I found this a very helpful reminder: Do you want to know the root and spring of humility? One word describes it. The root of humility is right knowledge.

Some have said the NFL lockout may have been the greatest marketing tool in some time. Everyone is wildly excited that football is back, when in reality it never went anywhere.

Someone asked me last night after our service, “Do you ever grow weary?” I replied, “don’t we all?” Admittedly there are many times when I grow weary. Relationship, ministry, and life require effort, and my flesh still remains. In selfishness, I believe, I will sometimes wonder what it matters, or why bother putting in the [...]
Those at Edgewood heard a sermon on Abraham’s faith and the order of trial and testing. These testings increased in their difficulty and intensity. However, for years, God had been proving Abraham’s faith was of Him and genuine. I received this email today and thought it was a good reminder that God’s still works to [...]
Well, weather permitting, today begins a new phase in the the Lutz family, Little League! Tyler is playing coach’s pitch baseball and Lauren is playing coach’s pitch softball.
