“Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you” (Isaiah 41:10 – The Message)
The book of Job begins with an unimaginable tragedy experienced by a man who “feared God and shunned evil” (Job 1:1). Identified as “the greatest man among all the people of the East” (Job 1:1) Job experienced a financial disaster when he lost 500 oxen, 500 donkeys, 3,000 camels and 7,000 sheep, and the deaths of the many servants (laborers) who tended them.
In the wake of this financial catastrophe, a hurricane-like “mig...

Dealing With Grief – Stuart Segall
We hear about the certainty of “death and taxes,” but grief has to be right up there with those two. You might be resigned to the others but how do you navigate grief?
For most of my adult life, I’ve done a lot of work as a chaplain. I’ve sat with the dying; many I did not know until I met them at their end. It was painful for me as I wear my heart on my sleeve. I often journey back in my mind to where my mom would take me as a boy to nursing homes to teach me the art of comforting those who are alone even at a time when they might be surrounded by humans that love them. It would have been easy to avoid such uncomfortable scenes by ...

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all his holy people throughout Achaia: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

Comforting and Being Comforted by Greg Albrecht
“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God” – Isaiah 40:1
These uplifting words, among the most studied and often quoted words of Isaiah, speak of a time of comfort after the nation of Judah would bring self-inflicted destruction on its own head. Isaiah wrote at a time when corruption and injustice permeated the commercial, religious, and political culture – he prophesied that the end result of it all would turn the proud city of Jerusalem into a smoldering ruin, a heap of rubble.
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God is an assuring message for all of us during any time of desolation, bondage and ...
A Message of Comfort, Care and Compassion by Greg Albrecht
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness
Every day for
the past few weeks we have all heard increasingly discouraging news
related to the coronavirus pandemic. Each news cycle informs and
cautions us about further restrictions. It seems that the “walls are
closing in on us” and our world is shrinking. We are also seeing and
experiencing what can happen when fear turns into panic and
every-person-for-themselves greed.
Can we picture Jesus pushing
and shoving his way to get a few items left on a grocery store shelf?
As Christ-followers, while we should and must take care of our
necessities, and be careful not to ...
