I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
Matthew 10:16

Developing a Heavenly Perspective
Have you ever wondered what God thinks of all the things happening around us? Perhaps that’s an impossible question to even ponder, but I disagree. God has revealed a glimpse of His perspective to us in His word. An amazing thing happens when we absorb God’s word into our hearts. That little glimpse of God’s […]
Good News! Let’s Get to Work!
Have you ever noticed that many of the best things we hope for and we celebrate also come with the promise of a lot of hard work? Anyone who has welcomed a new child into their lives knows the joy of that arrival and the immense work it takes to care for this precious, helpless […]
The Master of “What if…”
The words “what if” contain a powder keg of potential. All of the amazing advances we have experienced through the centuries in physics, technology, healthcare and so much more started with someone uttering these two words, “what if.” One generation of discovery is built upon by the next, reaching new heights by asking the same […]
Sabbati-Blog Day 17: An Unexpected Answer to an Unexpected Prayer
A child’s first steps are the most difficult. After that, walking comes easier. Riding a bike gets better after you find out how to stop in an upright position. Writing curriculum for a discipleship process gets easier once you get the first lesson written. Well, I was still crashing and I needed to hit my […]
Sabbati-blog Day 14: Ready or Not… Write!
For the last two weeks I have enjoyed the opportunity to dive into the Bible, mostly in Matthew, to see the inner workings of disicpleship. How do we follow Jesus? How did Jesus make disciples? What are the obsticles to discipleship? The things I uncover seem so new at times, and yet they are ancient, […]
Sabbati-blog Days 4 & 5: Falling in Love All Over Again
The first few days of my sabbatical left me feeling dazed, confused and inadequate. By most standards, this wasn’t the ideal start to a time of rest, study and creativity. I guess I just needed to get it out of my system… or maybe into my system. Dazed, confused and inadequate are pretty good […]

Spiritual Rhythms
/by David SeabaughI eat every day. Usually, I eat at the same time every day. My body enjoys the rhythm of eating and benefits from that regularity. The same is true of many other things in my life. I brush my teeth twice a day as a part of my morning and evening routines. I go to […]
You Know the Cure
/by David SeabaughYou can relate to her suffering. You know it too well. You still bear the scars. It’s such a common disease, yet it affects people so differently. This menacing malady is stealthy; its victims can have it without ever realizing it. Worse yet, it somehow convinces us that we’re fine… but we’re not. Slowly, deliberately, […]
Say the Word
/by David SeabaughIt is fascinating to witness the change in behavior when a person learns that I’m a pastor. Some people express an instant sense of guilt or insecurity. It’s awkward. If someone has been using foul language before they realize the reverend’s presence, they may apologize to me, or if a word or two slips out […]
Rise Above
/by David SeabaughMy favorite seat in the airplane is the window seat. I know it’s not the most convenient seat in the airplane for getting around, but that’s a small price to pay for the view out the window. There is just nothing like looking down on entire cities, lakes or mountain ranges. If I’m lucky, I […]
Carrying Jesus
/by David SeabaughI have come to the painful realization that only so much can be said about the Bible in a single sermon or Bible class. Just because I get to teach something in a Bible class doesn’t mean it will make it into a sermon. This means a lot of powerful biblical truths are left sitting […]
