When the Wise Men Said, “What Next?”

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Faith · on Dec 26, 2022

Despite the Bible’s scanty details about the Wise Men, their story is extraordinary. They found some Hebrew holy writings and interpreted them to mean exactly what God said. They believed something completely counter to their culture and religion. They risked their reputations and more to find Jesus. God’s glory in the form of a star started their journey—and reappeared during the last few miles of the trek to guide the Wise Men to Jesus and His family. They worshipped the child-king, God Incarnate. Then dodged powerful enemies they’d made along the way.

Almost Persuaded

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Promises · on Sep 25, 2022

“Almost” may be the saddest word in the English language. No matter what you pair it with, something misses the mark. “Almost perfection” is not quite there. An “almost win” doesn’t count. “Almost passing” is a worse-than-lousy grade….

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Direction · on Aug 6, 2022

Did you ever try to run away from home as a kid? I didn’t. But as an adult, sometimes I’ve wanted to run away from life. That’s how Hagar felt when she ran away—both times….

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Encouragement, Trust · on May 22, 2022

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Biblical history, God at work · on Jan 24, 2022

“God is concerned about the details of your life.” You’ve heard that many times, but why is it hard to believe?…

When Exhaustion Overwhelms You

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Encouragement · on Sep 27, 2021

Since August, work had been wringing the life out of me, so I planned on writing about exhaustion. (It seemed appropriate.) Geesh. Last month’s exhaustion was nothing compared to these past three weeks….

When Life’s Have-to’s Overwhelm You

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Discernment, Strength · on Aug 15, 2021

Despite a crushing work deadline, I’m playing Solitaire on my computer. The project’s overbearing demands weary me. But coursing deep below them, like an underground river, is a more profound fatigue….

When Strength Fails You

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Strength · on Aug 9, 2021

I’ve been thinking about strength a lot lately—partially because COVID-19 stole much of mine from me. It’s hellacious trying to regain those losses. My legs scream after I hike for just a half hour….

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Encouragement · on Mar 1, 2021

The Exodus is full of examples of God’s power and provision. First we saw how He provided manna and quail. Last week was pillars of cloud and fire. This week wraps up this three-part series with promises and peace—the most enduring provisions God made for His people….
