    Character… When No One is Looking

    There is an old saying – “Character is what you do when no one is looking.” It was popularized by the man who wrote God’s Little Instruction Book. Henry Ford used a version of it when, speaking about quality, said, “Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.” The question comes, what do…

  • At Calvary – Episode 109 – A Debt Worth Having

    At Calvary – Episode 109 – A Debt Worth Having

    The Bible speaks clearly about the dangers of short-term debt. Yet, when God wants to encourage us to love others, He uses the image of debt to urge us to keep loving. Why is that? What about love and debt are connected? Let’s think about that together At Calvary… Looking for more? You can always…

  • That God is Sovereign Matters

    That God is Sovereign Matters

    What does it mean to you to say that God is in control? Is that something that gives you confidence, or is it something that makes you confused? In God’s Word the sovereignty of God is the underlying assumption of every act of faith. With the exception of extreme suffering, the faithful saw God’s sovereignty…

    At Calvary – Episode 108 – Set on Fire by Hell

    The human tongue is pretty small. Yet, the human tongue has amazing powers. It has both the power to heal and the power to kill. The New Testament writer James points this out and talks about what we should do about it. We will talk about both this week At Calvary… Looking for more? You…

    Not Pray? That’s Silly!

    Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God’s infinite grace and power. – R. A. Torrey That’s a cool quote, isn’t it? When I read that, I get a picture in my head of the colossal power that is ready to be used when we just ask for it. I see God…

    At Calvary – Episode 107 – Teachers Matter so… They Should Act Like It

    When the Bible puts its spotlight on leaders, that light is incredibly bright. Do leaders notice? What a disappointment it is when leaders are the ones acting as if their testimony is unimportant!We will talk about the importance of how leaders (and all of us!) use what they say At Calvary… Looking for more? You…

  • Why are We Waiting?

    Why are We Waiting?

    Have you decided to do something and after you did it asked, “Why did I wait so long?” It’s a common experience. It happens when we’ve delayed something out of convenience or fear. When we finally force ourselves to do that ‘thing’ we find that we shouldn’t have delayed it. Do we ever do that…

  • At Calvary – Episode 106 – Be Quick to Act

    At Calvary – Episode 106 – Be Quick to Act

    As those who trust Jesus to save us, when we read the word works we automatically resist it. We do so because we are saved by faith, not by self-righteous works. However, as we think about what James tells about faith we discover that faith acts. We will talk about how faith acts together At Calvary……

    When in Pain, What Do We Do?

    A few years ago, I fell while skiing with my family. I just clobbered my shoulder. I thought that I might need rotator cuff surgery to repair what I injured. During the first week I had quite a bit of pain. How I responded to that pain reminded me of what I have seen other…

  • At Calvary – Episode 105 – You Believe in God – So What?!

    At Calvary – Episode 105 – You Believe in God – So What?!

    In his letter, James makes a harsh observation about demons – demons believe that God exists! Yet, their so-called belief doesn’t make them follow God. It makes them run from Him. James argues that Biblical faith must be more than just believing that God exists. What is it? We will talk about what faith is…
