There are those who rebel against the light … — Job 24:13In the light, we see things as they really are. It’s impossible to hide in the light. If we feel the need to hide, then the light is not our friend; it is our enemy. Why do we hide? Because we do not trust the One who is light. We believe that He will see our stains and mistake those stains for us.The darkness is an illusion that fools only us. God sees through the darkness just as plainly as He sees through the light. There is no real…
Dear sisters, A few years ago our daughter worked as an intern for a summer in a biotech lab in Paris. My husband and I visited her – she was delighted to show us "her" city. I fell in love with Paris and, again, with my brilliant, funny, adventurous daughter.During one of our shopping-touristy-amazing food-art museum expeditions I rediscovered something I’d heard once and filed away under "interesting." In France, the scratch and dent departments of appliance stores are called "Retrouvaille" (pronounced retro-vie) – a word that technically means to "rediscover" or "find anew" – it can also refer to…
Kim and I are looking into starting a meal preparation service to support our family and ministry. We would love to get your input and ideas: http://www.dwightclough.com/survey/… God has called us to live in peace. – 1 Corinthians 7:15The reality is this: All of us have people in our lives that we wish would change or go away. Quite often those people live under the same roof we do. I want to especially encourage those of you who are married to someone you don’t like any more, someone who won’t change, someone who is, well, a jerk.God sees you. He…

Moses listened to his father-in-law [Jethro] and did everything he said. — Exodus 18:24The silence of God. No one knew God like Moses. Moses spoke with God face to face, he had a relationship with Him unparalleled in his day. Yet God never told Moses how to organize a judicial system. He was silent on that point.Why? Because God wanted Jethro to tell Moses. Jethro had administrative insight to bring to the table. I’m glad that God has put Jethros in my life. One of the most important of these advisers is my wife. She has enough common sense to…

… but we had hoped that He was the one who was going to redeem Israel…. Luke 24:21 For years my wife sufferered from panic attacks. Things went from bad to worse until panic was 24/7 for her. Things got better when she finally went on medication. Then on September 13, 2001, she had a half hour prayer session with Steve Freitag of CrossCounsel. In that prayer session, she was miraculously delivered from panic. The next morning, she put away her medication, and lived virtually panic free for the next 18 months. She also began a journey of meeting with God in…
Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. — Matthew 8:24 When my wife began experiencing panic attacks, I naturally wanted to help. As soon as I figured out that she was getting up in the middle of the night and rushing to the window air conditioner and gasping for breath because she was in panic, I decided to do the helpful thing and teach her a few things about fear. I had memorized a long list of verses about fear. I showed her how to stand in…
Many Christians see The Da Vinci Code as an opportunity for evangelism; others say it’s a chance to engage the culture. Rubbish. Da Vinci is dangerous, so I’d like to suggest a better alternative
