The Stuff that Drives Us Crazy
Today I want to share with you an older blog post that still rings true today – about the stuff that drives us crazy and how we, as Christians, are taught to react. There is a song that I just love about things that drive me crazy (you can listen to it here or below.) In […]
From Anxiety to Joy
Today I want to talk to you about anxiety. We all get anxious and worried about situations in our lives, and you can use herbal remedies to help such as those found here https://www.frontrangerelief.com/cbd-softgels/, but Scripture teaches us that praise and worship is the antidote to anxiety. In the below entry from my devotional, Sitting […]
Worn Out?
Today in my Making Space for God blog, I want to discuss an epidemic that I see in Christian circles– being worn out. I can easily recognize the symptoms. When asked how you are doing the response is, “I am busy!” Or perhaps I see the same glazed over look in their eyes as I […]
Be Careful What You Think
Welcome to Making Space Monday (for God, that is!) As we continue our journey of spiritual growth together, I want to address our thought life. Scripture is clear that as a man thinks so he is. This is one of my favorite Scriptures because it always gives me cause to observe my actions to see […]
The Enemy Destroyed
Those of you who follow my blog regularly know that right now we are the midst of studying Ephesians at our Teaching & Worship Experience each week. I often share my teaching notes on the blog but today I want to share with you Scripture from Ephesians that I used in one of my daily […]

A New Humanity
In this week’s study of Ephesians, we look at Ephesians 2:11-22. In this text, we’re looking at walls of hostility. As you know, I share my notes from the teaching here on the blog. In the first few lines of this text, Paul is focusing on the Gentiles who were: Alienated from God and thus without […]
Come Just As You Are
Good morning, Making Space for God friends! Last week as I was preparing to meet some friends for dinner, I looked in the mirror and thought, “Boy, do I look terrible.” I even entertained the idea of not going because facing the redo that was needed was daunting. It was the end of the day […]
A Greater Yes
Here we are in the final days of Advent, waiting and preparing for the birth of Jesus. However, I want to talk to you today about a different kind of waiting… waiting for the desires of your heart to be fulfilled. As you reflect on the past year, you may feel that you have just […]
A Gentle Answer
Today’s topic for making space for God Monday is based on the following Scripture: A gentle answer turns away wrath. Why is this the topic for today? Because I am trying to prepare us for the Christmas season. As we celebrate the advent of Jesus we also must prepare to celebrate with the arrival of […]
