform for people in order to get their approval? How can I perform for God so that he blesses me? The burden of performance can be blinding. In the shadow of the cross, I can see life for what it really is.
Living in the shadow of the cross is liberating. So I am going to blog my own personal devotion life. You will see me use the word “I” a lot. You will watch me write as I see myself. Then you discover with me what I look like in the shadow of the cross. The love of God is transformational. I pray that my experience can help some of you see yourself in the shadow of the cross of Jesus so he can transform you.
Thank you Full of Eyes for the use of the image.
Why Church Feels Different at Christmas—and All Year Long
The Christmas service experience is a small reflection of what the church does all year long. Church is a special place where special things happen. Those differences reflect the unique meaning and purpose for those gatherings.

What if we lived in a world of isolation?
Step into a community that pushes back against isolation. God did not leave us alone. He came in Jesus Christ—our Savior and Redeemer—so we could have an eternal relationship with Him and with one another.

Repentance Hurts
"This is going to hurt me more than it is going to hurt you." I've said this and thought it as a parent dealing with the disobedience of my children. I've taught it as a pastor when applying it to God's dealing with our disobedience. But never have I really experienced the hurt of repentance until recently. Harboring sin in the heart is a terrible place to be. Why does my sinful nature want to stay in that filth? Why don't I listen to God's plea to come clean and receive his

God is Jealous?
Jealous, ever feel that way? We are normally told not to be jealous. If you have ever heard of controlling spouses overrun by feelings of jealousy or business partners that split because one was jealous of the other, it is not positive. What about God? How can he be jealous? Isn't it petty for him to be jealous? We have to consider why God would be jealous. Isaiah 40 declares God's great compassion for his beloved people. Isaiah 41 compares the futility of idols because they

Focus
Focus on what’s important. It’s so easy to be distracted by the stuff. One click and I am down another rabbit hole. Sometimes in conscious. I know what I am choosing and I have a few seconds of evaluation and decide to be distracted because it is much easier to give in than to fight it. Sometimes it is unconscious. I have no idea I am doing it until I am already sucked in. Why did I do that? What happened? Where did that come from? Distractions are so prevalent and that makes

Perfectionism Destroys My Perfectionism
Do I struggle with perfectionism? This is the second time I am writing on this same theme so take a guess how I answer this. I set the bar pretty high for myself on a lot of things. This is good because I am reaching and striving. But it can be damaging to my identity and self esteem because I’m constantly falling short of these expectations. The sad part is that they are all self-imposed expectations. It ties in with my deep desire to find my identity in performance. I tend

In The Shadow
I want to explain a little more about the image chosen for the blog. First, thanks to Full of Eyes for the use of the image. His unique style and commitment to putting Christ or his cross in every image is refreshing. That value lines up with the purpose of this blog. We see life better when in the shadow of the cross. The artist of the image uses this passage for the basis of the picture. 2 Corinthians 4:6 , “For the God who said, 'Light will shine out of darkness,' is the

Hidden Treasure
I never thought of Jesus as the school teacher type. I always considered him to be the traveling preacher. He would tour around winning big crowds to see him for special speaking engagements. Why stuff Jesus into one role? He is not one of those “Jack of all trades, master of none.” He really is master of all trades. He could and did do it all well, from the big speaking engagements ( Matthew 5-7 ) down to the personal visitation ( Mark 5:37ff ). In [Christ] are hidden all th

Rescued
It’s hard to relate to the concept of being rescued. I have never felt that my life was in great danger. There was one time on an international trip that I should have died for various reasons, but I never felt in danger during that time. I was rescued and my life was spared. I’ve never been in war where bullets were screaming over my head. I’ve never been in a fire where the flames were about to consume me before a fireman stormed through the door. I’ve never been in a car a

I need more
There is so little time to get everything done. There is little energy to do all the things I am supposed to do in that allotted time. I lack the resources to live a fulfilled life. These are all lies that I often hear and say. It is so easy to be stuck on what I don’t have and what I believe I need. “I don’t have time for that.” “I can’t afford that.” “I am too tired.” Lies! My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19.

Perfect yet?
I don’t know what I expected. Why am I surprised I wouldn’t be better by now? Why did I think it would get easier? I guess it is the perfectionist inside me that wants to be done with the struggle. Maybe it is also the fear of pain and hardship that doesn’t want the struggle. There are a lot of the internal and external pressures of life and I fall into the trap of believing that it gets easier. Or will it? For [salvation] has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only

What does it matter?
Some love me. Some hate me. I seem to give too much attention to both. I want those who love me to love me more because I desire their approval. I want those who hate me to love me because I desire their approval too. I can’t help it. I love approval. It’s like an addiction. I can’t get enough. The devastating happens when I get too much or too little. My head inflates this size of a hot air balloon when I people praise me. Just as quickly, the balloon explodes when others at

You are here
Alone. No one in the room with me. I am all by myself. I don’t see anyone or hear anyone. Alone is good when I want to let some emotions out. But then after they are out, alone is a bad place to be. Alone can be scary and well… lonely. David knew what it was to be alone. He felt alone in his sin. But God was always there with him. In Psalm 23, the first half, David describes his Good Shepherd as “he.” Then he transitions beautifully to “you” as he finishes the psalm. Even tho

No gray area
I am not a black and white person. I like to see both sides and quite often there is a gray area in most decisions that are made. I can see both sides of an argument when I listen and validate both opinions. The realm of eternity is not a matter of opinion. There are only two kingdoms. There is the kingdom of Satan or the kingdom of God. Satan is darkness. God is light. Satan is sin. God is perfection. Satan is evil. God is good. There is no middle ground. There is no area of

I do what is right. I serve God. I follow him. What payment do I get? I see those who live evil lives prosperous and rich. Why do they get the good life and I have to be content with what I have? First question, am I really that good? Am I better than other people? No, I have my own personal struggles and sins that plague me every single day. So accordingly, I don’t deserve riches and comforts. But riches and comfort are exactly what God promised me. Heaven is a place where I
