The Value of One Soul

Jeff Chacon April 23, 2020 Do you remember what it was like to be spiritually lost? Do you remember when life seemed like an unsolvable puzzle or maybe even a cruel joke? Do you remember waking up in the morning and dreading the day or going to bed at night and feeling that vague sense […]

Hey Moms, This One’s For You

Jeff Chacon April 21, 2020 This post by Tiffany Chacon, whose popular blog, “Mommy of Mayhem, Christian Motherhood in a Chaotic World”, gives moms 10 practical ways to find calm in the storms of life… When I was a sophomore in college, my family went on a 10-day Caribbean cruise over the Christmas holiday.

Busyness hides underlying spiritual issues

Jeff Chacon April 17, 2020 But God has slowed our lives down recently and we’re forced to face some of those issues – uncomfortable as they may be for us.

He is risen!… Now, what?

Jeff Chacon April 14, 2020 He reigns! “…he (God the Father) raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms… (Ephesians 1:20b)” (see also Hebrews 8:1; 12:2) From Heaven, he rules, empowers and leads his kingdom on earth through his Spirit, poured out on us at Pentecost… “God […]

Making the most of “the quarantine days”

Hey Guys, This One’s For You

Jeff Chacon April 6, 2020 I get it… No sports on T.V. No hopping in your car and driving to work. No stopping by your favorite restaurant for a bite. We’re starting to feel a little like caged animals. We love our homes. We love our wives and children (or if single, our roommates). But… […]

What if you could…

Jeff Chacon April 2, 2020 What if you could make someone’s day better simply with a few words? Would you say them? What if you could ease someone else’s suffering, comfort them, and strengthen their faith just by talking to someone else about them? Would you talk to that person about them? Want to know […]

Jeff Chacon April 1, 2020 I looked at the road with its potholes and pitfalls and wondered how I’d get by. But he reached for my arm and pointed up high, and simply said— “Look to the sky!” I found myself drowning in water so deep, afraid of the waves, so high! But he reached […]

Every Piece Matters

Jeff Chacon March 27, 2021 Puzzles frustrate me. You open up the box and hundreds of odd-shaped, little pieces of cardboard tumble out of it. You look at the pile of pieces awkwardly jumbled on top of each other on the table in front of you and wonder how they are ever going to come […]
