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 […]
Chicken or Egg? Church or Discipleship?
I recently heard Rev. Dan Hudson from Sanctuary Church in Manhattan, IL speak at the Movement Conference hosted by LINC – Twin Cities. Now, much of the conference moved me, but none more than an analogy that Dan drew up on a sheet of paper. It has to do with aligning our priorities with Jesus’ […]
Happy Holi-Why?
I find myself intrigued by why people do what they do. In my intrigue, I try my best not to judge, but to simply observe. What makes it so intriguing is that often people are truly unaware of why they do what they do. They just do it! People don’t usually want to admit it […]
GODSpeak, not YOUSpeak
Self-Expression… I don’t usually tend to use political examples, but the “Occupy ____” movement has left me fascinated. For the longest time, analysts have tried to narrow down the message to a unified core, to no avail. Talk to five protesters and you get five different messages. Even the supposed leaders of the movement don’t […]

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 […]
