Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed! What a wonderful message!Happy Easter, everyone! It’s Melodic Monday and the second day of Easter! So, today’s Christian contemporary song is GOD WHO SAVES by Caedmon’s Call. Words and music by Aaron Senseman. The lyrics proclaims the essence of Easter: There is life in the blood of the Lamb who was slain There is power, there is power in His name There is love pouring out of the wounds that were made Pouring…
Here are my reflections based on Luke 22:63-23:12, MSG. It is pretty tough to read this text. It feels bad to see how terribly Jesus was treated. It feels bad to think that we are capable to do such horrible things. It feels bad to think that we would turn our backs to Jesus wanting his death when it would be for our benefit to do against God’s will. This Bible story illustrates, however, that God’s will will happen no…
Okay. I thought I’d better explain why I am so in love with Wild Grace! (Romans 5:1, MSG) pretty much sums up the case of Wild Grace: By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us—set us right with him, make us fit for him—we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus.

What is the difference between a Christian and a non-believer? Not much. We breath the same air, we read the same newspapers, we pay the same unbelivable price for gas. The difference is that we know where our help comes from. I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121: 1-2) Indeed, my help does not come from horoscopes, money or…
Have you experienced Flow? I have to confess that when I am writing I can burn all the cooking even if I am just 10 feet away! The writing process is so exhilarating that I can’t help it. My husband knows this and he calls me on my cell to wake me up from Flow when I need to tend to some everyday stuff in the midst of my writing time. According to Wikipedia “Flow is the mental state of…
